FAQ
- What is the suggested use of Blood Boost with Iron?
Adults, as a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule daily.
We recommend taking Blood Boost with Iron on an empty stomach and ideally by itself. Taking iron with antacids and foods high in calcium, antioxidant polyphenols or phytic acid can compete with absorption.*
- Why does Blood Boost with Iron contain copper?
Copper is an essential trace mineral required by your body to help make red blood cells and maintain nerve cells and immune health. While our food supply at one time provided us with an adequate supply of copper, today's depleted soil and use of fertilizers as well as an increased intake of iron, sugar and seed oils has changed that. A copper deficiency can lead to low blood iron levels, as copper helps you metabolize iron to make hemoglobin to transport oxygen throughout your body. We add only a small amount of copper (0.5 mg) to our formula to ensure your intake is sufficient.
- Blood Boost with Iron contains probiotics. Can this replace other probiotic formulas?
We add a very specific strain of Lactobacillus plantarum – LP299V® – to Blood Boost with Iron because it colonizes the small intestine, where iron is absorbed. This form of Lactobacillus makes iron more bioavailable to your body by lowering the pH to help the iron stay in the right form for your body to absorb.*
There are many different strains of probiotics, each with their own unique mode of action in your body. We recommend taking a probiotic supplement containing a wide variety of strains, such as our Complete Probiotics and Complete Probiotics for Women for optimal benefits.*
- Is Blood Boost with Iron safe to consume while pregnant or nursing?
This product was not formulated specifically for pregnant or nursing women. We always recommend consulting with your health care provider before taking a new dietary supplement.
- What is the purpose of the Stoplight-colored labeling?
The Stoplight System is a product-labeling program is designed to help you make informed decisions when considering your gut health. While not every product is formulated specifically for gut support, the labels – Green, Yellow or Red – provide a clear guide on how a product might impact digestion. By using this simple color-coded system, you'll be able to determine which products best fit your personal gut health journey, making it easier to align choices with your individual wellness goals.
