Ingredients explained
Iron (as amino acid chelate/complex)
Iron is a key component of hemoglobin and enzymes, helping transport oxygen and support energy production.
Caution: High-dose iron may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or constipation; take as directed and keep away from children due to overdose risk.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and ascorbate forms)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-heme iron absorption.
Caution: High intakes may cause stomach upset in some people; taking with food may improve tolerance.
Folate (as calcium-L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate)
L-methylfolate provides the active folate needed for DNA synthesis and normal red blood cell formation.
Caution: Folate can mask signs of low vitamin B12; consistent B12 intake is important when using higher-dose folate.
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor for red blood cell maturation and supports methylation and energy metabolism.
Caution: Very high doses are generally well tolerated but may be unnecessary for those with adequate intake.
Copper (as amino acid chelate)
Copper is required for iron transport proteins such as ceruloplasmin, which supports normal iron utilization.
Caution: Excess copper may cause nausea; balance with zinc intake as they can compete for absorption.
How they work together
Iron provides the core mineral for oxygen transport, while vitamin C may enhance its absorption in the intestine. L-methylfolate and vitamin B12 support red blood cell production processes, and copper helps the body mobilize and use iron efficiently.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products may be fatal in children under 6. Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate iron dosing by at least 2 hours due to reduced absorption. Those with a history of iron overload or who have been advised to limit iron should consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place.
