Iron is an essential nutrient for humans. As a component of red blood cells, it helps store and deliver oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. It is also a key factor in energy metabolism, DNA synthesis, and an essential cofactor in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. The best food sources of iron are red meat, poultry, shellfish, and legumes.

Many do not consume enough iron on a daily basis and/or lose significant amounts. Vegetarians and adolescents typically do not meet iron recommendations. Those who exercise regularly, donate blood, have malabsorption concerns, gastric bypass patients, menstruating females, and pregnant and lactating women may have higher nutritional needs than the average person. Though some popular foods and beverages are fortified with iron, it may not be enough to satisfy recommended daily intake. Our Advanced Iron Complex supplies 161% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of iron along with supporting C and B vitamins when taken as directed. Our time-release tablets promote optimum absorption and utilization.
