Iron-C provides a highly utilizable form of iron to support optimal muscle function. Iron-C helps transport oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body, which initiates muscle contractions.*
The major function of iron is to combine with protein and copper in the synthesis of hemoglobin. Iron is necessary to manufacture myoglobin, a transporter of oxygen found in muscle tissue, which causes the chemical reactions that initiate muscle contractions. Vitamin C enhances the intestinal absorption of iron.*
