Iron Plus C is a highly absorbable iron formula used to support and maintain body stores of iron. The Vitamin C improves the intestinal absorption of the iron. Iron is an essential mineral and it is used to make hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of the blood. Iron is also used to produce red blood cells. The body needs an adequate supply of iron to produce the number of normal red blood cells needed to maintain optimal health. Although many people in the U.S. get enough iron from their diet, some must take additional amounts to meet their needs.
