Ingredients explained
Iron (as ferrous bisglycinate chelate)
Iron is incorporated into haemoglobin and enzymes, where it helps transport oxygen and supports cellular energy production.
Caution: High-dose iron may cause digestive discomfort and can interact with some medicines; take as directed and keep away from children.
Folate (as folic acid)
Folate donates methyl groups for DNA synthesis and supports the formation of red blood cells.
Caution: High intakes may mask low vitamin B12 status; consistent intake from supplements and food should be considered.
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in red blood cell formation and in pathways that help recycle folate for DNA synthesis.
Caution: Very high doses are generally well tolerated but may be unnecessary for those with adequate intake.
Vitamin C (esterified complex)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-haem iron absorption.
Caution: Large amounts may cause mild gastrointestinal upset; take with food if sensitive.
Copper (as bisglycinate chelate)
Copper functions in enzymes involved in iron transport and the formation of haemoglobin.
Caution: Excess copper may cause nausea; avoid combining with additional high-dose copper supplements.
How they work together
Iron provides the core mineral needed for oxygen-carrying proteins, while vitamin C may enhance its intestinal uptake. Folate and vitamin B12 support DNA synthesis for red blood cell production, and copper contributes to iron transport 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 dosing from iron by at least 2 hours due to reduced absorption. Those with a history of iron overload should seek medical advice before use. If you take interacting medications, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before combining with this product.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
