Helps to Form Red Blood Cells and Helps Their Proper Function! About Carbonyl Iron: Carbonyl Iron powder is metallic iron (Fe) with a high (> 98%) iron content. It is not a salt.
It absorbs at 69%, compared to only 10 to 15% with most other forms of iron.
The high iron content and high absorption rate result in a lower dose per capsule, achieving the same or better daily intake levels, compared to ferrous (Fe2+) salts (e.g., ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate, or ferrous gluconate),
while at the same time and most importantly, side effects like constipation and gastrointestinal discomfort and pain are avoided.
In addition to the high iron content, a key physical property of Carbonyl Iron is its fine spherical particle size and porosity with huge surface area, both resulting in higher human bioavailability than other iron forms.
Carbonyl Iron is far less toxic than soluble iron salts, it causes fewer side effects.
With its low dose level, excellent bioavailability, and low toxicity, Carbonyl Iron is a better choice for iron supplementation.
