+ Mid‑range price point for iron supplements. + Full dose transparency – each active listed individually. + Vitamin C (40 mg) aids non‑heme iron absorption, a known synergistic pairing. + Includes acerola extract and copper citrate, ingredients found in few peers.
- Iron and copper compete for intestinal uptake, which may reduce copper absorption. - Vitamin C can also bind copper, potentially lowering copper status if taken together.
This iron complex stands out by combining ferrous bisglycinate with vitamin C and the uncommon acerola extract, offering a gentle, well‑absorbed iron source while remaining vegan. The formulation discloses all active amounts and adds copper citrate, a rarity among similar products. While the vitamin C‑iron synergy supports absorption, the simultaneous presence of copper introduces a modest interaction risk, so spacing iron and copper intake by a couple of hours is advisable. The product sits in the mid‑range of its category.
