Iron is an essential mineral that the body needs to function properly. It’s used as a building block for hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that help shuttle oxygen around your body.
Heme iron is naturally found in animal foods that contain hemoglobin like meat, fish and poultry. This form is well recognized by the body and tends to be gentle on digestion. It’s a good option for anyone who has difficulty tolerating non-heme iron supplements.
Iron’s role in supporting fetal development is well-recognized, as the body’s need for iron increases during pregnancy. CanPrev’s Heme Iron contains 11mg of bovine-sourced heme iron per capsule, plus vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids. Added folate and vitamin B12 help support red blood cell production and normal early fetal development.

Directions
Adults (19 years and older) - Take 1 capsule per day.

Cautions & Warnings
Do not use if • you have certain medical conditions • you have an allergy to bovine products. A very serious allergic reaction to this product is rare. Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if • you have peptic ulcer • you have regional enteritis • you have ulcerative colitis • you have hemochromatosis • you have other types of anemia • you have repeated blood transfusions • you have stomach/intestinal problems. Consult your healthcare practitioner before using heme iron polypeptide if • you are using methydopa • you are using other iron containing products. Stop use if • hypersensitivity/allergy occurs. Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach, and stomach/abdominal cramping may occur. Iron may cause stools to turn black, an effect that is not harmful. Iron supplements can decrease the absorption of drugs such as • tetracycline • antibiotics • penicillamine • cefdinir • chloramphenicol • levothyroxine • levodopa • 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. Keep out of reach of children. There is enough drug in this package to seriously harm a child.
Other Information
Do not use if safety seal is broken.
A noticeable difference in just 3 months
I’ve been taking CanPrev Heme Iron consistently for the past 3 months, taking just one capsule before bed each night, and I’m really happy with the results. My ferritin increased from 8 to 22, and I also saw improvements in my hemoglobin and MCV. I love that it’s an easy addition to my nightly routine, and I appreciate that it contains heme iron along with vitamin C, folate and B12. This has definitely become a supplement I plan to continue using!
