Ingredients explained
Iron (as Ferrochel bis-glycinate chelate)
Chelated iron is absorbed in the small intestine as a neutral complex, supporting the rebuilding of iron stores and haemoglobin formation.
Caution: High intakes may cause stomach discomfort or constipation; take as directed and keep away from children due to the risk from accidental ingestion.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C reduces ferric iron to ferrous form in the gut, which may enhance non-heme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in sensitive people; taking with food can improve tolerance.
Folate (folic acid)
Folate participates in DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation, which may complement iron’s role in haemoglobin production.
Caution: High supplemental intakes may mask low vitamin B12 status; use as directed.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 is required for red blood cell maturation and works with folate in methylation pathways related to blood formation.
Caution: People with low stomach acid or certain diets may have variable absorption; consistent daily intake supports adequacy.
How they work together
Iron bisglycinate supplies a gentle, well-absorbed form of iron, while vitamin C may improve its uptake in the intestine. Folate and vitamin B12 support healthy red blood cell formation, complementing iron’s role in haemoglobin.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal for children under 6; in case of accidental overdose, seek medical help or contact a poison control centre immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate dosing as iron may reduce absorption. Those with a history of iron overload conditions, stomach or intestinal disorders, or who are prone to constipation may wish to discuss suitability with a healthcare professional. If combining with medications that may interact with iron, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider first.
