There are two types of iron — heme and non-heme, and they’re not equal. Non-heme iron comes from plants and is absorbed at a more optimal and controlled rate than heme iron. Our Iron is formulated with non-heme iron extracted from organic curry tree leaves.

Most of the iron supplements on the market are made with heme iron that’s extracted from animal products. In addition to being inappropriate for people following a plant-based lifestyle, heme iron is absorbed faster and may cause unhealthy iron level spikes.

Plant-based iron is gentle on the digestive system and less likely to cause constipation or other discomfort typically caused by iron supplements. With our formula, you can get the iron you need without blocking up your digestive system or other unpleasant side effects.

A lot of iron supplements feel like they’re depositing 10 pounds of iron into your stomach with the way they cause constipation and block up your digestive system. Many people have to take additional remedies to counteract the negative side effects of standard iron supplements.

You need the right amount of iron. Not too much, and not too little. Our Iron supplement provides a conservative 18 mg of plant-based iron per serving. It’s the same type of iron you get from plant-based food, and it's more efficiently used by your body, and less likely to cause iron toxicity.

Iron toxicity is a real danger when taking iron supplements, especially animal- or mineral-sourced iron. Such formulas are concentrated and absorbed much more aggressively by your body. They can result in uneven spikes in your iron levels or even iron overload.
