Hematinic formulas provide the nutrients needed to help create new red blood cells. Studies indicate a hematinic formula that uses a combination of essential B vitamins and vitamin C in addition to iron is superior to a formula using these nutrients individually. Each nutrient is reliant on the others for proper red blood cell formation. Ferrasorb® combines the active forms of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate), vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), and folate (L-5-methyltetra-hydrofolate) with well-absorbed iron bisglycinate – for an optimal hematinic product. Vitamin C is added to enhance iron absorption.

Individuals who can benefit from a hematinic formula include those with a greater need for iron, those who tend to chronically lose iron, and those who do not absorb iron well. Such individuals include teenage girls, pregnant women, women of childbearing age (particularly if they have heavy menses), individuals with malabsorption syndromes (Crohn's disease or Celiac disease), individuals on chemotherapy, elderly patients with low hydrochloric acid secretion, and individuals with poor kidney function.

Iron deficiency can manifest as weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness, tinnitus, spots before the eyes, drowsiness, irritability, infrequent menses, and loss of libido.

Suggested Usage

Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by a health-care practitioner.

Warnings

This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.

5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.

Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

Best iron supplement I've ever taken!

by Leila -

Prescribed by my doctor some years ago. Never given me any stomach issues and has helped raise the iron level in my body.
