Pure Encapsulations Iron-C Capsules
Pure Encapsulations Iron-C Capsules
Iron is one of those minerals that does a lot of quiet work in the background. Your body uses it to make hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen, so it ties directly into how you feel day to day.* The catch is that iron on its own is not always easy to absorb. Pure Encapsulations Iron-C Capsules pairs 15 mg of iron with vitamin C, a pairing meant to make the iron easier for your body to take up.*
Why iron with vitamin C
Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron from food and supplements, which is the whole reason these two are bottled together.* Instead of taking a separate iron and a separate vitamin C, you get both in one capsule. The vitamin C also contributes antioxidant activity.* If you have ever found plain iron hard on your stomach, this gentler form is worth a look, though it can still vary from person to person.
What it supports
- Helps maintain healthy red blood cell production*
- Supports everyday energy production*
- Supplies iron in a form chosen for easier absorption*
- Adds vitamin C for antioxidant support*
Iron is a key component of hemoglobin and myoglobin, and it plays a part in how your muscles store and use oxygen.* That is a normal, structural role, not a quick fix. Most people notice nothing dramatic from a supplement like this, and that is fine. It is meant to round out what you already get from food.
Who tends to reach for it
People who eat little or no red meat, are very active, or simply want to keep their iron intake steady often look for a daily iron with vitamin C.* If you are not sure whether you need extra iron, that is a good question for your clinician, since iron is one supplement you do not want to take more of than you actually need. A quick blood test can settle it.
