Natural Factors Super Multi Plus Iron - A multi vitamin and mineral complex that provides the optimal level of a broad spectrum of natural vitamins, minerals, lipotrophic factors, and synergistic nutrients. The addition of iron makes this formula beneficial for women of child-bearing age to prevent iron deficiency anemia. Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients required for the normal chemical processes that occur in the body and enable a person to lead a vital, active, and healthy life. These nutrients must be obtained on a daily basis through the diet since the body either doesn’t synthesize them, or does so in inadequate amounts. A daily multi vitamin-mineral supplement can supply the missing nutrients in the diet and may also help reduce the risk of developing certain health conditions.
