How do I know if I actually need iron? Get tested. We offer a rapid ferritin test in the pharmacy and full lab iron studies. Pop in rather than guessing.
Why does this not upset my stomach like other iron tablets? It uses iron bisglycinate rather than ferrous sulphate. Bisglycinate is much better tolerated.
My stools have gone dark, is that a problem? No, that is normal and expected with any iron supplement.
Can I take it in pregnancy? Yes, this product is suitable during pregnancy. If you are already on a prenatal multivitamin, bring it in so we can check you are not doubling up on iron.
The magnesium is sourced from the Zechstein seabed in the Netherlands, one of the cleanest natural deposits of magnesium salts in the world, sealed underground for around 250 million years.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the stated dose unless directed by a healthcare practitioner. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescribed medication or under medical supervision, speak to your pharmacist or doctor before use. Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If symptoms persist, please seek advice from your pharmacist or GP. Keep well out of reach of children, as accidental iron overdose is dangerous in young children. Do not take alongside another iron supplement unless advised. Iron can reduce absorption of levothyroxine and some antibiotics, leave at least two hours between doses.
