To get the most out of FERAPRO® iron supplements and ensure optimal iron absorption, avoid certain foods and beverages for at least 1 hour before and 2 hours after taking your iron supplement:

• Leafy green vegetables
• Tea and coffee
• Dairy products
• Eggs
• Calcium-/magnesium-containing supplements and antacids
• Fibre-rich meals

It’s essential to check with your pharmacist to determine if your iron supplement should be spaced apart from other medications to avoid interactions that could reduce absorption.

When will I feel better?

Common symptoms of iron deficiency anemia include fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, pale skin, and hair loss. With proper iron supplementation, these symptoms typically improve within 2 to 4 months. However, additional iron therapy may be required for 4 to 6 months to replenish iron stores fully.

Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to ensure the correct dosage and to monitor your progress through blood tests. This will help maintain optimal **iron levels** and prevent **iron deficiency recurrence**.

Storage and handling

Store FERAPRO® iron supplements at room temperature (15°C to 30°C), away from heat sources, moisture, and direct sunlight, to maintain product quality and effectiveness.

How FERAPRO® Ingredients Work

FERAPRO® 30 has five active ingredients, each of which serves a specific purpose in this holistic formula. This synergy makes it one of the best iron supplements for preventing iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. Its gentle formulation ensures minimal side effects, making it ideal for those with sensitive stomachs.

1. Elemental Iron (from Ferrous Fumarate) – 30mg

   FERAPRO® uses ferrous (Fe2+) iron from ferrous fumarate, the most effective form for non-heme iron absorption in the intestine. This supports the production of red blood cells and helps prevent iron deficiency anemia.

2. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – 175mg

   Vitamin C enhances iron absorption by converting iron into a bioavailable form. The enzyme ascorbate ferrireductase (DcytB) increases iron’s bioavailability by 1.5 to 10 times, maximizing absorption from each dose.

3. Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) – 1000mcg

   Methylcobalamin is the biologically active form of B12, essential for red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) and DNA synthesis. It ensures efficient oxygen delivery throughout the body, helping alleviate fatigue, brain fog, and weakness linked to iron deficiency anemia.

4. Folate (L-5-MTHF) – 80mcg

   The active form of folate, L-5-MTHF, supports red blood cell development. It is especially important for individuals with the MTHFR gene mutation, who cannot efficiently convert folic acid to its active form, preventing anemia and supporting iron utilization.

5. Glycine (Amino Acid) – 100mg

   Glycine forms a chelated complex with iron, improving tolerability without reducing absorption. This makes FERAPRO® gentle on the stomach and helps prevent side effects like constipation.

Why FERAPRO® is the Cleanest Iron Supplement in Canada

Cautions and Warnings

It is recommended to consult your healthcare provider every 6 to 12 months to monitor your iron levels through blood tests. Adjust your supplementation based on the results to ensure your iron stores are maintained within healthy levels.

General Health Canada Guidelines for Iron Supplements

The following guidelines apply to all iron supplements and must be followed regardless of which product you use:

• Do not use except under the care of a physician.
• Do not use for prolonged periods unless instructed by a physician.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 2 months.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have peptic ulcer disease, regional enteritis, or ulcerative colitis.
• May cause abdominal cramping.
• Some people may experience constipation, diarrhea, and/or vomiting.
• Discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner if you experience symptoms of iron toxicity, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hematemesis (vomiting of blood), or diarrhea.

Iron Toxicity Awareness

It is crucial to take only the recommended dose of iron, as excessive iron intake can lead to toxicity. If you suspect an overdose of iron, contact your doctor, a poison control center, or the nearest hospital emergency room immediately. Early signs of iron overdose may not appear for up to 60 minutes or more, so do not wait for symptoms to develop before seeking medical attention.
