Additional product information

Pure Encapsulations® Iron-C combines well-bioavailable iron in the form of iron citrate with vitamin C. The carefully balanced formula supports normal red blood cell and hemoglobin formation as well as oxygen transport in the body.

Iron is an essential trace element that fulfills numerous important functions. It contributes to normal energy metabolism, to the normal function of the immune system, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

The vitamin C it contains improves iron absorption in the intestine and thereby complements the function of the trace element.

Iron – Important for blood formation and oxygen supply

Iron is a component of hemoglobin, the red blood pigment, and plays a decisive role in oxygen transport in the body.

In addition, iron is involved in numerous metabolic processes and contributes to normal cognitive function as well as to the function of the immune system.

An insufficient iron supply can cause, among other things, tiredness, fatigue, and reduced physical performance.

Vitamin C improves iron absorption

Vitamin C supports the absorption of iron in the intestine, particularly non-heme iron.

The combination of iron and vitamin C is therefore a sensible way to specifically supplement the iron supply.

Vitamin C additionally contributes to protecting cells from oxidative stress and to the normal function of the immune system.

Iron citrate – A well-bioavailable iron compound

Pure Encapsulations® Iron-C contains iron in the form of iron citrate.

This organic iron compound has good bioavailability and is suitable for specifically supplementing the daily iron supply.

Individual gastrointestinal tolerance may vary.

For whom can a supplementary iron supply be sensible?

An increased iron requirement or an insufficient supply can occur particularly in women with heavy menstrual bleeding, endurance athletes, and persons with a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Also during certain growth phases or with a one-sided diet, an adequate iron supply may require special attention.

Whether additional iron intake is necessary should be assessed based on the individual diet and, where appropriate, suitable laboratory values.

Important notes

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily consumption amount. Keep out of the reach of small children and store in a cool, dry place.

Important: Iron supplements should not be taken permanently without a corresponding need. If iron deficiency is suspected, a check of the blood count and ferritin level is recommended.

In cases of iron overload, such as hemochromatosis, iron supplements may only be used under medical supervision.

Iron can impair the absorption of certain medicines, particularly thyroid hormones and some antibiotics. Appropriate intervals between intake must be observed.
