Iron Plus Hx®
Iron is needed in the human body to support hemoglobin, an oxygen-carrying protein found in red blood cells. Without enough iron, your body cannot carry oxygen from your lungs. According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 10 million Americans are iron deficient, including five million who have iron deficiency anemia. Adequate levels of iron in the body promote healthy red blood cell formulation, support healthy levels of hemoglobin and support proper immune system function. A superior iron supplement is especially important for vegans and vegetarians.†
The added ingredients Vitamin C, Folic acid, Taurine and Vitamin B12 in Iron Plus Hx® make this formula both highly absorbable and extremely potent. Iron Plus Hx® offers a gentle form of iron called iron bisglycinate that will not cause constipation or gastrointestinal discomfort.†

The Science Behind The Ingredients In Iron Plus Hx®
Research from Current Pediatric Reviews found supplementation with iron bisglycinate to be much more bioavailable, meaning it was absorbed much more efficiently and was more effective at supporting healthy iron levels without causing constipation. [1]
Research published in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine states that supplementing vitamin C alongside iron helped to improve absorption rates without decreasing cellular zinc levels sometimes seen among supplementation with synthetic iron sources alone. [2]
Research from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that, in seniors especially, adequate levels of vitamin B-12 were associated with support for cognitive function. Vitamin B12, folic acid and iron are closely related in regards to supporting healthy red blood cell formation, blood oxygen status and iron levels. [3]
Research published in the European Journal of Hematology found that adding Taurine to an iron supplementation program appears to increase the effectiveness of oral iron supplementation and had no adverse side effects. Markers of improvement of mental and physical fatigue were also witnessed. [4]
