Product Information

Iron supplements provide an easy and convenient way for people to increase their iron intake, but many oral irons on the market are difficult for the body to absorb. Many manufacturers recommend taking their supplements with a source of vitamin C to better aid absorption, although they can still lead to side effects like an upset stomach, constipation, or diarrhoea. Vegetarians and vegans need to eat twice as much iron in their diet as meat-eaters to achieve their RDA. Haem iron from meat and haem iron supplements is more easily absorbed by the body.

Typically, 50% of people stop taking iron as a result of these side effects. A woman’s natural iron regulatory system increases absorption of iron from her diet during times of blood loss. Her normal absorption rate of 1-milligram increases to 1.5–3 milligrams per day. It is the female body’s natural response to blood loss. It can be difficult to meet the increase in iron through diet alone.
