Iron, Double Strength, 36 mg, N90

Now Foods Iron Double Strength – 36 mg of iron in one vegetarian capsule

Now Foods Iron Double Strength is a food supplement with 36 mg of iron in each vegetarian capsule. The iron comes from 180 mg of ferrous bisglycinate – a compound in which iron is bound to the amino acid glycine. The raw material is known as Ferrochel™, a trademark of Albion Laboratories, Inc. The name Double Strength means that the capsule contains twice as much iron as the NOW regular strength iron product, which has 18 mg of iron per capsule. One capsule provides 257% of the nutrient reference value for iron. The daily dose is one capsule and the bottle contains 90 capsules, so one pack lasts for 90 days.
