Ortho Iron (30 Caps)

Helps to prevent iron deficiency

  • Provides nutrients that prevent iron deficiency anemia
  • Contains a highly absorbable form of iron
  • Includes nutrients and vitamins that aid the body’s use of iron and help red blood cell formation
  • Non-constipating formula that is easier on the stomach

Ortho Iron contains SunActive®, a  form of iron shown to be better absorbed and much easier to tolerate than other iron products. Ortho Iron also contains several other nutrients that support iron absorption and prevent the oxidative effects associated with iron supplementation. These include Vitamin C, B6, B12, folate, lactoferrin and copper; all of which are crucial for iron absorption and utilization.

Ortho Iron is a complete formula for the prevention of anemia, which can be caused not only by iron deficiency but also by deficiencies in vitamin B12 or folate. Iron deficiency, which can lead to anemia, is the most common nutritional disorder in the world with approximately 25% of the world’s population being iron-deficient. However, even iron-deficiency states that do not lead to anemia may have detrimental effects on human health, including compromised cognitive function, overall weakness and fatigue, and a weakening of the immune system.

Pregnant and menstruating women are often at risk of iron deficiency, as are adolescents, endurance athletes, and anyone undergoing a condition of growth and/or fatigue or who has experienced blood loss. Ortho Iron is an advanced iron supplement for those with an iron deficiency, and is especially helpful for those who have experienced uncomfortable side effects such as constipation or nausea from conventional iron pills.

Herbs are powerful. They’ve been used for centuries to nourish, support, and restore the body—but just like any tool for wellness, they should be approached with knowledge, respect, and intention. Before using any herb that’s new to you, we highly encourage you to do your research, ask questions, and—most importantly—consult a certified healthcare practitioner, whether that’s a clinical herbalist, naturopath, or your trusted family doctor. Everyone’s body is different, and what works incredibly for one person may not be the right fit for another.

While we’re passionate about sharing the wisdom of herbal medicine, not all the information on our website has been reviewed by Health Canada or the FDA—which means it’s up to you to take an active role in your health. Learn, explore, and empower yourself. Herbal medicine is about cultivating a relationship with plants, understanding their effects, and using them with reverence, respect, and intention.

Your health is your own, and it is up to you to ensure that you are using plant medicine safely, effectively and knowledgeably. We’re here to support you as you step into that power by supplying high-quality, handcrafted and sustainably sourced herbs and plants.
