Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™ 30 Capsules by Garden of Life – Red Blood Cell Support Iron Supplement
Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™ capsules by Garden of Life combine 22 mg of iron from Brown Rice Chelate with vitamin C, folate and methylcobalamin B12. This vegan iron supplement also contains an organic fruit and vegetable blend and a probiotic and enzyme blend, bringing several complementary nutrients together in one capsule.
The formula focuses on red blood cell support rather than supplying a broad multivitamin. Iron provides a building block for hemoglobin, while folate and B12 contribute to the normal cell-making processes needed to produce red blood cells.
Key Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™ Benefits
- Supports normal hemoglobin formation, helping red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.
- Provides folate and vitamin B12 to support normal DNA production and the ongoing formation of healthy red blood cells.
- Includes vitamin C, which supports nonheme iron absorption and contributes to normal immune function alongside its antioxidant role.
How Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™ Works
Hemoglobin holds iron at the center of its oxygen-binding structure. This enables oxygen transport to tissues that need it for everyday activity. Your body regulates iron absorption and storage, so an appropriate intake matters more than simply taking a larger amount.
Vitamin C complements the iron by helping keep nonheme iron in a form the intestine can absorb. Folate and B12 serve a different purpose: they help cells handle the building materials used for DNA. Together, these nutrients support normal blood-cell nutrition without acting as stimulants.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Iron: Helps form hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. This mineral connects the formula directly to normal blood function; the capsule supplies it from Brown Rice Chelate.
- Vitamin C: Supports iron absorption by helping nonheme iron remain available for uptake in the intestine. It also participates in antioxidant protection, complementing the formula's nutritional focus rather than replacing iron itself.
- Folate: Helps transfer small building blocks used to make DNA. Because developing blood cells divide actively, this function supports their normal formation and explains why folate accompanies iron in this formula.
- Vitamin B12: Works with folate in pathways that support DNA production. The methylcobalamin form supplies B12 for normal cellular metabolism, complementing iron's role in hemoglobin rather than serving as an additional source of iron.
Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™ Is Formulated For
- Adults whose healthcare practitioner recommends supplemental iron, including those seeking a vegan capsule.
- Adults who want iron paired with folate, B12 and vitamin C rather than iron alone.

Additional precautions: Iron supplements can cause nausea, stomach discomfort, constipation or diarrhea. Avoid supplemental iron if you have iron overload unless your clinician directs its use. Iron can interfere with levothyroxine and levodopa; acid-reducing medicines and calcium can affect iron absorption. Ask your pharmacist about timing and interactions before combining them. Review other iron-containing supplements to avoid unnecessary duplication.
Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™
What are the benefits of Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™?
Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™ supplies 22 mg of iron per capsule to support normal hemoglobin formation and oxygen transport. Its vitamin C complements nonheme iron absorption, while folate and B12 support the cellular processes involved in making red blood cells. The combination is useful for adults who need supplemental iron and prefer a vegan capsule with these companion nutrients. It is not a broad multivitamin or a stimulant, and more iron is not automatically better.
Who should take Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™?
This formula is intended for adults whose healthcare practitioner recommends supplemental iron. It can suit someone seeking a vegan iron capsule that also includes vitamin C, folate and methylcobalamin B12. Adults take one capsule daily, with or without food; the capsule may also be opened into water or juice. It is not intended for children. Pregnancy, nursing, regular medication use, anticipated surgery or other medical supervision require a discussion with your practitioner before use.
Are there any side effects of taking Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™?
Iron can cause nausea, stomach upset, constipation or diarrhea. Consult your practitioner before use if pregnant, nursing, anticipating surgery, taking medication, otherwise under medical supervision or considering giving it to a child; this product is not intended for children. Accidental iron overdose can cause fatal poisoning in children under 6; keep it out of reach and call a physician or poison control center immediately after accidental overdose. Do not use a broken or unsealed package. The facility also processes soy, dairy, peanut, tree nuts and shellfish. Iron overload and interactions with levothyroxine, levodopa, calcium or acid-reducing medicines require individualized advice.
How does Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™ support overall health?
Vitamin Code® Raw Iron™ combines nutrients with distinct roles in normal blood-cell nutrition. Iron is part of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to tissues. Folate and B12 support DNA-related pathways needed when new cells form, while vitamin C helps the body absorb nonheme iron. The formula also includes fruit, vegetable, probiotic and enzyme blends, but it does not replace food sources of these nutrients. Choosing this combination should depend on your iron needs rather than a general assumption that everyone needs iron.
