What is the best form of iron supplement to take?

This product stands out. It is formulated with well tolerated iron bisglycinate (iron chelate). The iron is bound to amino acids making it well absorbed and gentle on the gut, unlike the sulphate form for example which can cause side-effects such as constipation. This form of iron is less likely to be blocked by other nutrients like calcium, or elements of the diet like tea or wholegrains which can impede absorption.

Is iron Complex good for anemia?

While there are several different causes of anemia, iron deficiency tends to be the most common cause. With this in mind, this iron complex may be useful. Pre-menopausal women often have a greater need for iron as it is lost during the monthly cycle. More iron is lost if periods are heavy, which in turn can lead to further depletion, leaving you feeling tired. Iron is needed for red blood cells to be able to deliver oxygen to your cells, as well as a healthy immune system and brain function. If your skin is pale, you feel more tired than normal or breathless after light exercise you may be low in iron.

Women: Take one or two capsules daily ideally in a split dose (only take one capsule if combining with other supplements containing iron).

Men & Children 12+: Take one capsule daily.

Take capsules at least thirty minutes before meals to maximise absorption.
