Product Description
Thorne Advanced Iron Complex (formerly Ferrasorb) is a comprehensive blood-building formula designed for those with increased iron needs or absorption challenges. This supplement combines highly absorbable iron bisglycinate with active forms of B vitamins (B6, B12, and folate) plus vitamin C to support optimal iron utilization. Ideal for teenage girls, pregnant women, those with malabsorption conditions, and anyone experiencing iron deficiency symptoms like fatigue, weakness, or shortness of breath. The synergistic blend of nutrients works together more effectively than individual supplements alone.

INTERACTIONS
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
