Iron with Cofactors is intended for those seeking to support optimal iron utilization in a well-tolerated, well-absorbed iron as Ferrochel&#xAE; Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate. Unlike many standalone iron supplements,Iron with Cofactors includes important cofactors for optimal iron utilization: vitamin A, vitamin C, copper, biotin and riboflavin. The iron in this product is gentle on the stomach.&#x2020;<ul id="isPasted"><li style="font-size: 16px;">Gentle iron complex supports optimal absorption</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Well-tolerated form of iron; Easy on the stomach</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Cofactor nutrients support healthy iron metabolism and utilization</li></ul><h4 id="isPasted">Iron can be a difficult mineral to absorb.</h4>For this reason, it is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the world.&#x2020;Many people are deficient in the specific nutrients required for iron to be absorbed and utilized. This is why standalone iron supplementation may not be effective at rebuilding or sustaining healthy iron levels.&#x2020;Iron with Cofactors provides a well-tolerated form of iron along with targeted nutrients that help to absorb and utilize the iron.&#x2020;Iron with cofactors is an ideal choice for individuals with stubborn low iron levels. It contains 29 mg of elemental iron per capsule serving as Ferrochel&#xAE; Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate. This form of iron is gentle on the stomach and well-tolerated by those sensitive to iron supplementation.&#x2020;Iron supplements frequently cause side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, or constipation. This can be due to the form of iron or poor iron metabolism.&#x2020;Iron with Cofactors&#xA0;is designed for those who need effective iron support, but are sensitive to most iron supplements. This gentle iron complex contains targeted nutrients that facilitate the absorption of iron.&#x2020;Many people struggle to absorb iron from whole foods and supplements. Iron requires supporting cofactor nutrients for its efficient absorption, transport, and utilization in the body. Low levels of these make it challenging to increase iron levels even with supplementation.&#x2020;Unlike many standalone iron supplements, Iron with Cofactors includes these essential cofactors: <a href="https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/vitamin-a-drops-600-servings">vitamin A</a>, <a href="https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/optimal-liposomal-vitamin-c-30-servings">vitamin C</a>, copper, biotin, and <a href="https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/riboflavin-60-capsules">riboflavin</a>.

What is the purpose and source of each ingredient in Iron with Cofactors?

Hi Bridget -. Iron is pro-inflammatory so I would not work on increasing iron levels in an inflamed state. To help support healthy inflammation, consider:. Work on this for a few weeks. Then, once you are feeling better, then add in the Optimal Iron

<table style="width: 100%;" class="fr-alternate-rows"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Question </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Answer </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi! I have low ferritin (3) and have pyyrole. Is Optimal Iron okay/safe to take if you have pyyrole? My copper levels are normal/high, with zinc around 75. I also have high APOB levels and not sure what to do. I have a slow COMT, slow MTHFR, fast SOD, slow GPX/GPT and slow NOS3. I am really inflamed right now and unsure how to reduce the inflammation without causing anxiety type feelings. Thanks </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Bridget -Iron is pro-inflammatory so I would not work on increasing iron levels in an inflamed state.To help support healthy inflammation, consider:<ul><li style="font-size: 12px;">Glutathione Plus Lozenge: 1/2 to 1 lozenge upon waking and another 1/2 midday</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Optimal Electrolyte: 1 serving upon waking and another serving midday</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Joint Nutrients: 1 capsule upon waking and another capsule before bed to support healthy inflammation.*</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">CoQ10: 1 capsule after breakfast</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Fish Oil: 2 capsules after dinner to support healthy APOB levels.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">ProBiota HistaminX: 1 capsule after dinner</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">use a 100% gluten-free and cow dairy-free diet for 2 weeks to see how you feel.</li></ul>Work on this for a few weeks. Then, once you are feeling better, then add in the Optimal Iron after dinner.These nutrients are not going to increase anxiety. I chose them specifically to support your healthy APOB and inflammation.*In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hello! I was wondering if you recommend one iron formula over the other for pregnancy? Specifically trying to raise hemoglobin and ferritin levels in last trimester of pregnancy. Currently 29 weeks, hemoglobin is 11.5 and ferritin is 17. Thank you! </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Brigid -Congratulations on your pregnancy! :)I like the Optimal Iron as it&apos;s higher amounts of iron and has the cofactors for supporting healthy absorption.