Iron deficiency anemia is common among young women,3 and many iron formulations are available—by prescription as well as over the counter. What makes Ferralet 90 different? Two things: carbonyl iron and the formulation itself.

Ferralet 90 contains 90 mg carbonyl iron. This iron is special. The rate at which it enters the body is set by the body itself in a process we call biocomplementary absorption™.*2 This gradual process "causes less gastrointestinal toxicity than iron salts"3 and provides far greater safety, which means less danger of accidental poisoning in children.

The formulation also contains a gentle stool softener for women sensitive to iron, as well as vitamins that promote iron absorption and overall blood health. It's got a pleasant vanilla scent, and it's free of lactose and gluten—in step with today's dietary concerns.

WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. KEEP THIS PRODUCT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
