FERAPRO 150mg | Bob's Formula | 100 V Caps
Regular price $59.99 Save $-59.99
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO IRON SUPPLEMENTATION
FERAPRO, originally formulated by compounding pharmacist Bob Mehr in 1997 and formerly known as BOB'S IRON FORMULA, is a holistic blend of iron, vitamins, and cofactors to prevent and/or treat iron deficiency anemia. The absorption and tolerability of the iron in this blend are enhanced by vitamin C and glycine, while the active forms of vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF) support the growth and function of healthy red blood cells.
Gentle and Effective
FERAPRO has been proven to gently and effectively increase serum ferritin levels faster than polysaccharide iron supplements. Patients report less constipation, nausea and upset stomach with FERAPRO when compared to other commonly prescribed brands of iron supplements in Canada.
Long History of Success
FERAPRO, formerly known as Bob’s Iron Formula, has been perfected over 20 years of research and patient and practitioner feedback to optimize oral iron therapy, and improve patient outcomes.
Highest Dose in the Market
FERAPRO is the only ferrous (Fe2+) iron supplement that offers 150mg elemental iron as a single dose once per day, which is the optimal regimen for maximum absorption. It is also available in 30mg and 75mg elemental iron per capsule dosages for individualized dosing.
NOTE: As per the Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act, this Iron Formula is a schedule II drug that requires professional intervention from the pharmacist at the point of sale. While a prescription is not required, this supplement is only available through a pharmacist. After placing your order online, you will receive a call from one of our licensed pharmacists for a quick teleconsultation. Your order will be shipped out after you have completed the teleconsultation.
• Formerly Known as BOB'S IRON FORMULA
• 20 Years of Proven Success in Over 30,000 Patients
• Available in 3 Strengths for Individualized Dosing (30mg, 75mg, and 150mg of Elemental Iron Per Capsule)
• Reduced Side Effects Such as Constipation and Upset Stomach
• Vegan Formulation
• Corn-free
• Dairy-free

Each veg-capsule contains:
Medicinal ingredients: Iron (from ferrous fumarate) 150mg, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 350mg, vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) 1000mcg, folate (l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) 80mcg and glycine 100mg.
- Elemental Iron (from Ferrous Fumarate)..........................150mg
Ferrous Fumarate provides ferrous (Fe2+) iron, which is more bioavailable than ferric (Fe3+) iron found in polysaccharide iron supplements. It also has the highest elemental iron content of available oral iron salts which allows for once a day dosing.
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid).................................................350mg
The enzyme ascorbate ferrireductase (DcytB) uses Vitamin C to enhance non-heme iron bioavailability by 1.5 to 10-fold. The addition of Vitamin C allows for optimal absorption without having to take additional tablets.
- Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)....................................1000mcg
Methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12, is required for the proper development of red blood cells. Methylcobalamin is used in the metabolic pathway for DNA synthesis, which is essential for the final maturation of the red blood cells.
- Folate (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate)................................80mcg
5-MTHF, the active form of folic acid, is required for proper development of red blood cells. 5-MTHF is used in the metabolic pathway for DNA synthesis, which is essential for the final maturation of the red blood cell.
*Note that a small but significant percentage of patients may be poor methylators due to the MTHFR gene mutation, and cannot efficiently convert folic acid to the biologically active 5-MTHF. Supplying folate already in its biologically active form is especially important, given the prevalence of the MTHFR gene mutation.
- Glycine............................................................................100mg
Glycine is an amino acid that forms a chelate complex with iron, increasing its tolerability without hindering absorption. This increases the likelihood of patient adherence, thereby reducing the need for more invasive parenteral iron therapy.
Non-medicinal ingredients: Hypromellose.
Unlike other iron supplement products on the market, which generally have a long list of fillers, binders, and colouring agents, FERAPRO® has only one non-medicinal ingredient, hypromellose, which plays a crucial role in the delivery of the active ingredients.
Take 1 capsule daily with food or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Take a few hours before or after taking other medications.
FERAPRO should be taken orally with food to lessen gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramping.
Certain foods and beverages, when combined with iron, can reduce its absorption. To ensure you get the full benefit from your iron supplement, avoid the following for at least 1 hour before and 2 hours after taking your iron supplement:
- Leafy green vegetables
- Tea and coffee
- Dairy products
- Eggs
- Calcium-/magnesium-containing supplements and antacids
- Fibre-rich meals
Check with your pharmacist to see if your iron supplement should be spaced apart from other medications you may be taking. Remember, making dietary changes to include more heme or non-heme iron is an effective and important part of maintaining a healthy supply of iron for your red blood cells. See our Food Sources of Iron insert for more information about managing iron deficiency and tips for maintaining healthy body iron stores.
When will I feel better?
Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia may include fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath, pale skin, and hair loss. When treated appropriately with iron supplementation, these symptoms should resolve within 2 to 4 months, although iron therapy may be required for another 4 to 6 months to replenish iron stores.
Keep out of reach of children. There is enough iron in this package to seriously harm a child. FERAPRO should only be used under the care and supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner.
- Consult a healthcare practitioner for prolonged use such as beyond 2 months.
- Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have peptic ulcer disease, regional enteritis, or ulcerative colitis.
Be sure to only take the recommended dose of iron. Too much iron can be toxic. If you suspect that you or someone else has taken an overdose of iron - call your doctor, a poison control centre, or the nearest hospital emergency room at once. Early signs of iron overdose may not appear for up to 60 minutes or more. Do not delay going to the emergency room while waiting for signs to appear.
Store at room temperature (15°C to 30°C).

