Ortho Iron contains SunActive®, a superior form of iron that has been shown to be better absorbed and much easier to tolerate than other iron products on the market. SunActive® contains ferric pyrophosphate, a type of iron that has been processed to reduce particle size for higher absorption and is bonded with a food-grade emulsifier to prevent clumping. These two factors give it bioavailability equal to that of prescription pharmaceutical grade iron. Ortho Iron also contains several other nutrients that support iron absorption and prevent the oxidative effects associated with iron supplementation. These include vitamin C, B6, B12, folate, lactoferrin and copper; All of this is crucial for iron absorption and utilization.

Ortho Iron is a comprehensive formula for the treatment of anemia, which can be caused not only by iron deficiency, but also by vitamin B12 or folate deficiencies. Iron deficiency, which can lead to anemia, is the most common nutritional disorder worldwide with approximately 25% of the world's population being iron deficient. However, even iron deficiency states that do not lead to anemia can have adverse effects on human health, including compromised cognitive function, overall weakness and fatigue, and a weakened immune system.
