Are you getting enough iron?

Our Chelated Iron provides 23 mg of iron (ferrous gluconate) per tablet. This form of iron is gentler on the bowel. We also blend it with Vitamin C and a base of supporting herbs and minerals to promote iron absorption by the body.

Iron is a mineral used by the body in the production of red blood cells and proteins. Iron helps the blood transport oxygen from the lungs throughout the body. Without sufficient iron, the tissues, muscles and other systems do not receive adequate oxygen and thus they cannot perform properly.

Vitamin C is needed for iron absorption in the body and plays a vital role in the formation of red blood cells. It also helps in the creation of enzymes, hormones and proteins. Vitamin C is the only dietary ingredient, other than animal tissue, that has been shown to promote iron absorption.

Rose hips are the portion of the rose that remains after the petals fall off. Native North Americans ate rose hips in the wild as a dietary staple. During World War II, when citrus fruit was scarce, Britons gathered rose hips and made them into syrup to nourish children. Rose hips are a natural source of vitamin C and contain beneficial bioflavonoids and antioxidants.

Yellow dock root is a source of plant-based iron and other minerals. It is thought to aid the body in assimilating iron. Traditional herbalists have recommended yellow dock root tea to promote healthy iron levels and support the circulatory system.

Chickweed is an edible and nutritious plant, containing important nutrients such as vitamin C, flavonoids, carotenoids, calcium, iron and other minerals. Chickweed has been used traditionally to support the glandular and urinary systems. Modern herbalists also recommend chickweed for low iron levels (due to its high iron content).