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has calculated the prevalence of iron deficiency and iron-deficient anemia in the United States from data collected from physical exams and household interviews and determined the prevalence of iron deficiency is greatest among toddlers, ages 1 - 2 years (7%), and menstruating adolescent and adult females, ages 12 - 49 (9 - 16%). An iron deficiency can manifest as weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness, tinnitus, spots before the eyes, drowsiness, irritability, infrequent menstruation, and loss of libido.
Conventional iron supplementation, including forms such as ferrous sulfate, can cause gastrointestinal side effects – including nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and dark-coloured stools – because these conventional forms of iron are poorly absorbed.
Thorne Research's Iron Bisglycinate provides 25 mg of elemental iron per capsule reacted with glycine for optimal absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thus preventing the typical gastrointestinal side effects.
• A non-constipating, well-absorbed form of iron
• An essential mineral for the formation of red blood cells
• Helps fight fatigue due to iron insufficiency
• An iron deficiency can cause many symptoms, including weakness, ringing in the ears, spots before the eyes, and shortness of breath on exertion

Natural Factors HemoFactors
Iron plays a central role in transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues, and carries carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Iron is also vital to energy production. Our dietary intake of iron does not always satisfy the body’s needs and often requires supplementation. The best form of supplemental iron appears to be ferrous pyrophosphate. Sunactive Fe® ferrous pyrophosphate is micronized (reduced to a very small particle size) and microencapsulated, to allow it to be dispersed and assimilated without gastrointestinal side effects. Natural Factors HemoFactors is a great-tasting chewable tablet containing Sunactive Fe and provides all the benefits of this unique form of iron.
Pumping iron
By Dr. Kate Rhéaume, B.Sc., N.D.
Iron deficiency is globally the most common nutrient deficiency. Iron plays a central role in the hemoglobin molecule of our red blood cells, where it functions to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues, and carries carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Iron is also involved in the functioning of several key enzymes that are vital to energy production.
Often our dietary intake of iron does not adequately satisfy the body’s needs. This is particularly common in menstruating women, as well as women who are pregnant or lactating. Vegetarians have an increased risk of iron deficiency since their dietary iron intake is often low. The absorption of iron depends on adequate levels of stomach acid so those who frequently use antacid medications may also be at risk for iron deficiency. In addition, because stomach acid levels decline with age, the elderly are at greater risk.
Anemia is a condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells or hemoglobin, however it is possible to be deficient in iron without having anemia. Iron-dependent enzymes involved in energy production are the first to be affected by low iron levels. A blood test that measures serum ferritin, the iron storage protein, is the best way to determine iron deficiency.
Heme iron, most commonly found in red meat (especially liver), is the best dietary source of iron and has an absorption rate of up to 30%. Good nonmeat sources of iron include beans, molasses, dried fruits, whole grains and green leafy vegetables. The absorption rate for non-heme (vegetable) sources of iron is approximately 5%, but can be enhanced by vitamin C.
Achieving optimum iron levels often requires supplementation. Ferrous sulfate is the most common iron supplement, but often causes constipation. The best form of supplemental iron appears to be ferrous pyrophosphate. Sunactive Fe® ferrous pyrophosphate is micronized (reduced to a very small particle size) and microencapsulated, to allow it to be dispersed and assimilated. Sunactive Fe is extremely safe, stable, tasteless and has no gastrointestinal side effects. Natural Factors HemoFactors is a great-tasting chewable tablet containing Sunactive Fe and provides all the benefits of this unique form of iron.
HemoFactors by Natural Factors contains SunActive® iron, a highly bioavailable form of elemental iron that is easily absorbable and gentle on the stomach. Iron is a trace mineral found in hemoglobin that carries oxygen to cells to help produce energy. Supplementation helps prevent iron deficiency anemia and is especially important for women of child-bearing age.

AOR Ortho Iron 30 VCaps
Regular price $42.99 Save $-42.99
AOR Ortho Iron, contains SunActive, a superior form of iron 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 bound to a food-grade emulsifier to prevent clustering. These two factors give it a bioavailability equal to that of pharmaceutical-grade iron prescriptions. 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 which are crucial 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 with approximately 25% of the world's population being iron-deficient. However, even iron-deficiency states that do not lead to anemia may have detrimental effects on human health, including compromised cognitive function, overall weakness and fatigue, and a weakening of the immune system.
Pregnant and menstruating women are often at risk of iron deficiency, as are adolescents, endurance athletes, and anyone undergoing a condition of growth and/or fatigue or who has experienced blood loss. Ortho•Iron is the most advanced iron supplement for those with an iron deficiency and is especially helpful for those who have experienced uncomfortable side effects such as constipation or nausea from conventional iron pills.
Ortho Iron improves symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia such as fatigue and weakness, without the gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with iron supplements.
• Provides nutrients that prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia
• Contains a highly absorbable form of iron
• Includes nutrients and vitamins that aid in the body’s usage of iron
