Ingredients explained
Iron (elemental) from Ferrous Bisglycinate (Ferrochel)
Iron is incorporated into haemoglobin and enzymes, supporting oxygen transport and energy-related cellular reactions, while the bisglycinate form may enhance absorption and gentleness on the stomach.
Caution: Take with food to reduce stomach upset; high iron intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and is unsuitable for those not needing additional iron.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C can reduce ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-haem iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals; limit high-dose vitamin C from multiple sources if prone to digestive discomfort.
Folate (as 340 mcg DFE from 200 mcg folic acid)
Folate participates in DNA synthesis and cell division, supporting the formation of healthy red blood cells.
Caution: Those using high-dose folic acid elsewhere should avoid excessive combined intake to prevent masking low vitamin B12 status.
Vitamin B-12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in red blood cell formation and methylation reactions important for energy metabolism.
Caution: Very high intake from multiple supplements may be unnecessary; individuals with limited animal foods may benefit from consistent intake.
Organic Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis) (rhizome/root)
Dong Quai contains aromatic compounds and coumarins that are studied for circulatory and tonic effects.
Caution: May interact with medicines that affect bleeding; discontinue before planned procedures and avoid excessive sun exposure if sensitive.
How they work together
Iron supports oxygen transport, while vitamin C may enhance its absorption in the intestine. Folate and vitamin B12 contribute to red blood cell formation, complementing iron’s role. Botanical components add traditional tonic support without overlapping the core nutrient pathways.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal in children under 6; keep out of reach. In case of overdose, contact a doctor or poison control centre immediately.

Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics or levodopa, as iron may reduce absorption; separate dosing by at least 2 hours.

NOW® Iron Complex is a unique blend of Ferrochel™ Iron (a bioavailable form of iron) and its important co-nutrients combined with complementary botanicals. Iron is a mineral required for the formation of haemoglobin, a molecule that transports oxygen to the cells throughout the body in red blood cells. Vitamin B-12 and folate are necessary for red blood cell production, while vitamin C is known to enhance iron absorption from the GI tract. This vegetarian formula is well-tolerated and non-constipating and has been designed to maximise iron absorption and utilisation by the body.
