Due to non-ionic nature, this Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex is more stable than conventional Iron form.

Iron is an essential component in hemoglobin formation; adequate amounts are necessary for effective erythropoiesis. Zinc is a cofactor in over 100 enzymes, plays a role in DNA synthesis, and supports a healthy immune system. Vitamin B complex plays a role in synthesis and maintenance of coenzyme A and is necessary for lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex is more stable than conventional Iron form due to its non-ionic nature.
