Optimal Iron Chewable
Seeking Health's Optimal Iron Chewable is a 'Single Vitamin and Mineral' supplement designed to provide iron support. This product contains two ingredients, with 10mg of Iron, which is considered a clinically studied dose, and 25mg of Vitamin C. Research suggests Vitamin C may enhance iron absorption, however, the 25mg dose in this product is noted as underdosed compared to typical clinical recommendations for this purpose. The supplement achieved an N+ Score of 50, resulting in an 'F' grade and placing it in the below-average tier. While it offers full label transparency, its ingredient adequacy is 25%, and formula completeness is 50%. This product may be suitable for individuals looking for a chewable iron supplement, but the underdosed Vitamin C should be noted.
