OptiFerin-c (Pure Encapsulations)
OptiFerin-c – Iron is an important component of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to tissues throughout the body. It is also a part of myoglobin, a protein that helps muscle cells store oxygen, and ferritin, the body’s main iron storage protein found in the intestines, liver and spleen. Iron bound to ferritin is readily mobilized to meet the body’s demands. Ferrochel® brand iron bis-glycinate was developed using unique patented chemistry.
Suggested Use: 1-3 capsules per day, in divided doses, with meals.

Supports Red Blood Cells, Hemoglobin, Myoglobin and Ferritin: In a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, iron supplementation supported healthy ferritin levels and enhanced energy and well-being in female subjects. A recent report emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy serum ferritin for optimal performance in elite female athletes. In another randomized trial, iron supplementation or a high iron diet supported mental health and moderated fatigue in women of childbearing age. Ester-C® mineral ascorbate is added to enhance intestinal absorption of iron. Ester-C® is a natural, water-soluble form of vitamin C that is distinguished by its unique chemical composition and biological activity. It is manufactured in an exclusive, water-based process that results in a mixture of naturally occurring vitamin C metabolites, including ascorbate, dehydroascorbate, and threonate. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron and the formation of red blood cells. Research indicates that vitamin C supports healthy hemoglobin levels.
