Who is Iron Chewable intended for and how to use.Updated a day ago

Iron Chewable is intended for those seeking iron support from a well-tolerated, well-absorbed iron as ferric glycinate, along with vitamin C to support optimal iron absorption. 

  • Delicious and gentle form of iron
  • Healthy energy production
  • Supports oxygen transportation and healthy blood cells

  • Iron is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the U.S. and the world.

    This is because iron can be a difficult mineral for people to absorb.

    Many people require iron supplementation to maintain healthy iron levels. However, several types of iron supplements can cause side effects such as stomach upset or constipation.

    Iron Chewable is a well-tolerated and delicious chewable iron with added vitamin C to support iron absorption.

    Iron Chewable provides 10 mg (56% Daily Value) per chewable tablet. This lower dose allows for easy dose customization. The ferric glycinate form of iron is gentle on the stomach, taste-free, and well-tolerated by those sensitive to iron dietary supplements.

    Fatigue, lightheadedness, and cold hands and feet are all signs of iron deficiency anemia. This is because iron is critical for delivering oxygen to cells. 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. Iron is also used to make myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen for muscles. This oxygen helps to generate energy in every cell of your body.

    Iron plays key roles in:

    • Normal energy production
    • Hormone synthesis
    • Healthy metabolism
    • Supporting muscle function
    • Healthy immune system function
    • Enzymatic reactions by serving as a cofactor nutrient
  • Unlike many standalone iron supplements, Iron Chewable includes vitamin C. This antioxidant is an important cofactor for the efficient absorption of iron.

    Iron Chewable features a special "taste-free" form of iron (as ferric glycinate). The easy-to-chew, cherry-flavored tablets are sweetened with natural flavors and xylitol only. This chewable option is a great-tasting way to get your daily iron. It’s also ideal for those who are not able to swallow capsules. People love that it is gentle on the stomach.

    Iron Chewable, is gluten-free and free from GMO markers. It provides a smaller serving of iron for easy dose customization. It is the ideal choice if you are looking for a simple, gentle, and delicious way to get your daily iron.

This formula is perfect for those who prefer chewable vitamins. These unique chewable iron tablets feature a special "taste-free" form of iron along with natural flavors and xylitol. It is a delicious way to take your daily iron if you are not able to swallow capsules. This supplement is gentle on the stomach.†
