Ingredients explained
Iron (as Ferrochel bis-glycinate chelate)
Chelated iron supplies elemental iron that is absorbed in the small intestine and incorporated into hemoglobin and enzymes needed for oxygen transport and energy metabolism.
Caution: Use only as directed and keep away from children because excess iron can cause gastrointestinal upset and accidental overdose can be dangerous.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut and forms soluble complexes that may enhance nonheme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach discomfort in some people; taking with food can help.
Folate (folic acid)
Folate supports DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation, which may complement iron’s role in building healthy red blood cells.
Caution: High supplemental folic acid can mask signs of low vitamin B12; use within suggested amounts.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in red blood cell production and methylation pathways that support normal energy metabolism.
Caution: Very high intakes are usually well tolerated but may be unnecessary for those already meeting needs.
How they work together
Iron bis-glycinate provides absorbable iron for oxygen transport, while vitamin C improves nonheme iron uptake in the gut. Folate and vitamin B12 support red blood cell production, complementing iron’s role in building healthy blood components.
