Thorne, Ferrasorb, 60 Capsules

Ferrasorb provides iron in chelated form for optimal absorption and vitamin C to enhance iron’s absorption, plus the active forms of folate and vitamins B6 and B12 – offering comprehensive nutritional support for anemia.

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, including ferrous sulfate, can cause gastrointestinal side effects – such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and dark-colored stools. Thorne's Ferrasorb contains iron reacted with glycine to enhance its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thus helping to decrease the typical side effects of iron supplementation.

• Reduced GI side effects, such as nausea and constipation
