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.
The Importance of Iron During Pregnancy*

Additional reasons why iron is important during pregnancy:
While supplementing with iron daily helps replenish and maintain what is needed, up to 60% of women experience unpleasant side effects from most oral iron therapy, including upset stomach, indigestion, and nausea, making chelated iron a viable option.
