Key actives per serving
- Iron (as ferrous bisglycinate chelate): 36 mg (200% DV)
- Folate (as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate): 667 mcg DFE (167% DV)
- Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin): 300 mcg (12500% DV)

How to take
Take 1 capsule one to three times daily, preferably with food to reduce stomach upset; iron products may be better tolerated when taken with meals.
Ingredients explained
Iron (as ferrous bisglycinate chelate)
Chelated iron is absorbed in the small intestine and helps build hemoglobin and myoglobin for oxygen transport and energy metabolism.
Caution: High iron intake can cause stomach upset or constipation; take as directed and keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Folate (as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate)
L-5-MTHF is the active folate form that donates methyl groups for red blood cell formation and homocysteine metabolism.
Caution: Consult a healthcare professional if using high-dose folate alongside medications that affect folate pathways, as it may alter lab interpretations.
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin serves as a cofactor for DNA synthesis and methylation processes involved in red blood cell production and energy metabolism.
Caution: Very high B12 amounts may be unnecessary for those with adequate intake; discuss long-term high-dose use if you have B12-related testing needs.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate)
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate functions as an active coenzyme in amino acid metabolism and hemoglobin synthesis.
Caution: Excessive B6 over time may cause nerve tingling; avoid combining with other high-dose B6 supplements unless advised.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
Ascorbic acid reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-heme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach discomfort in sensitive individuals; taking with food can improve tolerance.
How they work together
Iron supplies the core mineral for oxygen-carrying proteins, while vitamin C supports intestinal iron uptake. Folate, B12, and B6 provide methylation and coenzyme support needed for healthy red blood cell formation and amino acid metabolism.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal to children under six; keep out of reach and seek immediate medical help if an overdose occurs. Use only if the bottle is sealed. If pregnant, consult a healthcare practitioner before use.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate iron by at least 2 hours due to reduced absorption. Those with iron overload conditions such as hemochromatosis or chronic liver concerns should consult a healthcare provider. Individuals with a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal sensitivity may need caution with iron supplements. Because this product contains iron, consult a healthcare provider before combining with medications that may interact.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
