This is an iron-recovery formula built around 85mg of **Iron** in a chelated amino acid form — nearly double the 45mg tolerable upper limit, which puts it squarely in therapeutic territory for treating diagnosed deficiency or anemia. If your ferritin levels are normal, this dose is more than you need, so check with your doctor before starting. The 300mg of **Vitamin C** is a smart pairing — it significantly boosts iron absorption, and the two have established clinical synergy.
The B-vitamin complex adds meaningful support for blood cell formation. **Vitamin B12** (500mcg as methylcobalamin) and **Folate** (400mcg as L-methylfolate) are both in bioactive forms your body can use directly — important because B12 and folate deficiencies often accompany iron-deficiency anemia. **Thiamine**, **Riboflavin**, **Vitamin B6**, and **Niacin** are all dosed at standard B-complex levels.
The minerals beyond iron are present in token amounts. **Zinc** at 5mg is a third of the typical supplement dose, **Selenium** at 10mcg is a tenth of the studied range, and **Calcium** at 25mg is negligible. These won't move the needle — the value here is the high-dose iron with absorption-enhancing cofactors, not broad mineral coverage.
