Iron with Vitamin C - Tablets

Iron with Vitamin C: two nutrients in one vegan tablet

Iron with Vitamin C from Golden Elements combines 14 mg of iron as bisglycinate with 40 mg of vitamin C per tablet. One tablet daily constitutes the recommended serving. The pack contains 120 vegan tablets, providing 120 daily servings. Both nutrients are listed separately in the table.

When comparing iron-vitamin C tablets, the respective amounts help you assess them. The iron value is not added to the vitamin C value to create a combined active ingredient figure. The combination is a separate formulation and differs from the separate iron bisglycinate tablets containing 25 mg of iron.

Blood formation, oxygen transport and iron absorption

Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. It contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin C increases iron absorption. The information thus describes specific functions of the nutrients mentioned.

Both nutrients also contribute to normal energy metabolism and the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin C complements the formulation with additional approved functions, such as protecting cells from oxidative stress. The complete overview makes the assignment transparent.

Comparing iron as bisglycinate and vitamin amounts

Bisglycinate refers to the iron compound used. The nutrient content of 14 mg should be distinguished from the raw material mass of this compound. The vitamin C amount is separately 40 mg. For comparison, the actual nutrient amounts per recommended daily serving are used.

14 mg of iron corresponds to 100 percent, 40 mg of vitamin C corresponds to 50 percent of the statutory nutrient reference values for adults. These percentage values are used for labelling. They are not evidence of personal requirements and are not a diagnosis of your supply of iron or vitamin C.

Difference from the 25 mg iron formulation

The separate iron bisglycinate tablets provide 25 mg of iron per tablet and contain 500 pieces per pack. This combination product contains 14 mg of iron plus vitamin C and 120 tablets. Thus, both products differ in both composition and pack size.

Which formulation you choose can be compared using the specific product information. The shared iron compound does not make the products identical in quantity. Other dietary supplements containing iron or vitamin C should be taken into account when reviewing the nutrients already used.

120 daily servings and practical use

One tablet daily with 250 ml of water is the intended use. The serving is already defined by the number of pieces. The 120 tablets make 120 full servings; the best before date must be observed regardless of this quantity calculation.

The formulation is also part of the Ultra Minerals Bundle. There, the iron-C serving and the uses of the other products remain separate. The joint selection of a set does not change the iron value or the vitamin C amount of this tablet. Professional references to the nutrient functions can be found in the EU register.

Iron Bisglycinate 25 mg – 500 tablets

Ultra Minerals Bundle

The 14 mg of iron per tablet corresponds to the statutory nutrient reference value for adults. This is not a measure of your personal iron requirements. The 40 mg of vitamin C is declared with its own NRV percentage.

This product provides 14 mg of iron plus 40 mg of vitamin C per tablet. The separate iron bisglycinate product provides 25 mg of iron and has a different formulation and pack size. Compare them as alternatives; a higher number is not an individual intake recommendation.

Yes. The list of ingredients lists microcrystalline cellulose and dicalcium phosphate as bulking agents, and iron bisglycinate, L-ascorbic acid, and magnesium salts of fatty acids as anti-caking agents. Vegan does not mean that only iron and vitamin C are contained here.
