Celivites Blood Health Supplement
Blood Health is an adult supplement for iron and other blood related deficiencies that supports healthy red blood cell development.
The Blood Health Advantage
- A targeted, precisely designed multivitamin and multi-mineral iron supplement containing the most advanced ingredients available to combat the effect of iron deficiencies on red blood cell health.
- Iron supplied in chelated form for maximum absorption and to protect against gastrointestinal side effects.
- Supplies iron, folic acid, and B-12 in a single daily dose – everything you need for red blood cell support.
- Each vitamin and mineral is supplied only as the premium ingredient, undiluted by lesser forms.
- Thoughtful ingredient choices allow Blood Health, Body Health, and Bone Health to be taken as a system or individually without creating toxicity.
Each ingredient contained within CeliVites Blood Health was purposefully selected. To learn more about each ingredient, click the tabs below.
The iron in our Blood Health formula is in chelated form, ferrous bisglycinate (Ferrochel®), with remarkable bioavailability of up to 75%. This form of iron is absorbed up to three times better than ferrous sulfate. Ferrochel® is safe, as with other forms of iron, absorption is inversely correlated with hemoglobin levels (hemoglobin is a proxy for iron stores in the blood). Ferrochel® is also easy on the digestive system; When 30 mg of ferrous bisglycinate was given for 8 weeks there were zero digestive complaints.

Vitamin B12 is necessary for red blood cell formation and neurological function. Those suffering from malabsorption due to celiac or other intestinal diseases may be deficient in Vitamin B12. Blood Health by Celi•Vites provides 100% of the daily value as the active, Body Ready or coenzyme form, methylcobalamin.

Folate is important for red blood cell development and in the regulation of homocysteine. Adequate folate supports healthy fetal development and during lactation it supports the developing infant. 100% of the daily value for folic acid is provided as [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (Quatrefolic®) or 5-MTHF. This is the coenzyme form of folic acid bypassing the necessity of metabolism by the body. In a clinical study with 144 women, the change in plasma and red blood cell folate concentration over time was greater when administered 5-MTHF than folic acid. Due to genetic variation, some people cannot convert folic acid into 5-MTHF.

100% of vitamin B2 is provided as riboflavin 5’-phosphate, the active coenzyme form. Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is required for metabolism of homocysteine; specifically, it is required as an enzymatic cofactor for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Approximately 12% of healthy white people have a genetic variant of MTHFR (677C-T, thermoliable or TT genotype) that is less active. Evidence from in vitro studies suggests that reduced activity of MTHFR is due to instability of the interaction with its riboflavin cofactor. In a clinical study, among those with the 677C-T genotype, those in the lowest tertile of riboflavin had higher levels of plasma homocysteine, a risk factor for development of coronary artery disease. The authors conclude that in addition to folate, riboflavin requirements should be considered by government sponsored food fortification programs to prevent hyperhomocysteinemia*. Currently there are no governmental requirements for fortification of gluten free cereal and grain products.
*McNulty, H. et al. (2002) Impaired functioning of thermolabile methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase is dependent on riboflavin status: implications for riboflavin requirements. Am J Clin Nutr 76:436-41. PMID: 12145019
To increase iron absorption and utilization, 200% of the daily value of Vitamin C is provided as PureWay-C®, an advanced form. It has long been known that vitamin C facilitates uptake of iron from the diet. It has recently been reported that vitamin C increases cellular uptake of iron bound to transferrin, a protein that carries iron within the blood stream.

Q : What is Ferrochel® and why is it beneficial?
A : Ferrochel® is a patented, chelated form of iron from Albion labs with three times the bioavailability of ferrous sulfate. Compared to ferrous sulfate, the Ferrochel® form of iron more closely resembles iron found in food and is therefore better absorbed across the intestinal tract. At Gluten Free Therapeutics we always choose the most absorbable, safest form of our ingredients.

Q : What form of folic acid is used in Blood Health?
A : Our choice of folic acid is an example of the thoughtful formulation behind CeliVites. Approximately 12% of the healthy white population has a genetic polymorphism that reduces the activity of MTHFR required to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF. Therefore, all of the folic acid in the CeliVites line is in the form of 5-MTHF. This is good for you because 5-MTHF does not require enzymatic conversion by MTHFR, and is therefore readily available for downstream utilization by the body. Both the Blood Health and Body Health supplements contain 5-MTHF – each at 100% daily value (400 mcg).
