WHAT IT IS / WHAT IT DOES
Iron Matrix 20 mg by Cytomatrix® is a comprehensive iron formula designed to help prevent iron deficiency anemia and support the formation and proper function of red blood cells.
Each vegetable capsule provides 20 mg of elemental iron as Ferrochel™ ferrous bis-glycinate chelate. This fully chelated form is selected for its bioavailability and digestive tolerability, addressing one of the common challenges associated with supplemental iron.
Rather than supplying iron alone, Iron Matrix combines it with several complementary nutrients involved in iron utilization and red blood cell formation.
Each capsule provides 300 mg of vitamin C, along with vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, folate as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, magnesium and copper.
This multi-nutrient approach makes Iron Matrix a targeted formula for individuals who require iron supplementation while also providing nutritional cofactors involved in healthy red blood cell production.

CHELATED IRON & DIGESTIVE TOLERABILITY
Iron Matrix uses Ferrochel™ ferrous bis-glycinate chelate, providing 20 mg of elemental iron per capsule.
In this form, iron is chelated to the amino acid glycine. Cytomatrix® specifically selects the bis-glycinate form for its absorption and gentler action on the digestive tract.
Digestive effects such as constipation, nausea and stomach upset can make conventional iron supplementation difficult for some individuals. A well-tolerated iron formulation can therefore be particularly useful when consistent supplementation is required.
Individual tolerance varies, and the recommended dosage and duration of iron supplementation should be based on individual needs.
RED BLOOD CELL SUPPORT
Iron plays an essential role in the formation and proper function of red blood cells.
Iron Matrix provides iron alongside several complementary nutrients involved in blood-cell formation and iron metabolism.
Vitamin C — 300 mg: Helps improve the absorption of iron from the digestive tract.
Vitamin B6 — 25 mg: Supplied as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, an active form of vitamin B6.
Vitamin B12 — 400 mcg: Supplied as methylcobalamin and included as part of the formula’s red blood cell support.
Folate — 400 mcg: Supplied as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and contributes to healthy red blood cell formation.
Copper — 35 mcg: An essential trace mineral involved in normal iron metabolism.
Magnesium — 42 mg: Supplied using TRAACS™ magnesium bis-glycinate chelate buffered with magnesium oxide.
IRON DEFICIENCY SUPPORT
Iron deficiency can interfere with normal red blood cell production and oxygen transport. When deficiency progresses sufficiently, it can result in iron deficiency anemia.
Fatigue, weakness and pallor are commonly associated with iron deficiency anemia, but symptoms alone cannot determine iron status.
Because excess iron can also be harmful, individuals who suspect iron deficiency—particularly those considering longer-term supplementation—should consider discussing appropriate testing such as hemoglobin and ferritin with a healthcare professional.
PAIR WITH
Iron Matrix already contains several nutrients commonly paired with iron, including vitamin C, folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, magnesium and copper.
For this reason, additional iron-containing supplements or multivitamins should be reviewed carefully to avoid unnecessarily duplicating iron intake.
A balanced diet containing iron-rich foods can complement supplementation when appropriate.
