Pure Encapsulations OptiFerin C Supports Red Blood Cell Function and Energy Production OptiFerin-C is an iron-based supplement formulated to support red blood cells in order to help effectively transport oxygen in the body. Ferrochel® brand iron bis-glycinate was developed using unique patented chemistry, allowing it to be absorbed rapidly from the lumen of the intestine into mucosal cells and then released for transport throughout the body. The intestinal mucosal tissue tightly controls the release of Ferrochel®, supporting the safety profile of this iron amino acid chelate.

In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, iron supplementation supported healthy ferritin levels, energy, and well-being in female subjects. Research emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy serum ferritin for optimal performance, particularly in elite female athletes. This formula includes buffered vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate) to help enhance the absorption of iron. Ferrochel® brand iron bis-glycinate is developed using unique patented chemistry, allowing it to be absorbed rapidly from the lumen of the intestines into mucosal cells and then released for transport throughout the body. The intestinal mucosal tissue tightly controls the release of Ferrochel®, supporting the safety profile of this iron amino acid chelate. Ester-C® calcium ascorbate is manufactured from ascorbic acid and calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate is mined domestically. The ascorbic acid is derived from corn fermentation.
