Overview
•Ferrous bisglycinate form minimizes gastrointestinal side effects like nausea and constipation compared to other irons, safe at 24 mg elemental iron daily.
•Vitamin C at 80 mg enhances iron absorption without exceeding safe limits; B6 (5 mg), B12 (500 mcg), and folate (200 mcg) are well below upper tolerable intakes.
•Low interaction potential; may reduce absorption of tetracyclines, quinolones, or thyroid medications—take separately by 2 hours.
•Suitable for pregnancy to support increased iron needs, but consult healthcare provider; not recommended for children under 14 or those with hemochromatosis.
•Free from common allergens including gluten, dairy, nuts, eggs, and yeast; vegan formulation reduces sensitivity risks.
•High-quality manufacturing by Metagenics with no reported contamination issues; monitor iron levels with long-term use to avoid excess.
