Iron Core
$22.00 USD
capsules · 30 servings
Key compounds: Longjack (root), Zinc (as Zinc Oxide), Magnesium (as Magnesium Oxide), Tribulus Terrestris (fruit), Chrysin (seed)
How to take: For optimal absorption and to minimize potential interaction with dietary calcium or phytates, take Iron Core in the morning or mid-day, ideally with a source of Vitamin C.
Absorption: Non-heme iron absorption is significantly enhanced by co-ingestion with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which reduces ferric iron (Fe3+) to the more absorbable ferrous form (Fe2+). While taking iron on an empty stomach maximizes absorption, consuming it with a light meal can mitigate potential gastrointestinal discomfort.
Stacks well with: Iron Core pairs synergistically with Vitamin C to enhance non-heme iron absorption and with B-complex vitamins (particularly B12 and folate) to support comprehensive erythropoiesis and energy metabolism.
Important: Individuals with hemochromatosis, iron overload disorders, or those taking medications such as levothyroxine or certain antibiotics should consult a healthcare professional before use.
