Iron Complex
NOW
Overview
This supplement provides a solid combination of iron, vitamin C, folate and vitamin B12 which are essential for red blood cell production and iron absorption. The use of Ferrochel iron, a bioavailable form of iron, is a positive. The addition of organic dong quai and red raspberry, while potentially providing other benefits, may be less relevant to the primary goal of iron supplementation. The combination of vitamins is likely effective for those with iron deficiency anemia, but has lacking evidence for benefit in non-anemic individuals. The dosage of iron is appropriate for daily supplementation.
