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 good 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 common side effects associated with iron supplements such as nausea or constipation.

Anemia is the most widespread blood disorder in the world, 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 in vitamin B12 and folate. Regardless of the cause, anemia symptoms 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 adequate red blood cell formation, thus being effective in treating and preventing iron deficiency and pernicious anemia.

AOR’s Ortho Iron Vegan is formulated with supportive nutrients such as 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 higher risk of anemia, as well as iron and B12 deficiency, simply because their diet does not provide the more absorbable heme iron form found in meat and is lower in vitamin B12.
