What does Ferro-C do?

Ferro-C, provided by Douglas Laboratories, supplies significant amounts of bioavailable iron along with a synergistic combination of vitamins for optimal health.

Iron is one of the most abundant metals in the universe.

It is also one of the most useful in biochemical functions.

In the human body, iron is present in all cells and has several vital functions -- as a carrier of oxygen to the tissues from the lungs in the form of hemoglobin (Hb), as a facilitator of oxygen use and storage in the muscles as myoglobin, as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and as an integral part of enzyme reactions in various tissues.

Too little iron can interfere with these vital functions and lead to morbidity and mortality.

Who should use Ferro-C?

May play an important role in energy production, including the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.

B vitamins are also important for blood cells, hormones, and nervous system function.

Ferro-C tablets provide 27 mg of carbonyl iron that is easily absorbed.

It also contains key nutrients important for iron absorption while supporting the formation and proper function of red blood cells.

In the human body, iron is present in all cells and has several vital functions mediated through red blood cells _ as a carrier of oxygen to the tissues from the lungs in the form of hemoglobin (Hb), as a facilitator of oxygen use and storage in the muscles as myoglobin, as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and as an integral part of enzyme reactions in various tissues. Low iron can interfere with these vital functions.

Both vitamin C and E provide antioxidants to protect against oxidative damage.

The B vitamins act as coenzymes and are essential components in most major metabolic reactions, including energy metabolism.
