Life Extension Iron Protein Plus
15 mg of iron a day from IronAid iron protein succinylate, the form Life Extension picked to be easy on the stomach
Iron Protein Plus is Life Extension's iron supplement for people who need more iron. Each vegetarian capsule has 300 mg of IronAid iron protein succinylate, which provides 15 mg of iron, 83% of the Daily Value. Iron is part of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen, and it supports healthy red blood cell formation and immune health.
Life Extension chose iron protein succinylate because it's well tolerated and easier on the stomach than other forms of iron. A 2013 review of oral iron studies, the one Life Extension cites, found fewer reported side effects with iron protein succinylate than with ferrous sulfate, gluconate or fumarate. The 300 mg on the front of the bottle is the iron protein succinylate; the iron itself is 15 mg. You take 1 capsule a day, and a bottle has 100.

How to use it
- Take 1 capsule a day.
- NIH notes calcium can get in the way of iron absorption, so take it at a different time of day than a calcium supplement.
- Don't take more than 1 capsule a day.
Life Extension says to take this only if you're truly low in iron, and too much iron can be harmful, so check with your doctor first. Keep it away from children: accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. If a child takes it, call a doctor or poison control center right away. Contains milk. Talk to your physician first if you're pregnant or nursing or have a medical condition.
A good fit if you
- Have been told by your doctor that you need more iron
- Have found other iron supplements hard on your stomach
- Want a once-a-day iron capsule
- Eat little or no meat
