Symptoms cause reduced work capacity, reduced ability to concentrate in school, and a loss on global GDP of $70 billion per year. Iron deficiency exists in every country around the world, and with global rates on the rise, an astounding number of Cambodians suffer from it. Iron supplements are too expensive and simply aren\u2019t working. We need the lucky iron fish. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"center\"><p>We&#8217;re committed to having a social impact in every facet of how we do business.<span id=\"tweetquote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http:\/\/bit.ly\/1DJUk4i&amp;via=unreasonable&amp;text=&quot;We're committed to having a social impact in every facet of our business&quot; @LuckyIronFish @GavinA09\"><i class=\"fa fa-twitter\"><\/i> Tweet This Quote<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>What solution do you propose?<\/h2>\n<p>The lucky iron fish is a simple solution for this global problem. It\u2019s small, shaped like a fish, and fits in the palm of a hand. To use it, you simply boil drinking water or make soup, put the fish in your pot, and boil it for 10 minutes with a little citrus. The little iron fish releases up to 90% of daily iron intake and will last for 5 years, benefiting the entire family for only $5. Its unique design features, such as a smile that fades away over time letting you know when to replace it, make the lucky iron fish easy to use. We partner with local Cambodians for design and production,  and we use biodegradable packaging produced by a co-op that hires disabled Cambodians. Our international packaging is even made from recycled materials. We have improved the lives of over 100,000 Cambodians so far, and our unreasonable goal is to put a fish in every pot around the world.  <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h3>Want to take action?<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_large rounded\" style=\"color: #ffffff; background-color: #eb1478;\" href=\"http:\/\/lucky-iron-fish.myshopify.com\/collections\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Get or Give a Lucky Iron Fish!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH THIS 7 MIN VIDEO on how the lucky iron fish is a simple, affordable, and easy to use solution to the global problem of iron deficiency&#8230;and it fits in the palm of a hand.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":22587,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1491,1492,1538,2009,1490,431],"tags":[2137,2134,267,2136,2135,228,2138],"class_list":["post-22570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development-tags","category-health-tags","category-institute","category-2015_institute","category-poverty-tags","category-talks","tag-cambodia","tag-gavin-armstrong","tag-health","tag-iron-deficiency","tag-lucky-iron-fish","tag-poverty","tag-social-impact","post_format-post-format-video"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
