Blood Supplement 200 Capsules (Herbal Iron)

Blood is our herbal iron formula: six organic or wildcrafted plants in a vegetable capsule, with iron that comes from the plants themselves rather than from an added inorganic salt. Each 6 capsule serving delivers 1.7 mg of iron, 10 percent of the daily value, which works out to 0.28 mg per capsule. Each tube holds 200 capsules, about a 33 day supply at 6 a day.

A good source of iron, which supports red blood cell formation and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue*

What is inside

Six plants, 300 mg of each per serving, 50 mg of each per capsule: nettle leaf (Urtica dioica), dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale), burdock root (Arctium lappa), blessed thistle whole plant (Cnicus benedictus), quassia branch (Quassia amara) and palo guaco stem (Mikania glomerata).

Nothing else but the vegetable cellulose capsule. No fillers, no additives, no flow agents, no iron salts added on top.

Why plant iron instead of an iron tablet

Most iron supplements use ferrous sulfate or a similar inorganic salt at a high dose, which is why they are known for being hard on the stomach. This is a different approach: a modest amount of iron occurring naturally in six whole plants, taken across the day rather than in one hit. It delivers 10 percent of the daily value, not 100. If you have been told you need a therapeutic dose of iron, this is not that product and your doctor's recommendation should win.

Quality and sourcing

Organic or wildcrafted depending on the harvest. Third party tested for identity, microbials and heavy metals. Produced in a GMP certified facility and made in the USA. Vegan capsules, vegetable cellulose, no gelatin.

Frequently asked questions

How much iron is in each serving?
1.7 mg per 6 capsule serving, which is 10 percent of the daily value and meets the FDA definition of a good source of iron. That works out to 0.28 mg per capsule. The full panel is on this page.

Is this the same as an iron tablet from the pharmacy?
No. Pharmacy iron tablets typically use ferrous sulfate at a much higher dose. This is a modest amount of iron occurring naturally within six whole plants. If you are managing a diagnosed deficiency, follow your doctor's guidance rather than swapping to this.

How long does a tube last?
About 33 days at the directed 6 capsules a day. There are roughly 33 servings in a 200 capsule tube.

What is palo guaco?
Mikania glomerata, a climbing plant from Brazil where it is a long standing part of the herbal tradition. It is one of the six plants in this blend. Please read the precaution below about it if you take a blood thinner.

Which of your products has the most iron?
Not this one. Our sea moss capsules carry 4 mg of iron per serving, 24 percent of the daily value, which makes them an excellent source and the highest in our range. Plant Power has 2.5 mg and shares nettle and dandelion with this formula, and our sea moss and bladderwrack capsules have 2 mg alongside iodine. If iron alone is what you are after, the sea moss capsules give you the most of it.

Precautions

This blend contains palo guaco (Mikania glomerata), which naturally contains coumarin. If you take a blood thinner such as warfarin, or any anticoagulant or regular NSAID, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Keep out of reach of children. Accidental overdose of iron containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6.

Pregnant or nursing mothers, individuals under 18, and individuals with known medical conditions should consult a physician before use.

As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules in the morning and 3 capsules in the afternoon.

Splitting the serving is deliberate: it spreads the intake across the day rather than concentrating it. With or without food is your preference.

A 200 capsule tube runs about 33 days at that rate.

Pregnant or nursing mothers, individuals under 18, and individuals with known medical conditions should consult a physician before use.
