Ferrous Forte®

Ferrous Forte® is a combination iron supplement that takes a comprehensive approach to assist with iron deficiency.1

Ferrous Forte contains iron bisglycinate, a stable iron molecule, for better absorption to help the body maintain normal iron levels. Since the iron in Ferrous Forte is well absorbed, this suggests that it may have a low risk for free-flowing iron and may reduce the risk of possible side effects experienced.1,2
