Ortho Iron Vegan is a vegan and lactoferrin-free version of Ortho Iron, AOR's award-winning iron formula. It contains synergistic nutrients necessary for proper iron absorption and is useful for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Ortho Iron Vegan is well tolerated and does not tend to cause the side effects common to iron supplements such as nausea or constipation.
Anemia is the most common blood disorder in the world and is characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells. There are several types of anemia, including iron deficiency anemia, which results from low iron levels, and pernicious anemia, which is caused by a deficiency of vitamin B12 and folate. Regardless of the cause, symptoms of anemia include debilitating fatigue, weakness and difficulty concentrating, all of which improve with treatment. Ortho Iron Vegan provides iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid, and promotes proper red blood cell formation, and is therefore effective in the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency and pernicious anemia.
AOR's Ortho Iron Vegan is formulated with supportive nutrients such as vitamins B6, vitamin C, zinc and copper, which help improve iron absorption while reducing the risk of side effects. Vegans and vegetarians will benefit from Ortho Iron Vegan, as they are at greater risk of anemia, as well as iron and B12 deficiency simply because their diets do not provide the most absorbable form of heme iron found in meat and are lower in vitamin B12.
