Ingredients explained
Iron (as fermented iron bisglycinate)
Iron supports haemoglobin and myoglobin formation, helping red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body.
Caution: High iron intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort; keep away from children due to risk of accidental overdose.
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 is required for red blood cell formation and helps recycle folate in methylation pathways.
Caution: High potency supplements may mask certain nutrient imbalances; consult a professional if you follow a strict vegan diet or have absorption concerns.
Folate (as folic acid)
Folate donates one-carbon units for DNA synthesis and red blood cell production.
Caution: Excess folic acid may mask signs of vitamin B12 insufficiency; those with specific methylation considerations may prefer professional guidance.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-haem iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals; taking with food or water can improve comfort.
Organic Beetroot
Beetroot provides natural nitrates and polyphenols that may support healthy blood flow and general vitality.
Caution: May temporarily affect urine or stool colour; this is generally harmless.
How they work together
Iron supplies the core mineral for oxygen transport, while vitamin C supports its absorption in the intestine. Folate and vitamin B12 work together in red blood cell formation and methylation. Beetroot adds plant compounds that may complement circulatory and energy-related functions.
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 centre immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics or levodopa may need to separate iron by at least two hours due to reduced absorption. Those with iron overload conditions or who are advised to limit iron should seek personalised guidance. If you use medications that may interact with iron, it is generally advised to consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool place and avoid moisture. Use within three months after opening. Do not use if the seal under the cap is broken or missing.
