FAQ
- What does iron do in the body?
Iron is an essential mineral that helps produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. It also supports normal energy metabolism, muscle function, cognitive health, and numerous enzyme systems involved in healthy cellular function. - How does iron support energy production?
Iron supports energy production by helping transport oxygen to cells, where it is used to produce ATP, the body's primary source of cellular energy. Iron also serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in normal energy metabolism, helping cells efficiently convert nutrients into usable energy. - Should iron citrate be taken with or without food?
Iron citrate may be taken with or without food, following the directions on the product label. While iron is often absorbed best on an empty stomach, taking it with food may help improve tolerability for some individuals. - How can I support iron absorption?
Vitamin C can help support iron absorption by converting iron into a form that is more readily absorbed in the digestive tract. For best results, consider taking iron with a source of vitamin C and avoid consuming calcium supplements, dairy products, tea, or coffee at the same time, as these may reduce iron absorption. - Is Swanson Iron Citrate suitable for special diets?
Yes. Swanson Iron Citrate is suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles, is made with non-GMO ingredients, and is formulated without gluten or dairy. Its simple formula makes it a great choice for a variety of dietary preferences.
