Heme iron from bovine sources is a highly bioavailable form of iron that is better tolerated than other iron supplements with fewer side effects. Studies show heme iron has side effect rates similar to placebo and tolerance does not decrease over time, making it a safe, natural, and effective therapy for both short- and long-term iron deficiency. Heme iron supplements from OptiFer tablets provide a multifaceted micronutrient therapy and have been widely used in Scandinavia for over 20 years without any serious side effects or poisonings reported.
