Iron Complex - 100 tabs

What is in this iron complex? NOW Foods Iron Complex is formulated with Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate, a patented and bioavailable form of iron. This form is bound to the amino acid glycine, making it easier for the body to absorb. The formula also contains cofactors often taken with iron, such as vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), folate, and vitamin B12. Additionally, dong quai root extract and raspberry leaf have been added. Why choose Ferrochel® iron? Ferrochel® is a form of iron bound to two glycine molecules (bisglycinate), giving it a neutral charge. This promotes absorption in the small intestine, independent of other nutrients or pH levels. Furthermore, this form of iron is generally better tolerated by people with sensitive stomachs or intestines. This reduces the likelihood of constipation or stomach upset compared to some other iron salts. The addition of vitamin C supports iron absorption, while folic acid and B12 contribute to red blood cell formation. The plant extracts make the formula more complete, although they are not added in active amounts for specific effects. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Does this product contain heme iron or non-heme iron? This supplement contains non-heme iron in the form of iron bisglycinate (Ferrochel®), a plant-based and well-absorbed mineral bound to an amino acid. Is this supplement suitable for vegetarians or vegans? Yes, the tablets are vegetarian-formulated. All excipients used are plant-based. Although the product is not labeled as "vegan," it contains no ingredients of animal origin. Can this product cause constipation? The form of iron used (Ferrochel®) is known to be well-tolerated and is less associated with constipation than other forms of iron such as iron sulfate. However, every body reacts differently; if you experience sensitivity, it is advisable to discuss the dosage with a doctor. Why does this formula contain dong quai and raspberry leaf? These botanical extracts are added as supportive ingredients, but not in quantities that fall under health claims. They contribute to the overall balance of the formula but are not intended for therapeutic use. Is this suitable during pregnancy? Use this supplement only after consulting a doctor during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The amount of iron and added herbs make professional guidance recommended. Plent's usage tip! Do you use multiple supplements daily? Keep your iron tablet near your toothbrush or coffee mug so you remember to take it with your breakfast. Always take the tablet with a meal containing some fat or fiber, such as oatmeal, nut butter, or yogurt. Avoid simultaneous intake with calcium-rich products or caffeine for optimal absorption.
