Product Details
- Capsule form of blackstrap molasses
- High-concentration iron for energy support
- Plays a vital role in oxygen delivery throughout the body
Blackstrap molasses has been valued for generations as a naturally nutrient-rich food. Produced during the final stage of sugar cane processing, it contains concentrated levels of naturally occurring iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other essential minerals.
Iron helps transport oxygen throughout the body as part of healthy red blood cells. Adequate iron intake supports energy metabolism, cognitive function, immune health, and normal oxygen delivery to tissues. The other naturally occurring minerals in blackstrap molasses—calcium, magnesium, and potassium—support many vital functions including bone health, muscle performance, and overall wellness.
Easy-to-swallow Swanson Blackstrap Molasses capsules make it simple to enjoy the traditional nutritional benefits of blackstrap molasses—without the strong taste or sticky syrup.

FAQ
- Why is it called "blackstrap" molasses?
Blackstrap molasses gets its name from its dark color and thick, robust consistency, which develop during the third and final boiling of sugar cane juice. This final stage concentrates the syrup's naturally occurring minerals while reducing its sugar content compared with lighter varieties of molasses, resulting in its characteristic deep color, bold flavor, and nutrient-rich profile. - What are the benefits of blackstrap molasses?
Blackstrap molasses provides naturally occurring iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other essential minerals that support energy metabolism, red blood cell production, and overall wellness. It has been used as a traditional whole-food source of nutrition for generations. - What makes blackstrap molasses a natural source of iron?
Iron occurs naturally in sugar cane and becomes more concentrated as molasses is produced. Blackstrap molasses retains this naturally occurring iron, making it a traditional dietary source of the mineral that supports normal red blood cell production and oxygen transport. - Is Swanson Blackstrap Molasses suitable for special diets?
Swanson Blackstrap Molasses is formulated without gluten or dairy. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because the capsule contains gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient. This product is not made with non-GMO ingredients.
