The Iron Your
Body Prefers

Heme iron is the same form your body uses naturally — bound inside a porphyrin ring. It absorbs through dedicated heme-iron receptors at up to 35%, compared to 1–10% for ferrous sulfate, fumarate, or gluconate.

No. The porphyrin ring is self-regulating — your body absorbs only what it needs and the rest passes safely through. This is the opposite of free-iron supplements, where unabsorbed iron is stored in the liver, joints, and pancreas.

No. Because the iron is shielded by the porphyrin ring until absorption, there's no free iron irritating the stomach or intestines. Take it with food, on an empty stomach, or with coffee — absorption is unchanged.

Yes. Unlike non-heme iron, heme iron absorption is unaffected by coffee, tea, dairy, whole grains, leafy greens, or calcium supplements.

No — heme iron doesn't require Vitamin C for absorption. We include Vitamin C & Folic Acid in our softgels for general wellness support, not for absorption enhancement.

Each softgel contains 4.5mg of elemental iron as heme iron polypeptide. This is intentionally low — because of the high absorption rate, this clinically delivers the equivalent of a much larger non-heme dose without the side effects.
