Iron is difficult for the body to absorb, and supplementing with conventional forms of iron, including ferrous sulfate, can cause gastrointestinal side effects – such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, and dark-coloured stools. Thorne's ® contains iron reacted with glycine to enhance its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thus helping to decrease the typical side effects of iron supplementation. Who needs iron supplementation?

Iron is an essential mineral needed for the formation and function of healthy red blood cells. An adequate amount of iron in the diet is required for blood cells to efficiently transport oxygen throughout the body.

Individuals who are prone to iron or B vitamin deficiency include:

- Women of menstruating age
- Individuals who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet
- Older individuals and others who tend to have less stomach acid
- Individuals who have undergone gastric bypass surgery
- Those who have intestinal conditions that affect nutrient absorption
- Individuals with an autoimmune disorder or diagnosed iron deficiency. What are the signs of iron deficiency?

- Fatigue or weakness
- Shortness of breath
- Pale skin
- Cold hands and feet
- Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
- Changes in menstrual cycles
- Decreased athletic performance Why include vitamin co-factors?

Iron is not the only nutrient essential for healthy red blood cells. Having a deficiency in the B vitamins can also lead to adverse issues with red blood cell formation. ® combines the active forms of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate), vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), and folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate), along with vitamin C, with a well-absorbed form of iron – offering comprehensive nutritional support for iron-deficient states.

Signs of B vitamin deficiency include:

- Fatigue or muscle weakness
- Decreased mood quality
- Sores in the mouth or on the tongue
- Problems with memory or cognition
- Feeling of being on “pins and needles" Ingredients
