Ingredients explained
Iron (as fermented iron bisglycinate)
Iron is incorporated into haemoglobin and enzymes, which may support oxygen transport and energy metabolism.
Caution: High intakes may cause stomach upset or constipation in some people; keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Folate (as folic acid)
Folate acts as a cofactor in one‑carbon metabolism, which supports red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis.
Caution: High-dose folic acid can mask vitamin B12 insufficiency, so prolonged use should consider B12 status.
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 supports methylation and red blood cell maturation through its role in DNA synthesis.
Caution: Very rare sensitivity is possible; those with low stomach acid may absorb B12 better when taken regularly.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non‑heme iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals when taken on an empty stomach.
Organic Beetroot
Beetroot naturally provides nitrates and phytonutrients that may support blood flow and general wellness.
Caution: May temporarily colour urine or stools due to natural pigments.
How they work together
Iron bisglycinate provides a gentle, bioavailable form of iron, while vitamin C may enhance its absorption in the intestine. Folate and vitamin B12 work in DNA synthesis and red blood cell maturation, complementing iron’s role in oxygen transport. Beetroot adds phytonutrients that may support overall circulatory wellness.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be fatal in children under six. Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, contact a doctor or poison control immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics or levodopa may need to separate iron by at least 2 hours as iron may reduce absorption. Those with a history of iron overload should seek personalised advice. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and people with chronic health conditions may wish to discuss suitability with a healthcare professional.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool place and avoid moisture. Once opened, consume within three months.
