Overview

Iron is essential to the formation and function of healthy red blood cells.* An adequate amount of iron in the diet is required for blood cells to efficiently transport oxygen throughout the body. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), up to 16 percent of individuals in certain populations are deficient in iron. Iron is difficult for the body to absorb, and supplementing with conventional forms of iron can cause gastrointestinal side effects. Thorne's Advanced Iron Complex contains iron reacted with glycine to enhance its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thus helping to decrease the typical side effects of iron supplementation.* Iron is not the only nutrient essential for healthy red blood cells — a deficiency in the B vitamins can also lead to adverse issues with red blood cell formation.* Advanced Iron Complex combines the active forms of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate), vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), and folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate), along with vitamin C, with a well-absorbed form of iron — offering comprehensive nutritional support for iron-deficiency anemia.*
