What is Carbonyl Iron?

Carbonyl Iron is a highly pure form of elemental iron with superior bioavailability and fewer gastrointestinal side effects than traditional iron salts. It is used primarily for the treatment and prevention of iron-deficiency anemia. The slow absorption of carbonyl iron reduces the likelihood of iron overload and gastric irritation. It is often included in multivitamins for pregnant women.
