Our assessment
The evidence shows that EZ Melts Iron 18 mg Zesty Orange is a straightforward iron supplement. For iron, data on this specific product is limited to its ingredient list. Our assessment is that while iron is essential, you should only take this product if you have a confirmed need, such as iron deficiency anemia diagnosed by a healthcare provider.
How it works
Iron is a critical mineral that helps your red blood cells carry oxygen throughout your body. The mechanism involves supporting the formation of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen. Without adequate iron, your body cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to fatigue and weakness.
Safety profile
According to FDA data, there are 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific side effect reports for this product are not available. For the related mineral calcium, safety data shows that high levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Data not available for iron-specific side effect report counts for this formulation.
Our recommendation
We recommend you do not take this supplement without first talking to your doctor. Since data on the specific side effects and interactions for this product is not available, and because iron can be toxic in excess, you should get a blood test to confirm a deficiency before starting. Do not self-treat with iron supplements [NIH ODS].
