21st Century, Iron, 65 mg, 120 Tablets

Minerals function as structural components, electrolytes or enzyme cofactors, and their effects depend strongly on dose and chemical form. Absorption and tolerability can differ between salts and chelates, while total intake from food, supplements and medications determines whether a given dose is appropriate. Product evaluation therefore benefits from looking at the elemental nutrient amount rather than only the compound weight. From a scientific-use perspective, the most useful way to assess this product is to place the labeled dose in context with normal dietary exposure, nutrient status and other supplements being taken. Absorption, metabolism and clinical relevance can vary among individuals, and more of a nutrient is not automatically better. For multi-ingredient products, the combination should be considered as a whole because ingredients may overlap with multivitamins, fortified foods or condition-specific formulas. Its role is best described as nutritional support consistent with the established physiology of its ingredients. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. People using prescription medicines, managing chronic conditions, preparing for procedures, or combining several supplements should review total intake and potential interactions with a qualified healthcare professional.

Adults take 1 tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
