Ferrasorb provides 36 mg of elemental iron per capsule, plus the active forms of folate and vitamins B6 and B12, which are essential for blood-building, and vitamin C to optimize iron absorption. Individuals who have a greater need for iron, or who tend to chronically lose iron, or who don't absorb iron well, can benefit from a formula that can increase the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, such as Ferrasorb.
Studies indicate that combining iron with essential B vitamins and vitamin C is superior to using these nutrients individually. Ferrasorb combines the active forms of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate), vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), and folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) with well-absorbed iron bisglycinate – for an optimal blood-building supplement, with vitamin C added to enhance iron's absorption.

I rely on tinctures from Farmacopia to help alleviate stress and calm my nervous system. I put a few drops of this in water and drink before I go to bed. It leaves me feeling relaxed and centered!
I bought this for a friend who is dealing with joint pain and arthritis and she loves the effects. One of the best things about Farmacopia is that I know they've vetted and researched what they sell so I don't have to. I recommend them (both for products and services) to everyone I know. We're so lucky to have independent businesses like this in Sonoma County!
