  Ingredient research · Iron

  Iron is an essential mineral needed to make hemoglobin and carry oxygen throughout the body. Supplementation can reliably prevent or correct iron-deficiency anemia, helping restore energy, exercise capacity, and cognitive function when low iron is the cause; it is also commonly used when requirements rise, such as during pregnancy.

  • Supports hemoglobin and iron stores in menstruating women, especially when iron status is low.
  • Supports reduced subjective fatigue in iron-deficient adults without anemia.
  • Supports selected maximal and submaximal exercise-performance measures in women of reproductive age, particularly those who are iron-deficient or trained.
  • Supports selected attention and concentration outcomes in older children and women.
