What Does Ortho Iron® Do?
Advanced iron formula with clinically effective 30 mg SunActive® iron plus synergistic cofactors; strong absorption evidence but 25 mg B6 requires neuropathy monitoring and dairy allergy caution applies.
How does SunActive® ferric pyrophosphate compare to other iron forms for absorption and GI tolerance?
Is 25 mg of active B6 (P5P) safe for daily long-term use?
Does the lactoferrin in this formula enhance iron absorption beyond standard iron + vitamin C?
