Natural Nutra Chelated Iron 29 mg
Brand: Natural Nutra · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Natural Nutra Chelated Iron 29 mg is a product containing calcium, not iron as the name suggests. Our assessment: This supplement provides 29 mg of calcium in a chelated form. Data on the specific effects of this product is limited, but we can rely on what is known about calcium supplements in general [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bones. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, very high intakes can lead to serious risks including poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and increased risk of death from heart disease. Some research also suggests high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you verify the product label, as the product name "Chelated Iron" does not match the ingredient data provided, which shows calcium. If you are seeking an iron supplement, this product is not appropriate. For calcium, be aware that this product provides 29 mg per serving, which is a small fraction of the typical adult recommendation. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider, especially regarding potential interactions with medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, or levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
