What form of iron does HemaPlex contain? Is it animal-based or plant-based?

I was running very low on iron. My doctor told me to look for something that said Elemental Iron... Since I'm a vegetarian ..... I found Hemaplex! Best thing ever..., my iron levels stay at normal range now and there's no side effects what so ever (if you know what I mean) best product ever in my book. It's pricey, but I feel it's worth it. I like tablets, not the capsule.

I always thought Hema was animal-based, but I had trouble confirming this online. What I did find were plenty of links to Amazon for a Vegetarian Formula of Hema-Plex. Try searching those terms and see if you go to a different product page, if it's important?

Normally men over the age of 40 should not take iron because it increases their risk of heart attack. However, anyone with iron definciency can take it. My husband has leukemia and has only been able to keep his hematocrit and hemoglobin levels up by using Hemaplex. His oncologist is pleased with its results. We've been using it for 5 years. Love it, CB from Seattle

No, I checked the label, and no animal ingredients. It does work, my doctor told me three weeks ago I was no longer anemic.

garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented. garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens... » Read More garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented. « Show Less

there is NO iron in the NEW formula for kids. which is sad b/c this is the ONLY brand of viatmin that suits my kid and me , and i love it thats it organic and food based. but garden of life did email me saying that i could ask the pediatrician if i can give my daughter the adults iron or the family viatmin that has some iron ( 11% only for 4 tablets, my daughter will never take 4 tablets). since she gets dark circles under her eyes due to less iron, and i was anemic during pregnancy. i take the daily the garden of life RAW FOOD to get the iron and minerals. but removing iron form a kids vitamin was sad b/c we are vegetarians and the quality of food in the US due to GMOS and pesticides isn't great.

It is a brown rice and hemp protein. No ground up animal bones or preservatives. Most importantly for me, no metals or arsenic.

I can only guess that the other 1% is composed of "impurities" such as manganese. It would be virtually impossible to market something as 100% pure iron. Wish I were of more scientific help.

Sorry, I just noticed your question. It states that there is not a significant amount of Vitamin C or Iron.

I do not see iron or magnesium listed in the ingredients. Copper is listed and Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin. My naturopath doctor recommended I use the Now brand of this.

When I ordered this one with no iron, it came correct--no iron. On the front of the bottle in the upper left hand corner of the label there is an orange leaf that says no iron. The regular with iron vitamins don't have that. I would just double check the bottle when you receive it.
