Ingredients explained
Iron (as ferrous bisglycinate chelate)
Iron is incorporated into hemoglobin and enzymes involved in oxygen transport and cellular energy production.
Caution: Take with food if you experience stomach upset; keep away from children because accidental ingestion can be dangerous.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C can reduce ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-heme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach discomfort in some people when taken on an empty stomach.
Folate (as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium)
5-MTHF is the bioactive form of folate used in one-carbon metabolism to support red blood cell formation and methylation processes.
Caution: Consult your healthcare professional if you use high-dose B vitamins or have specific methylation concerns.
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin supports red blood cell formation and helps convert homocysteine to methionine in methylation pathways.
Caution: High-potency B12 is generally well tolerated but may interact with certain lab tests; inform your healthcare provider about supplementation.
L-Histidine (as L-histidine HCl)
Histidine is an essential amino acid that contributes to hemoglobin structure and acts as a precursor to histamine and carnosine.
Caution: Those sensitive to histamine may prefer to monitor how they feel when starting.
How they work together
Iron provides the core mineral for red blood cell function, while vitamin C supports iron absorption in the intestine. Folate and vitamin B12 contribute cofactors for red blood cell production, and histidine supports hemoglobin structure, creating a comprehensive approach to iron utilization.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a healthcare practitioner if pregnant, nursing, or on medication. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal for children under 6; in case of 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 dosing from iron by at least 2 hours due to reduced absorption. Those with iron overload conditions or who receive regular blood transfusions should consult a healthcare provider before use. If combining with medications that may interact with iron, consult a healthcare provider first.
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
