Superior Absorption & Gastric Tolerability
If you're often tired, weak, sick, or feel as though you're having trouble with proper brain function, there could be a possibility you are iron deficient. It's estimated that nearly 25% of the world's population may have some form of iron deficiency.
Part of AOR's Advanced Series, the type of iron found in Ortho-Iron is called SunActive FeTM, a registered form made from very small ferric pyrophosphate particles (average size 0.3 micron) coated with a mixture of emulsifiers (dextrin, surfactants, and lecithin), that's been shown in studies to be more bioavailable than other common forms (providing enhanced cellular uptake, intestinal transport efficacy, and bioavailability).
Lactoferrin - a 'portmanteau' name for the combination of lacto (milk) and ferrin (iron), is an iron-binding milk protein, which helps balance iron levels in the body.
