Ingredients explained
Iron (as iron bis-glycinate)
Iron is a core component of hemoglobin and enzymes involved in energy production, and chelated bis-glycinate form is designed for gentle absorption in the small intestine.
Caution: High iron intake can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and constipation; keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Vitamin C (from calcium ascorbate blend)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-heme iron absorption and uptake.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in some people; taking with food can improve tolerance.
Calcium (from calcium ascorbate blend)
Calcium supports cellular signaling and bone mineralization; at this low amount it is unlikely to impact iron absorption.
Caution: Higher calcium doses can compete with iron for absorption, so avoid additional high-calcium supplements at the same time if focusing on iron uptake.
How they work together
Iron supplies the building block for hemoglobin and enzymes, while vitamin C promotes iron absorption by keeping it in a more absorbable form. The buffered vitamin C source provides gentler acidity, aiming for comfortable daily use.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant or nursing, have a health condition, or use medications, consult a health professional before use. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6; keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate iron by at least 2 hours, as iron may reduce absorption. Those with iron overload disorders should seek medical guidance before use. If you take medications that may interact with iron, talk with your healthcare provider first.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
