Optimal Iron Chewable by Seeking Health provides well-tolerated, well-absorbed iron as ferric glycinate, along with vitamin C to support optimal iron absorption. Iron is a mineral that the body needs for healthy growth and development. The body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, and myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles. Iron is also important for normal synthesis of certain hormones and for maintaining healthy connective tissues.
Iron is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the U.S. and the world. This is because iron can be a difficult mineral for people to absorb.
Many people require iron supplementation to maintain healthy iron levels. However, several types of iron supplements can cause side effects such as stomach upset or constipation.†
Iron Chewable is a well-tolerated and delicious chewable iron with added vitamin C to support iron absorption.
Iron Chewable provides 10 mg (56% Daily Value) per chewable tablet. This lower dose allows for easy dose customization. The ferric glycinate form of iron is gentle on the stomach, taste-free, and well-tolerated by those sensitive to iron dietary supplements.
Fatigue, lightheadedness, and cold hands and feet are all signs of iron deficiency anemia. This is because iron is critical for delivering oxygen to cells. The body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Iron is also used to make myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen for muscles. This oxygen helps to generate energy in every cell of your body.
Iron plays key roles in:
- Normal energy production
- Hormone synthesis
- Healthy metabolism
- Supporting muscle function
- Healthy immune system function
- Enzymatic reactions by serving as a cofactor nutrient
Unlike many standalone iron supplements, Iron Chewable includes vitamin C. This antioxidant is an important cofactor for the efficient absorption of iron.
