Iron is called the "energy giver." It attracts oxygen and builds blood. Along with manganese and copper, it is necessary for healthy blood chemistry. Iron is essential for recovery from illness. Iron is stored in the blood, bone marrow, liver and spleen. Iron can be found in trace amounts in every organ.

Iron is one of the most common deficiencies in men as well as women, although women require more Iron than men because of their menstrual cycle. Without sufficient Iron, the body cannot manufacture enough new hemoglobin, the red-cell protein that transports oxygen in blood. Iron helps the body rid itself of carbon dioxide and keeps liver tissue soft.

Iron combines with other nutrients to produce vital blood proteins and is involved in food metabolism, digestion, elimination, circulation. Iron also helps maintain sufficiently high blood pressure. Vitamin C improves Iron absorption.

Some Symptoms of Iron Deficiency:

Anemia, anorexia, brittle nails, constipation, dizziness, depression, dysphasia, fatigue/lack of stamina, fragile bones, growth retardation, headaches, hair loss, unnaturally pale skin, and ice eating (pica).

Ionic* Iron (2000 ppm), Vitamin C (6.5 mg/tsp), Purified Water.

* "Most minerals [from food] are 8-12% absorbable, Chelated Minerals are 40% absorbable, and liquid... Minerals are 98% absorbable, being 7000 times smaller than Red blood cells, with negative-charge for absorption." - Joseph B. Marion; Anti-aging Manual. ("With a negative charge" means the minerals are ionic.)

Suggested Use for Iron Plus Vitamin C:
Adults: 1/2 to1 teaspoon daily. Iron is best taken in the morning hours away from other nutrients. Please allow at least 30-45 minutes between taking Iron Plus Vitamin C and any other dietary supplement.

Iron Plus Vitamin C has been known to stain the teeth when taken straight from the bottle and held in the mouth. The iron discolors the candida and other bacteria that are in the mouth. A simple dental cleaning or whitening strip will remove the discoloration. Staining can be avoided by mixing the Iron Plus Vitamin C into orange juice to dilute it.

Consult a health care professional for use with all individuals, especially those under the age of 14.
