Flora Iron + B Vitamin Complex Liquid — Energy & Blood Formation Support | 15 fl oz
Flora's liquid iron formula delivers iron alongside a complete B vitamin spectrum in a format that is both highly bioavailable and easy on digestion — directly addressing the two most common limitations of conventional iron supplements. The iron in this formula is in chelated form (ferrous bisglycinate — iron bound to two glycine molecules), which passes through the intestinal wall intact rather than being partially converted to less-absorbable forms; ferrous bisglycinate is studied to cause significantly less GI irritation and constipation than ferrous sulfate (the most common form in standard supplements). Iron is the central atom of the porphyrin ring in hemoglobin — without adequate iron, the body cannot synthesize functional hemoglobin, and red blood cells become small and pale (iron-deficiency anemia). The B vitamins in this formula play specific roles in the same process: vitamin B6 is a required cofactor for aminolevulinic acid synthase (ALAS), the rate-limiting enzyme that initiates heme biosynthesis; vitamin B12 is required in the methylation cycle for DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing red blood cell precursors (B12 deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia). B1, B3, and B5 support cellular energy metabolism that feeds these biosynthetic processes. Liquid format is absorbed faster than tablets or capsules. Gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, non-GMO. 15 fl oz.
Key Ingredients & Benefits
-
Ferrous Bisglycinate (Chelated Iron): Iron bound to glycine — absorbed intact through intestinal mucosa; significantly less GI irritation and constipation than ferrous sulfate; studied for superior absorption at lower doses
-
Iron → Heme Synthesis (Hemoglobin Formation): Iron is the central atom in the hemoglobin porphyrin ring — required for functional red blood cell production and oxygen transport; deficiency leads to iron-deficiency anemia (small, pale cells)
-
B6 (ALAS Cofactor in Heme Biosynthesis): Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) is the cofactor for aminolevulinic acid synthase — the rate-limiting enzyme that initiates heme synthesis; B6 deficiency directly impairs iron's ability to form functional hemoglobin
-
B12 (Methylation Cycle / Red Blood Cell DNA Synthesis): Methylcobalamin supports DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing red blood cell precursors — B12 deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia (large, immature cells)
-
B1, B3, B5 (Energy Metabolism): Support mitochondrial ATP production and cellular energy for the metabolic demands of blood formation
-
Liquid Format: Faster absorption than tablets or capsules — easily mixed into juice or water | Gentle, non-constipating | Gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, non-GMO
