Ortho Iron contains SunActive®, a superior form of iron that has been shown to be better absorbed and much better tolerated than other iron products on the market. SunActive® contains ferric pyrophosphate, a type of iron that has undergone particle size reduction treatment for better absorption and is bound to a food-grade emulsifier to prevent aggregation. These two factors give it bioavailability equal to that of pharmaceutical-grade iron. Ortho Iron also contains several other nutrients that promote iron absorption and prevent the oxidative effects associated with iron supplementation. These include vitamins C, B6, B12, folate, lactoferrin, and copper, all of which are essential for iron absorption and utilization.

Ortho Iron is a complete formula for the treatment of anemia, which can be caused not only by iron deficiency but also by deficiencies in vitamin B12 or folate. Iron deficiency, which can lead to anemia, is the most common nutritional disorder in the world; approximately 25% of the global population suffers from iron deficiency. However, even states of iron deficiency that do not lead to anemia can have detrimental effects on human health, including compromised cognitive function, general weakness and fatigue, and a weakened immune system.

Pregnant women and those menstruating are often at risk of iron deficiency, as are adolescents, endurance athletes, and anyone suffering from a growth or fatigue condition or who has experienced blood loss. Ortho Iron is the most advanced iron supplement for individuals suffering from iron deficiency and is particularly useful for those who have experienced unpleasant side effects such as constipation or nausea caused by conventional iron pills.

AOR's Ortho Iron improves symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia such as fatigue and weakness, without the gastrointestinal side effects generally associated with iron supplements.
