Extended Product Information

FAQs

How much iron is in each capsule?

Each capsule contains 28mg of iron bisglycinate, which is 200% of the daily recommended intake.

Is this iron supplement suitable for vegetarians?

The product contains iron bisglycinate, folic acid, and vitamin C. The capsule material is not specified, so it's best to check the product packaging or contact the manufacturer if you require vegan or vegetarian-specific information.

How long does it take to feel the effects?

Many users report feeling benefits within 2-4 weeks of consistent daily use, but individual results may vary. It's important to allow time for iron levels to be replenished.

Can I take this with other supplements?

It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before combining supplements. Avoid taking iron supplements with calcium supplements or antacids, as they can interfere with absorption.

What is the difference between iron bisglycinate and other forms of iron?

Iron bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron, meaning it is bound to amino acids. This typically makes it more easily absorbed by the body and gentler on the digestive system, reducing the likelihood of side effects like constipation compared to ferrous sulfate.

What is the benefit of adding Folic Acid and Vitamin C?

Folic acid (Vitamin B9) works synergistically with iron to support red blood cell formation. Vitamin C significantly enhances the absorption of non-heme iron (like iron bisglycinate) in the digestive tract.

What is the expiry date?

The expiry date is typically found on the product packaging. Please refer to your specific bottle.

Troubleshooting

Digestive discomfort (e.g., nausea, stomach ache)

Take the capsule with food. If symptoms persist, try splitting the dose or consult a healthcare professional.

No noticeable improvement in energy levels

Ensure consistent daily intake for at least 2-4 weeks, as it can take time to replenish iron stores. Rule out other potential causes of fatigue with a healthcare provider.

Capsule is difficult to swallow

Try taking the capsule with a larger glass of water or consider alternative iron supplements if swallowing capsules remains an issue.
