Ingredients explained
Iron (from ferrous bisglycinate)
Iron is a core component of hemoglobin and enzymes, helping carry oxygen in blood and support cellular energy production.
Caution: Take with food to reduce stomach upset; keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C enhances non-heme iron absorption in the gut by maintaining iron in a more absorbable form and supports antioxidant defense.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in some people; consider taking with meals if sensitive.
Folate (as 340 mcg DFE, from 200 mcg folic acid)
Folate supports DNA synthesis and contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
Caution: High intakes may mask low vitamin B12 status; stick to suggested use unless directed otherwise.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell formation and helps convert food into cellular energy through methylation and mitochondrial pathways.
Caution: Very high potency may be unnecessary for some users; those sensitive to B vitamins may prefer taking earlier in the day.
Organic Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis) (rhizome/root)
Dong quai contains aromatic compounds and coumarins that are traditionally used to support circulation and general women’s wellness.
Caution: May interact with anticoagulant effects; avoid with bleeding concerns and discontinue before procedures.
How they work together
Iron provides the core mineral for oxygen transport, while vitamin C improves iron uptake from the intestines. Folate and vitamin B12 support red blood cell formation, complementing iron’s role. Botanical extracts are included as traditional tonics to round out the formula.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental iron overdose can be fatal in children under 6; keep out of reach and seek immediate medical help if overdose occurs. For adults only. Not intended for pregnant or nursing women. Consult a physician if you take medication or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate dosing by at least 2 hours due to iron’s effect on absorption. Those with iron overload conditions should use caution. People sensitive to dong quai or raspberry leaf should review with a clinician. If combining with medications that may interact, consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place after opening.
