Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature's Plus Iron 40 mg contains the mineral iron, but the specific data provided here is for calcium.

However, we must be precise: the data for this product's specific ingredient (iron) is not fully detailed in the provided information.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton and a signal conductor for your muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for iron specifically. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High calcium levels 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]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data].
