Iron Synergy® is a blend of Naturized® food-grown iron and select botanicals that offers a whole food alternative to iron supplementation. Naturized® iron is supplied in a food matrix of the probiotic Lactobacillus bulgaricus, which is found to be an ideal delivery vehicle for minerals due to its ability to improve absorption and utilization. Botanicals such as Beet root, Angelica, and Rehmannia nourish and build blood, while Yellow Dock root enhances iron uptake. This unique combination of botanicals provides a synergistic effect with the Naturized® iron to help build blood and support overall health.*

Naturized Iron (from Lactobacillus bulgaricus)
Iron is well-known for its role in oxygen transport as it facilitates the blood cells’ ability to carry oxygen throughout the body. Iron is essential in many physiological functions including respiratory, immune, metabolic, cellular, and cognitive. Food-based nutrients are ideal because of their innate compatibility with human biochemistry and physiology. Naturized® nutrients, delivered in a food matrix, are recognized by the body as a nutritious food complex. Nutrients are released from the matrix during digestion through the gut. This naturally facilitates their absorption, bioavailability, and bioactivity.*
 
Beet Root Extract (Beta vulgaris)
Beet root is highly regarded as a functional food that promotes health and has a long history of medicinal use. The ancient physician Hippocrates recommended eating beets to nourish and build the blood. In modern times, research confirms that Beet root is an excellent source of nutrients that promote cardiovascular health and that consuming beet root regularly has a positive influence on the quality of the blood. Beet root has also demonstrated antioxidant activity.*
 
Yellow Dock Root (Rumex crispus)
Yellow Dock has been used for centuries by traditional herbalists as a blood-nourishing tonic. It is a highly-revered herb traditionally used to enhance iron assimilation and build healthy blood. Yellow Dock is commonly used in combination with other botanicals to build blood and has been shown to promote healthy hemoglobin levels. Early American physicians also used it to address blood and lymph stagnation as it is noted to support healthy blood and lymph flow.*
 
Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis)
Dong Quai, one of the most esteemed herbs in the Chinese materia medica, is especially revered as a blood-nourishing tonic and restorative herb. For millennia, it has been combined with Rehmannia root in formulations to enrich blood and nourish health. Research suggests Dong Quai has the ability to promote healthy blood cell formation and development, encourage healthy serum iron levels, and enhance microcirculation.*
 
Rehmannia Root, Cured (Rehmannia glutinosa)
Rehmannia has been highly valued in Chinese medicine as a health tonic for thousands of years. One of the most widely revered Chinese formulas, Four Substances Formula (Si Wu Tang), combines Rehmannia and Dong Quai with two other herbs to nourish blood and promote overall health. Studies show that Rehmannia formulas support the formation and development of healthy blood cells and encourage healthy heart function.*
