WARNING: Please read- Do NOT combine this supplement with vitamin C
CAUTION- PLEASE READ: This supplement contains a preservative called sodium benzoate, which, when combined with Vitamin C/citric acid, can create and release a known carcinogen called benzene. The latter is a cancer-causing chemical associated with leukemia and other blood cancers. Google it, you'll find tons of info on it. Unfortunately, it's a cheap preservative for companies to use. It's especially disconcerting that it would be put in an iron supplement, because the most common vitamin taken with iron is vitamin C, due to the fact that it helps absorption. (You'll often see vitamin C added to iron supplements for this reason.) I really hope that one day the sketchy preservatives will be better regulated. Whatever you do, don't take this item with Vitamin C!! I am putting my pennies towards a safer supplement. I hope that others do too. Sooo not worth the potential for accidentally creating cancer/leukemia causing carcinogens(!!) - To me at least. Wishing you good health!
