Essential ingredient absorption enhancement to minimize side effects
150 mg | Iron
(as Sumalate® (ferrous asparto glycinate 50 mg) and (polysaccharide iron complex 100 mg)) |
Highly bioavailable, chelated Sumalate® iron partnered with the safety and tolerability of Polysaccharide iron complex1-6
Two iron forms offer complementary absorption to ensure maximal daily iron intake possible from an iron supplement |
60 mg | Vitamin C | Facilitates iron entry into the enterocytes7
Reduces interference of iron absorption by food inhibitors8,9 |
50 mg | Succinic Acid | Helps transport iron from the enterocytes into the bloodstream10,11 |
1700 mcg DFE | Folate
(as 1.4 mg Quatrefolic® (6S)-5 methyltetrahydrofolate glucosamine salt (equivalent to 750 mcg of folic acid) and folic acid, USP 250 mcg) |
Ensures that hemoglobin generation is not limited by inadequate supply of folic acid whether or not individuals have MTHFR mutations12-16

15 mg | Zinc (as zinc bisglycinate chelate) | Zinc deficiency often accompanies iron deficiency17,18
Supports a healthy immune system, supports cell division and cell growth17,18 |
25 mcg | Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) |
Ensures that hemoglobin generation is not limited by inadequate supply of vitamin B122 |
100 mg | Desiccated stomach substance | Desiccated stomach substance may contain factors that could be required for vitamin B12 absorption19 |
