If you need to build up your iron stores, this is a seriously dosed product. You're getting 85mg of **Iron** per tablet — nearly double the 45mg tolerable upper limit, which signals this is designed for correcting deficiency under professional guidance, not casual daily use. The slow-release format helps reduce the GI distress common at this dose.
**Vitamin C** at 300mg supports your iron absorption, and the B-vitamin complex is well built: **Folate** as methylfolate (400mcg), **Vitamin B12** as methylcobalamin (500mcg), and B1/B2/B6 all at 25mg. These are the active, body-ready forms, and the doses align with clinical supplement ranges. **Copper** at 2mg rounds out the formula since it's essential for iron transport in your blood.
This is a therapeutic-dose product, not a maintenance supplement. The iron level alone means you should only take it if a healthcare provider has confirmed your need for aggressive iron repletion.
