Contributes to the formation and function of red blood cells
Iron Plus Essentials is an iron supplement that supports red blood cells to promote the transport of oxygen and ferritin throughout the body. Ferrochel brand iron bisglycinate was developed using a patented chemical process that allows it to be rapidly absorbed between the intestinal lumen and mucosal cells before being released throughout the body. The intestinal mucosa controls the release of Ferrochel, confirming the safety profile of this iron amino acid chelate. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, iron supplementation resulted in improved ferritin levels, energy, and well-being in female subjects. This formula contains buffered vitamin C (calcium ascorbate), which enhances iron absorption.
Adults: Take 1 capsule daily with a meal, a few hours before or after taking other medications or natural health products, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
