Better Absorption: Get Vitamin C w/Opurity Iron Supplements

Many people struggle with an iron deficiency that makes them feel sluggish, weak and may affect their immune function.

When you have low iron, it can often be slow to correct.

Taking an Iron supplement like Opurity Iron plus Vitamin C can help.  The addition of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, can significantly enhance the absorption of iron in the body.

Here's why taking vitamin C with iron can be helpful:

• Improves Iron Absorption from Plant Sources: (non-heme iron) is not as easily absorbed by the body as iron from animal sources (heme iron). Vitamin C can convert non-heme iron into a more absorbable form, which helps increase its uptake in the intestines. This is especially important for vegetarians and anyone following a plant-based diet.
• Reduces Iron Deficiency Risk: By improving iron absorption, vitamin C helps to prevent and manage iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency is a common nutritional concern that can lead to fatigue, weakness, decreased immunity, and impaired cognitive function.
• Supports Overall Health: Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with its own health benefits. It supports the immune system, aids in collagen production (important for skin health), acts as an antioxidant, and helps with wound healing.
