Ingredients explained
Iron (as fermented iron bisglycinate)
Iron is a key component of hemoglobin and enzymes, helping transport oxygen and support cellular energy production.
Caution: Take only as directed because excess iron can be harmful, and keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Folate (as folic acid)
Folate participates in one‑carbon metabolism to support red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis.
Caution: High intakes may mask signs of low vitamin B12, so consistent use should consider overall B-vitamin intake.
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in red blood cell production and energy metabolism by supporting methylation and mitochondrial function.
Caution: People with low stomach acid or vegan diets may have variable absorption, so consistent daily intake can be helpful.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance nonheme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach discomfort in some people; taking with food or water can improve tolerance.
Organic Beetroot
Beetroot provides naturally occurring nitrates and phytonutrients that may support blood flow and overall vitality.
Caution: May temporarily affect urine or stool color, which is harmless.
How they work together
Iron supplies the building block for hemoglobin, while vitamin C enhances nonheme iron absorption in the gut. Folate and vitamin B12 work together in red blood cell formation and methylation, complementing iron’s role. Beetroot adds dietary nitrates and phytonutrients that align with circulatory and energy support.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal for children under six; keep out of reach. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate dosing from iron. Those with iron overload conditions or who are prone to constipation may need caution. If using medications that may interact with iron, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool place and avoid moisture. Once opened, consume within three months.
