User questions & answers

Question:	This has a very pungent smell. Most similar i can think of is vingear. Is this normal
Answer:	Our most recent order also had the pungent smell of vinegar. I contacted the company directly and reported the lot #. The odor is Not normal! Return them. We've used these tabs for years with no problem.
Question:	Is this vegan/vegetarian friendly/non Heme
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in Nature's Bounty products! The Iron 65mg is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This iron comes from mined mineral, not from animal protein, so it is non-heme.
Question:	The bottle says this product is laboratory tested. Is it tested on animals
Answer:	This isn't a definite answer but, given the extremely long history of iron supplementation via ferrous sulfate, it's very unlikely they company would go to the expense of animal testing for this specific product even if they don't disavow it entirely (and I should say I have no reason to think or believe they test any of their products on animals.) It almost surely means they test the actual material they use rather than simply relying on the "general fact" of well-known chemistry that 325 mg of ferrous sulfate contains 65 mg of elemental iron.
Question:	Are these small pills or large
Answer:	Small

Question:	Can I take my dose at night
Answer:	Yes, you can take it at night. This Iron tablet was recommended by my husbands sleep apnea doctor. He needed to increase his iron from 35 to 75 to help decrease his restless leg issues at night. He took 2 pills a day - one in the morning and one in the evening. He did this for 4 months. When tested he was at 75! He is now on 1 pill a day on Mon., Wed., and Friday only. We hope this will maintain him at the level he needs to be at. Hope this helps you.

• Vital for red blood cell formation
• Adults, for iron deficiency take 1 tablet daily with water and a meal.
• These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between these products
Answer:	There is no difference in this product and other name brands of Iron vitamins, because the FDA requires the same amount of ingredients in each pills
Question:	Is it vegetarian? (i.e. does it contain any animal product
Answer:	The brand themselves (naturemade) have confirmed that their iron supplement is vegan and contains no animal products.
Question:	Are these tablets coated
Answer:	I have not opened the new bottle new so sorry i can not give you an exact answer. However, you can contact nature made directly at 800-276-2878. Hope this helps you and best of luck...
Question:	Why does this product contain 65mg of iron, when the maximum safe dose is 45mg per day?? Am I missing something here
Answer:	Tolerable Upper Intake levels are set at 45mg for the max dose the average individual can take without getting any side effects, such as gas, bloating, constipation, or nausea. The average individual in these studies are not women with heavy periods, pregnant, anemic, people with cancer, blood donors, or iron deficient in any way. The 45mg number is created for those who have normal iron levels but don't consume enough in their diet to maintain better/preferred iron levels. Keep in mind if you ever take your iron supplement with food, you are going to reduce absorption. Iron from non-animal sources, such as blackstrap molasses and plant based supplements, must be taken with lemon and lots of water because it is water soluble. Also, if you get enough iron in your diet and took a 7mg iron supplement, it would be considered toxic and unsafe. So always talk to your doctor about the supplements you're taking, especially multivitamins that may have something you don't need.

Small changes in product size & weight lead to lower carbon emissions.

We created Compact by Design to identify products that, while they may not always look very different, have a more efficient design. With the removal of excess air and water, products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight lead to significant carbon emission reductions.

Adequate oxygen levels are crucial for good health, and sufficient iron intake helps ensure that you’re getting the oxygen you need.

Iron is a critical component of hemoglobin and myoglobin, proteins of red blood cells and muscle cells respectively.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is the iron sourced from
Answer:	The iron in our multivitamins comes in the form of Ferrous Fumarate which is the type of iron most doctors around the world recommend. Naturelo Customer Care
Question:	Why does the description say this iron is ferrous bisglycinate chelate, yet in the answers the seller says it is fumarate iron? which is it
Answer:	Hello there. You may check the nutritional facts and ingredients using the link below: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZN3WGJL/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza Please let me know if you have any questions.
Question:	How big are the capsules
Answer:	We use Size 1 capsules, which are smaller than regular capsules. They are 0.76 inches long by 0.27 inches wide (19 x 6.6 millimeters). Most people find that they go down quite easily with a big gulp of water. However, if you have trouble swallowing, you can easily open the capsule and sprinkle the powder onto your food or drink. Mixing the powder with a thick liquid such as yogurt, applesauce, or a smoothie works best.
Question:	The contents of the capsules I received have an irregular look with lighter-colored and darker-colored ingredients. Is this normal
Answer:	The lighter part is the vitamin C. The darker part is the iron powder.

User questions & answers

Question:	are these large or small like regular iron pills
Answer:	The Iron Bisglycinate is a small capsule measuring .709 inches in length.
Question:	How much "elemental iron" does each serving have
Answer:	Thorne Research lists the elemental amounts on their labels. In this case, 25 mg of elemental iron.
Question:	Does this turn your stools dark
Answer:	Conventional iron supplementation, including iron forms such as ferrous sulfate, can cause gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and dark-colored stools. This is because these conventional forms of iron are poorly absorbed by the body. However, Thorne Research's Iron Bisglycinate provides 25 mg of elemental iron per capsule that has been reacted with glycine for optimal absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thus eliminating the typical gastrointestinal side effects. Although Iron Bisglycinate does result in fewer GI side effects, it can cause natural but harmless darkening of the stool.
Question:	Whats the difference between this and ferrasorb? Why would you need both
Answer:	The Ferrasorb product from Thorne has additional vitamin C and B's. I use a multivitamin so I do not need the added vitamins. The Iron Bisglycinate from Thorne works well for me.

We want the best when it comes to our food - clean, organic, and non-GMO. Why would we want anything different for our vitamins and supplements?

We are fanatical about food. We’re different that way. Whether we’re making a vitamin, or a probiotic, or a protein powder, we always start with real foods and these (foods) provide our formulas the power to be their best. We’re different that way, too. The synthetically created, chemical “breakthroughs” from huge commercial laboratories around the world are not for us.

As fanatical as we are over what goes into our products, we are even more obsessed about the things we keep out of them. We hate those synthetic chemicals that most companies use to make their products. This stuff makes machines work faster, and helps factories churn out super-sized containers at higher “efficiency.” Well, while the other guys spend their time preoccupied with their efficiency, we’re uncompromising about your health. Slow it down, make it by hand, grow it in rich organic non-GMO soil with enough sun, air, water and time for it to be its best. Harvest it when ready. Treat it with care. Turn it into a power-packed nutritious food supplement. That’s what we are about.

The Science of Whole Food

Your body was created to eat, process, and derive its nutrition from food—real, healthy food. So, when we create our products, we start by looking at food. What is the “good stuff” in the highest quality food that we are missing in our diets? Which of those foods have the greatest potential to impact—and empower—extraordinary health?

Clean is healthy

We start with what goes IN our products—true, whole food ingredients. But we don’t stop there. We also pay very close attention to what we keep OUT of them. And once again, we look at food—real nutrition food. When is the last time you picked up an apple, turned to read the ingredients, and saw a list of chemicals? If it’s not in your food, then we don’t want it in our supplements.

Traceability

Traceability is key to what makes Garden of Life’s products so special. Traceability starts with knowing where each and every ingredient in our products comes from and getting to know each and every source: where it’s grown; the farming practices; how they pay and treat the farm workers—everything. That’s why it’s so important to start with Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified fruits and vegetables that are grown without these chemicals. We want to get the good stuff from foods that are grown without any of the bad stuff.
