FePlus®

Increased Absorption, Easy on the Stomach Iron

FePlus is a proprietary, blended chelate containing iron that is quickly absorbed by the body and gentle on the stomach.

Chelation, the process of binding iron molecules to an amino acid, stabilizes iron so it is readily absorbed into the bloodstream while being gentle on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

FePlus is food-friendly and has no metallic taste, so you can take your prenatal vitamin with or without meals.
