Ingredients explained
Iron (as Ferrochel bis-glycinate chelate)
Iron supports hemoglobin and myoglobin formation and helps transport oxygen by serving as a key component of red blood cells and enzymes.
Caution: Take only as directed since excess iron may cause gastrointestinal upset and is unsafe for children if accidentally ingested.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C can reduce ferric iron to ferrous form in the gut, which may enhance non-heme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach discomfort in some people; taking with food can help tolerance.
Folate (folic acid)
Folate supports red blood cell formation by donating one-carbon units needed for DNA synthesis.
Caution: High intakes may mask vitamin B12 insufficiency; follow label directions.
Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 supports normal red blood cell development and helps convert homocysteine through methylation pathways.
Caution: Those with low stomach acid or vegan diets may have absorption challenges; consistent daily intake can help meet needs.
How they work together
Iron provides the core mineral for oxygen-carrying proteins, while vitamin C may enhance its uptake in the intestines. Folate and vitamin B12 support healthy red blood cell formation and maturation, complementing iron’s role in oxygen transport.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use. Adults only; do not exceed the recommended dose. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products may be fatal in children under 6; seek immediate medical help if overdose occurs.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate iron from these by at least 2 hours to reduce absorption issues. Those with a history of iron overload or gastrointestinal sensitivity may consider medical guidance. If combining with medications that may interact with iron, consult a healthcare provider before use.

Overview
- Albion Minerals
- Gentle On the Stomach
- Dietary Supplement
- Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans
Iron is particularly important to vegans. While iron can be obtained from plant foods, it is not as efficiently absorbed by the body as iron from animal sources. Vegan True® Iron Support™ contains ferrous bisglycinate chelate, which research suggests may be more bioavailable than other forms of iron such as ferrous sulfate. Studies show that ferrous bisglycinate chelate helps increase and maintain blood levels of iron, while being gentle to the stomach and intestines. Folic acid and vitamin B-12 have been included for additional support, along with ascorbic acid, which helps increase the absorbability of iron. Vegan True Iron Support does not contain any animal products or animal- derived ingredients.
