DHC Heme Iron

Iron, Vitamin B12, and Folate are functional ingredients that help maintain good health.

Heme Iron is an efficient way to supplement iron, which is commonly deficient in women.

Iron is a mineral with poor absorption rates in the body, and it is one of the minerals that should be actively supplemented, along with calcium.

The iron found in food comes in two forms: heme iron, which is abundant in animal-based foods like meat and fish, and non-heme iron, found in plant-based foods like vegetables and grains. Heme iron from animal products is generally known to have a higher absorption rate.

Heme iron is combined with Vitamin B12 and Folate to avoid interference with absorption from tannins in tea or coffee.

Recommended for individuals concerned about iron deficiency or for those in their growing years.
