Ingredients explained
Iron (as fermented iron bisglycinate)
Iron is a core component of hemoglobin and enzymes involved in energy production, and bisglycinate form is designed for gentle absorption in the intestine.
Caution: High iron intake may cause stomach upset or constipation; keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Folate (as folic acid)
Folate supports red blood cell formation by donating methyl groups needed for DNA synthesis.
Caution: High intakes may mask vitamin B12 deficiency; consider overall B12 status if using long term.
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in red blood cell formation and energy metabolism.
Caution: Very high amounts are generally well tolerated but may interact with lab tests of B12 status.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C reduces ferric iron to ferrous form in the gut, which may enhance non-heme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals when taken without food.
Organic Beetroot
Beetroot provides natural nitrates and phytonutrients that may support blood flow and general nourishment.
Caution: May temporarily color urine or stools reddish, which is harmless.
How they work together
Iron bisglycinate provides absorbable iron for hemoglobin and energy enzymes, while vitamin C supports its uptake in the gut. Folate and vitamin B12 work in DNA synthesis and red blood cell production, complementing iron’s role. Beetroot adds phytonutrients that can support circulation and overall nourishment.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal in children under six; keep out of reach. In case of accidental overdose, contact a doctor or poison control center immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate dosing from iron, as iron may reduce absorption. Those with iron overload conditions or who are advised to limit iron should consult a healthcare provider before use. If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or take medications, talk to a healthcare provider first. Because this product contains iron, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before combining with medications that may interact.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool place and avoid moisture. Once opened, consume within three months.
