Ingredients explained
Iron (as ferrous fumarate, amino acid chelate)
Iron is a core component of haemoglobin and enzymes, helping transport oxygen and support cellular energy metabolism.
Caution: High-dose iron may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or constipation; take only as directed and keep away from children due to toxicity risk.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and mineral ascorbates)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut and forms soluble complexes, which may enhance non-haem iron absorption.
Caution: Large doses may cause digestive upset; consider taking with food if sensitive.
Folate (as calcium-L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate)
L-methylfolate supplies the active folate form used in DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation.
Caution: High intakes may mask signs of low vitamin B12; use within recommended amounts.
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin acts as a cofactor in red blood cell production and in methylation reactions involved in energy metabolism.
Caution: Very high amounts are generally well tolerated but may interact with laboratory tests; discuss timing with your provider if testing.
Copper (as amino acid chelate)
Copper is a cofactor for enzymes involved in iron transport and utilisation, including ferroxidases that support iron mobilisation.
Caution: Excess copper may cause nausea; avoid combining with additional high-dose copper supplements.
How they work together
Iron provides the elemental mineral needed for oxygen transport, while vitamin C may enhance its intestinal uptake. Folate and vitamin B12 contribute coenzymes for red blood cell production, and copper supports iron mobilisation and utilisation.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products may be fatal for children under 6. Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, contact a doctor or poison control centre immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics or levodopa may need to separate iron by at least 2 hours due to reduced absorption. Those with a history of iron overload or who are advised to limit iron should consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
