Key actives per serving
- Iron (as ferrous bisglycinate chelate): 36 mg (200% DV)
- Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin): 300 mcg (12500% DV)
- Folate (as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate): 667 mcg DFE (167% DV)
- Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate): 5 mg (294% DV)
- Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid): 15 mg (17% DV)
How to take
Take 1 capsule one to three times daily, preferably with food to reduce stomach discomfort; iron-containing products are often better tolerated when taken away from high-calcium foods or supplements.
Ingredients explained
Iron (as ferrous bisglycinate chelate)
Iron supports haemoglobin formation and oxygen transport, and the bisglycinate chelate form is designed for gentle, efficient absorption in the gut.
Caution: High iron intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or constipation; keep away from children due to risk from accidental ingestion.
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin acts as a cofactor in red blood cell formation and methylation processes that support energy metabolism.
Caution: High potency B12 is generally well tolerated but may interact with certain lab tests; those with specific dietary restrictions should verify suitability.
Folate (as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate)
L-5-MTHF is the bioactive folate form that donates methyl groups for DNA synthesis and supports normal red blood cell production.
Caution: Folate can mask low vitamin B12 status; consistent intake should be paired with adequate B12.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate)
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate functions as a coenzyme in haem synthesis and amino acid metabolism related to energy production.
Caution: Excessive B6 over time may cause tingling or numbness; avoid combining with high-dose B6 from other supplements.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
Ascorbic acid reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-heme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals; take with food if needed.
How they work together
Iron provides the core mineral for haemoglobin, while vitamin C enhances its intestinal uptake. Folate, B12 and active B6 work together in methylation and haem synthesis pathways to support healthy red blood cell formation and energy metabolism.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal in children under six; keep out of reach and seek immediate medical attention if an overdose occurs. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate dosing from iron by at least two hours due to reduced absorption. Those with iron overload conditions or a history of stomach ulcers should discuss use with a healthcare professional. If combining with medications that may interact with iron, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