*If you&apos;re already taking the vitamin A, C, zinc and the other nutrients found in Optimal Iron, then use the Iron Chewable and take 2-3 chewables a day. They are quite small, taste great and use a high quality iron.In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">I have all the signs of low iron with the biggest concern being my hair coming out drastically. **My ferritin is very low at 5 and hemoglobin is at 11. I also have Hashimoto&#x2019;s thyroiditis. I do eat very healthy and cook from scratch- organic whole foods. I eat meat, beans, eggs, nuts, veggies, fruits, no junk or PUFAs. **What could be some reasons why my iron is so drastically low? And how can I overcome this? My doctor prescribed 324mg (that seems like a lot!) of ferrous sulf, but it kills my stomach. </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Kyra -Ferrous sulfate can be hard on the stomach for some. It may also lead to constipation.Ferrous glycinate is more bioavailable (2.5 - 3.4x more) than ferrous sulfate which is why you don&apos;t need as much. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18499399/" style=" text-decoration: none;">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18499399/</a>Common reasons for low iron in the presence of a diet containing meat include:<ul><li style="font-size: 12px;">Low stomach acid. You need stomach acid to digest meat and liberate nutrients like iron.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">B12 deficiency. You need B12 for iron absorption.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Vitamin C deficiency. You need vitamin C for iron absorption.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Low copper. Copper converts iron from its ferric form to its ferrous form before it can be used.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Too much copper and too little molybdenum.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Too much copper and too little manganese.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">High oxalates. Oxalates can bind to iron and make it unavailable.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Parasites.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Other gut disorders such as celiac disease.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Bleeding in the gut, but you would generally experience stools that are closer to a black colour in this case.</li></ul>As you can see there can be a variety of reasons for unexplained low iron.You may need to work with a healthcare practitioner who can help you figure this out so you&apos;re not so reliant on supplements.In the meantime do the following:<ul><li style="font-size: 12px;">Don&apos;t drink tea or consume high-phytate foods (beans, legumes, seeds, nuts) with iron-containing food such as meat. Phytates interfere with iron absorption.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Have some apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in a small amount of water before meals to stimulate digestive juices.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Check the colour of your stools and make sure they are not black or contain fresh blood.</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">Don&apos;t drink green smoothies containing lots of spinach. Spinach is high oxalate.</li></ul>All the best :) Elizma Lambert (ElizmaLambert.com) </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">My doctor suggested using this product for low levels of ferritin (19) Upon using the product, it makes me nauseous and irritates my stomach and I can&apos;t tolerate taking this. I need to increase my iron levels, is there additional support that would help relieve these symptoms? I am taking SH B vitamins, Vit C, and Optimal Electrolytes (excellent new formula!). Thank you for fabulous products and research! </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Samifer -The key is to use Optimal Iron AFTER eating a meal.I recommend taking the Optimal Iron after dinner or your largest meal of the day.That should resolve the issue.If you&apos;re already doing that, then I recommend considering Gut Nutrients and taking 3 to 5 capsules before bed to support a healthy gut lining.*In health, Dr. LynchPS - glad you love the electrolytes! the new ones are epic! I just finished a tall glass of Orange. ;) </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">My daughter has heavy menstrual bleeding caused by a polyp in her uterus. Would Optimal Iron be a good product for her to elevate her iron level? Thanks! </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Dawn -A couple things here.Consider having her health professional test her estrogen levels.It may be a fibroid and not a polyp.Fibroids are associated with high estrogen.Optimal Iron is a great iron supportive supplement.