SEEKING HEALTH Optimal Iron Chewable 60 Vegetarian Tablets

Optimal Iron Chewable by Seeking Health provides well-tolerated, well-absorbed iron, such as ferric glycinate, along with vitamin C supporting optimal iron absorption. Iron is a mineral that the body needs for healthy growth and development. The body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, and myoglobin, a protein that supplies oxygen to the muscles. Iron is also important for the proper synthesis of certain hormones and for maintaining healthy connective tissues.


Iron requires some auxiliary nutrients, such as vitamin C, to be effectively absorbed and used in the body. Low levels of these nutrients can make it difficult to increase iron levels even with supplementation. Vitamin C combines with iron during digestion, creating a compound that is more easily absorbed by the body and helps minimize the effects of certain dietary compounds that interfere with the absorption of iron, such as calcium, phosphate, tannins (found in tea, coffee and chocolate) and phytates (found in grains and nuts).


Optimal Iron Chewable contains less iron than our Optimal Iron Plus cofactors to provide an option for those who do not require so much supplemental iron to meet their daily requirements. Using a special "tasteless" form of iron along with natural aromas and xylitol, this chewing option is a delicious way for those who are unable to swallow capsules to supplement their daily iron intake. As with all iron supplements, we recommend that you consult a healthcare professional to test your iron levels before use and to continue monitoring your iron level / intake during use. This supplement is mild to the stomach.
