Ortho Iron contains SunActive®, a superior form of iron that has been shown to be better absorbed and much better tolerated than other iron products on the market. SunActive® contains ferric pyrophosphate, a type of iron that has been processed to reduce particle size for better absorption and is bonded to a food-grade emulsifier to prevent clumping. These two factors give it a bioavailability equal to that of pharmaceutical grade iron. Ortho Iron also contains several other nutrients that promote iron absorption and prevent the oxidative effects associated with iron supplementation. These include vitamins C, B6, B12, folate, lactoferrin and copper, all of which are essential for the absorption and use of iron.
Ortho Iron is a comprehensive formula for the treatment of anemia, which can be caused not only by iron deficiency, but also by vitamin B12 or folate deficiencies. Iron deficiency which can lead to anemia is the most common nutritional disorder worldwide; approximately 25% of the world's population suffers from iron deficiency. However, even iron deficiency states that do not result in anemia can have adverse effects on human health, including compromised cognitive function, general weakness and fatigue, and a weakened immune system.
Pregnant and menstruating women are often at risk of iron deficiency, as are adolescent girls, endurance athletes, and anyone suffering from a growth or fatigue condition or who has experienced blood loss. Ortho Iron is the most advanced iron supplement for people suffering from iron deficiency and is especially helpful for those who have experienced unpleasant side effects such as constipation or nausea caused with traditional iron pills.
AOR Ortho Iron improves symptoms of iron deficiency anemia such as fatigue and weakness, without the gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with iron supplements.
