Pure Encapsulations OptiFerin-C is a vegetarian capsule formula combining iron bis-glycinate (as Ferrochel®) with buffered vitamin C sourced from a calcium ascorbate blend, formulated to support healthy ferritin, hemoglobin, and red blood cell function.
Ferrochel® brand iron bis-glycinate is a patented iron amino acid chelate. The intestinal mucosal tissue tightly controls the release of Ferrochel®, supporting the safety profile of this form. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, iron supplementation supported healthy ferritin levels and enhanced energy and well-being in female subjects. Research emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy serum ferritin for optimal performance in elite female athletes.
The formula also includes buffered vitamin C as calcium ascorbate, which contributes additional calcium alongside the vitamin C component. OptiFerin-C is clinically tested to support enhanced energy, well-being, and athletic performance.
