Ingredients explained
Iron (from certified organic curry [Murraya koenigii] extract)
Iron is a component of haemoglobin and enzymes, helping transport oxygen and support energy metabolism.
Caution: May cause digestive discomfort in some people; keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C enhances non‑haem iron absorption and acts as an antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals.
Caution: High doses may cause stomach upset in sensitive individuals; consider taking with food if irritation occurs.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A supports the formation and function of red blood cells and contributes to normal immune function and vision.
Caution: Excessive intake may build up in the body; avoid combining with other high‑dose vitamin A supplements unless advised.
Folate (as 5‑MTHF L‑methylfolate)
5‑MTHF is the active form of folate used in one‑carbon metabolism, supporting normal red blood cell formation.
Caution: Folate may mask low vitamin B12 status; consider balanced B‑vitamin intake from diet or supplements.
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid that functions as an antioxidant, helping stabilise cell membranes against oxidative stress.
Caution: May interact with certain medications due to antioxidant activity; discontinue if unusual skin sensitivity occurs.
How they work together
Iron supplies the core mineral for red blood cell formation, while vitamin C enhances iron absorption from the patch matrix. Folate and vitamin A contribute to normal red blood cell development and maturation. Astaxanthin provides antioxidant support that complements nutrient functions under oxidative stress.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, or have any medical condition, consult your doctor before use.
Who should be cautious: People using thyroid medicines, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate iron from these by at least 2 hours as iron may reduce absorption. Those with iron overload conditions should seek medical advice before use. If you take medications that may interact with iron, consult a healthcare provider before combining.
