Ingredients explained
Iron (as ferrous bisglycinate chelate)
Iron is a key component of hemoglobin and enzymes, helping transport oxygen and support energy-related cellular processes.
Caution: High-dose iron may cause stomach upset or constipation; take as directed and keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and ascorbate forms)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron and forms soluble complexes that may enhance non-heme iron absorption in the gut.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people, especially on an empty stomach.
Folate (as folic acid)
Folate provides one-carbon units for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation.
Caution: High folic acid intake can mask signs of low vitamin B12; use as directed.
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in DNA synthesis and red blood cell maturation.
Caution: Very high amounts are generally well tolerated but may interact with certain lab tests.
Copper (as bisglycinate chelate)
Copper is involved in iron metabolism through cuproenzymes that help mobilize iron for use in the body.
Caution: Excess copper can cause nausea; avoid combining with high-dose zinc without guidance.
How they work together
Ferrous bisglycinate provides a gentle, highly absorbable form of iron, while vitamin C may promote better uptake in the intestines. Folate and vitamin B12 support DNA synthesis and red blood cell production, and copper contributes to iron utilization.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal for children under 6. Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, contact a physician 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. Individuals with hemochromatosis or other iron overload concerns should consult a healthcare provider. If you have gastrointestinal sensitivity, start with a lower amount and take with food if needed. Since this product contains iron, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before combining with medications that may interact.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
