"The #1 selling iron supplement — clinically shown not to cause nausea or constipation"
Overview
MegaFood Blood Builder is the #1 selling iron supplement in the US, delivering 26mg of iron from whole food sources along with vitamin C, folate, and vitamin B12 for optimal iron absorption and red blood cell formation.
