Science & Research

Iron is essential for hemoglobin synthesis and cellular energy production. Vitamin C reduces ferric iron and supports intestinal absorption. Chelated forms are often selected when tolerability is a clinical priority.

Frequently asked questions

Why include vitamin C?

Vitamin C enhances non-heme iron absorption and is commonly co-administered in clinical iron repletion protocols.

Will this cause constipation?

Glycinate and aspartate forms are often better tolerated than ferrous sulfate. If GI upset occurs, discuss dose and timing with your clinician.

Can I take iron with my multivitamin?

Many multis are iron-free by design. Review total iron intake and avoid doubling unless directed by your practitioner.

How long until I feel a difference?

Iron repletion timelines vary. Follow-up labs typically guide how long to continue.

How long does one bottle last?

One capsule daily equals a 60-day supply per 60-capsule bottle.
