Iron is needed to make hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. This supplement is intended for people whose dietary intake or healthcare plan calls for additional iron.
Product details
Product and pack: Nature's Bounty Gentle Iron 28 mg, 90 Capsules.
Category: Iron dietary supplement.
Choosing this formula
Compare elemental iron rather than the weight of the iron compound. Gentle Iron is listed at 28 mg; ferrous sulfate 325 mg is a different preparation and should not be treated as 325 mg of elemental iron.
How to use
Follow the supplied product's directions or your clinician's iron plan. Ask your pharmacist about separating iron from calcium, levothyroxine, and medicines that may interact.
Before use
Iron can cause nausea, constipation, and dark stools. Do not self-treat unexplained fatigue or anemia without evaluation. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is especially dangerous for children; keep the bottle securely out of their reach. Ask a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or when managing a medical condition.
Are Gentle Iron and ferrous sulfate interchangeable?
They differ in iron form and elemental amount. Compare the Supplement Facts or Drug Facts panel and ask your clinician before switching an established iron regimen.
Check the supplied bottle for its complete ingredients, serving size, storage conditions, and expiry date. Keep supplements out of children's reach. Read more about this nutrient from NIH.
