Why is it added with Iron? Something to do with absorption or potency?

Iron helps to relax and increase its going into the body. People do not get enough iron on a daily basis. Thats why when women get pregnant the Dr. gives then iron during pregnancy.

Absorption. I'm 60 years old and this is the only place I can get-tryptophan and it helps me sleep every night.

You won't add iron to your diet by using a coated pan, I'm afraid. You need "barefoot" iron.

Only 5mg of Elemental IronThere is some confusion with the Ferrous Fumarate and Elemental Iron content. I emailed the manufacturer and was told"My gummies contain 15 mg of Ferrous Fumarate which equivalent to 5 mg of elemental Iron."This is important as you do not receive 15mg of Elemental Iron.

@Barry: Each 20ml packet contains water enhanced with 5mg of iron. There are no carbs in iron or water and those are the only two ingredients in this product.

Nature's Plus - Source Of Life Liquid, 30 fl oz liquid does have Iron and raised my Iron level to an abnormal level but I take only a third of a capful now and still get the benefit of less virus' and colds since using it and my Iron level is back to normal.

I'm not sure what elemental iron is. But here is what the label reads: Gentle Iron(Iron Bisglycinate) 25 MG, which equates to 139% DV (Daily Value)I tried this because it is supposed to be non-constipating, it is working very well in that regard, although I find there is a little flatulance which I attribute to this, since I have never had that particular problem before. As to how well it works, I will know after I have some blood tests next week, whether my iron level has increased. I do feel more energetic, but that may be in my mind, because I expected it.

Hi there This protein drin K is processed with alkali but no where on the bottle does it say iron...so I am assuming it has no iron in it.

The main ingredient in the FERREX-150 this dietary iron supplement is 150mg of Polychloride Iron @ 833% of Daily Value. Other ingredients are: Sodium Laurel Sulfate, Gelatin, Microcrystalline Cellulouse, Stearic Chloride,Polyethehylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Croscarmellose Sodium, Titamium Dioxide, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, FD&C Yellow # 5 Lake*, FD&C Red # 40 Lake, FD&C Red # 3 Lake, FD&C Blue # 1 Lake. Also contains * Yellow # 5 Lake (Tartrazine) as a color additive (which may cause some allergic-type reactions. (The ingredients above is copied directly from the Manufacturers box). I have been taking this supplement for the past 11 months to help control my tendency of becoming anemic, which unfortunately I have had a real problem with iron deficiencies in the past 1 1/2 years. It has proven to keep my iron levels up and where they should be (consistently verified in my very regular blood tests), without any noticeable side effects. This specific supplement was referred to me by my Nephrologist to provide my needed daily iron supplement without causing any constipation issues that many other iron supplements have a tendency to do. My current daily dosage is 2 gelcaps per day (2 at bedtime). Hopefully this helps...

I would have to say that the iron is naturally occurring as the only ingredient is Organic Hemp Protein. It doesn't list any other ingredients.

It has 100.0 mg of iron. The adult dose is 3 tablespoons daily after a meal. I mix it with orange or cranberry juice. I love it.

The product has effervescent qualities that apparently assist with better absorption. Once you add water and stir, the volume increases due to (as someone said) the release of gas. It's best to just add it to water and drink immediately. I'm really not sure that this does anything although as a marketing factor it does raise ones interest. It does increase the thermogenic effect and you may also get a little gittery so if you do purchase start with the minimum dose.

There are very few chewable vitamins PERIOD that have iron (children or adult). You will find a warning on most that because children may view them as candy, they don't include iron because it can constipate and cause other issues in children if they eat too many.

Yeah, that happened to me when I ordered it and used a spoon. That's one of the reasons I returned it. That much magnetized iron just can't be good for you. I also had stomach and intestinal upsets which disappeared after I discontinued using it. Yucky stuff!

I threw away the box & bottle - still waiting to receive the next batch my mom is sending me which should arrive next week. I did find this link on CVS's site which says 28 mgs of iron under the "ingredients" tab: http://www.cvs.com/shop/vitamins/minerals/iron/feosol-bifera-hip-pic-iron-caplets-skuid-887442

The only iron I believe it would have is what is related to the food items within the container. It doesn't mention iron specifically, but it does say Food Chelated Minerals on the container. But that doesn't mean any of those minerals are iron.

In Canada, Viviscal is marketed without iron. There is also no biotin in the formula. I think this may have to do with our stricter food and drug controls. There is a slightly lower doseage of the marine complex in these tablets as well. Our boxes in Canada say "maximum strength", not extra strength. I bought mine at Shoppers Drug Mart.

I checked the bottle and don't seen any iron listed. They have a website: www.gummyvites.com I haven't looked at the webiste, but I am sure they have more info about their products than Amazon. And really, they should make that info available on Amazon's website because you are purchasing something you are ingesting into your body. I purchased these the first time from Sam's Club and so I read what was on the package at that time. I do like them. They are easier to take than the capsules I was taking and they don't upset my stomach. Hope this helps.
