Since the late 1960s and early 1970s, Blackstrap Molasses has been a popular product, used by many as a source of iron. Back then, we developed a fortified, tablet version supplying a specific amount of elemental iron (levels in pure molasses can vary). With 29 mg of elemental iron with ferrous fumarate and pure blackstrap molasses powder, Swanson Blackstrap Molasses with Iron is a great way to get your supplemental iron every day.
Iron is an essential mineral that the body uses for red blood cell production, to transport oxygen to tissues and other important functions.