* She would take 1 capsule with dinner. She may also need to take another capsule with lunch.If her estrogen levels are determined to be high, then she needs to support healthy estrogen levels.Support healthy estrogen levels by taking DIM+I3C after dinner.In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">I am 10weeks in my pregnancy, and I am taking Optimal Prenatal daily. I&apos;m aware that iron cannot be taken at the same time with the Prenatals, but when i take Iron separately in the morning with food, it gives me upset stomach. Is there any reason why to this, and is there something I should look into that contributes to this symptoms? </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Sue -Take the Optimal Iron in the afternoon with your lunch. That will be enough time between.In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">My 15yo daughter was just diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia with iron levels &#x201C;very low&#x201D; at 14. Why am I seeing different normal ranges on the internet? What&#x2019;s very low for a menstruating 15 year old? I don&#x2019;t want to question her doctor but I&#x2019;d love your second opinion. I ordered your Optimal Iron for her even though her doc recommended a higher dose. I&#x2019;ll give 2x daily. Thanks! </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Keri -I&apos;m stepping in for Dr. Lynch to help answer the influx of questions we&apos;re receiving.I&apos;m not sure if the level of 14 is referring to serum iron or ferritin levels. For ferritin 14 is extremely low. For serum iron, it is low or low-normal at the least.Make sure both her serum iron and ferritin levels are tested. The ratio between the two readings can make all the difference in how you address this.When it comes to iron it&apos;s often the form of iron, and not the dose, that makes all the difference.High-dose iron supplements (typically iron sulfate) that are not well absorbed can cause constipation. Iron bisglycinate (the form of iron in Optimal Iron) is well absorbed and typically does not cause constipation.You can give your daughter 2 capsules a day for a few weeks to a month and then revert to 1 capsule per day.I suggest you get her tested after 3 months of iron supplementation. You do not want to take iron indefinitely without a good reason.Regards, Elizma Lambert (Naturopath) </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">I see there is copper in this formula, I also take a zinc complex that includes 2mg of copper gluconate. I want to make sure that&#x2019;s fine? </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Nicole -It&apos;s wise to check how many minerals you&apos;re getting across the board.Yes, it is ok to take as long as your copper levels are not elevated.The upper daily limit of copper for ages 19 and up is 10 mg.This combination of Optimal Iron plus your zinc/copper supplement is 2.5 mg so you&apos;re good.In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">I am 8 months out from having major back surgery where I lost a lot of blood. I requested a ferritin blood test because I have been feeling terrible and it came back at a 16. The Doc only tested my hemoglobin and hematocrit and they both came back in the &quot;normal&quot; range. My question is what would be considered a therapeutic dose of Optimal Iron to get me back on track quickly and safely. Thank you for all you do!! </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Michelle -I cannot give a dosage recommendation as that is treatment but I can suggest that you follow the suggested use of 1 capsule a day and possibly 2 capsules a day - one capsule with breakfast and one with lunch. By taking it separately like this, you&apos;re supporting healthy absorption without increasing risk of constipation.Always take it with food.If you can, I also recommend eating some grass fed liver from a cow.In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">My son has hereditary Hemochromatosis. He also has the MTHFR mutation. Would the Hemochromatosis alter the supplement recommendation for MTHFR or should he take all the same ones as someone with normal iron function? </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Sarah -If your son has hemochromatosis, one has to be careful with how much iron he is consuming.Check his serum ferritin, total iron binding content and MCV and MCH.This has nothing to do if he has MTHFR or not.It will be very easy for him to get too much iron so I&apos;d focus on making sure he gets enough iron in his diet through red meat.He can also use Kids Multivitamin Chewable and take 1-2 chewables with a protein based breakfast to support his overall nutrition.In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Would this optimal iron supplement or the iron chew be better for someone with endometriosis and a low iron ferritin level? </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Traci -I recommend the Optimal Iron capsules. Take with food - likely dinner is best.For endometriosis, that is typically associated with high estrogen levels.Consider supporting healthy estrogen levels by taking:*<ul><li style="font-size: 12px;">1 capsule of DIM+I3C after dinner</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">2 capsules of Gallbladder Nutrients before dinner</li><li style="font-size: 12px;">1 capsule of ProBiota HistaminX after dinner to support a healthy microbiome as well</li></ul>In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Is this okay to take alongside Optimal Prenatal MF? Or would that be too high in copper, A, and other cofactors? </td><td style="width: 50.0000%;">Hi Kayla -Great question.It is designed to be used in conjunction with any of our prenatal vitamins. I designed it this way - so it&apos;s ok to use.At the moment though, we are out of stock on it.We do have the Iron Chewable on hand.You will likely need 2 chewables and take with dinner: <a href="https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/iron-chewable" style=" text-decoration: none;">https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/iron-chewable</a>In health, Dr. Lynch </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 50.0000%;">What is a comparable substitute for Iron with Cofactor?
