New Roots Heme Iron Polypeptide 11 mg 30 Veg. Capsules

Highly bioavailable HemeIron is isolated from animal sources for maximum intestinal absorption. It’s the particular type of iron that is easily recognized and exploited by the body to form the structural scaffolding for hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the specialized protein within blood that binds to oxygen within the lungs for use in cellular respiration throughout the entire body.

A very serious allergic reaction to this product is rare; do not use if you have an allergy to pork products. Before using heme iron polypeptide, tell your pharmacist or doctor if you are using methyldopa or other iron-containing products. Iron supplements can decrease the absorption of drugs such as tetracycline antibiotics, penicillamine, cefdinir, chloramphenicol, levothyroxine, levodopa, and quinolone antibiotics; therefore, doses of these medications should be spaced as far as possible. This product may interfere with certain laboratory tests (including testing for blood in stool), possibly causing false test results; make sure laboratory personnel and all doctors know you are taking this product. This product should not be used if you have certain medical conditions. Tell your pharmacist or doctor before using this product if you have hemochromatosis, other types of anemia, repeated blood transfusions, or stomach/intestinal problems.
