What is Icar-c?

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is found in citrus fruit, tomatoes, potatoes, and leafy vegetables. Ascorbic acid is important for the skin and connective tissues, for normal chemical and hormonal production, and for the immune system.

Carbonyl iron is a form of the mineral iron. Iron is important for many functions in the body, especially for the transport of oxygen in the blood.

Icar-C is a combination vitamin/mineral supplement that helps your body better absorb iron from your diet.

Icar-C may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
