Those who have alternative diets that need to ensure that they are getting the optimal amount of nutrients each day will be interested to hear about the Lucky Iron Fish as a new way to infuse foods with nutritional benefits. The device works by being placed in a mixture of acidic ingredients including vinegar, citrus juice and others which will prompt the fish to release a small portion of the iron that it is made of. This mixture can then be placed into your other ingredients to add up to 7mg of [bioavailable iron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olly-delightful-iron) into your diet without having to rely on [traditional supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fulvic-minerals).

The Lucky Iron Fish will offer up to five years of use if used daily and acknowledges consumer preferences for simple ways to [make meals healthier and more nutritious](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-wins).
