An iron supplement built around the gentler chelated form: 25 mg of iron as ferrous bisglycinate per vegan capsule, paired with vitamin C from acerola cherry. Vitamin C increases iron absorption, so the pairing is functional, not decorative.
- 25 mg iron, 179% NRV
- 90 capsules, three months
- Ferrous bisglycinate
- + Vitamin C, acerola
-
The form is the decision. 25 mg of iron as ferrous bisglycinate, a chelated form. Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*
-
The quiet mechanical work. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, and to normal oxygen transport in the body.*
-
Vitamin C, doing a job. From acerola cherry, in the same capsule. Vitamin C increases iron absorption.*
Added with a reason. Here's the thinking.
Why bisglycinate?
Iron is bound to two glycine molecules, a chelated form many people settle on after finding other iron products hard to live with. A form you abandon in week two does nothing for you. This one is chosen to be kept.
Not everyone needs iron. If you haven't had your ferritin checked, ask your GP for a blood test first.
Why this formula
Why is vitamin C in the capsule?
Because vitamin C increases iron absorption*. The acerola cherry is doing the same job a glass of orange juice does in the old advice, without you having to remember the orange juice.
Who is this NOT for?
Iron is one of the few nutrients you can genuinely take too much of, and "tired" has many causes. If your levels are fine, our One Daily Women's Multivitamin already carries a modest daily amount. Add targeted iron when there's a reason, at a dose you know.
Benefit highlights, in full
(unedited field 4, kept for the accordion): - The form is the decision. 25 mg of iron as ferrous bisglycinate, a chelated form. Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue*, and the form is what decides whether you keep taking it long enough to matter. - The quiet mechanical work. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, and to normal oxygen transport in the body*. Unglamorous jobs. The ones you notice only when they're not being done. - Vitamin C, doing a job. From acerola cherry, in the same capsule. Vitamin C increases iron absorption*, which is why it's here and not in a separate bottle. - One capsule. Three months. 90 capsules at one a day. A routine that asks almost nothing of you, which is what routines need to survive.

Questions
How do I know if I need iron?
You often don't, from symptoms alone, and that's the honest answer. Tiredness has many causes. A ferritin blood test through your GP is the reliable way to know; this capsule is for when the answer is yes.
What makes bisglycinate different?
It's iron chelated to two glycine molecules rather than a simple iron salt. It's the form many people move to after other iron products proved hard to stay on, and staying on it is the entire point.
Why is there vitamin C in it?
Vitamin C increases iron absorption, so it's paired in the same capsule. Ours comes from acerola cherry. One capsule carries both, so there's nothing extra to remember.
Is it vegan?
Yes, these are vegan capsules. The full ingredient list on this page is the place to check; nothing is hidden behind a blend name.
Can I take it alongside a multivitamin?
Check the multivitamin's label first. If it already contains iron, add the totals together before deciding. Iron is a nutrient where the combined daily amount matters; your GP or pharmacist can confirm what's sensible for you.
How long until anything changes?
Iron works by steady daily intake over weeks, not days, and a repeat blood test is the real scoreboard. Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue*, but give the routine time and let the numbers, not the mood of one morning, tell you.
What to expect
Days 1 to 14: Nothing dramatic, and that's normal. Iron builds with steady daily intake. Anchor the capsule to the same moment each day and let it become automatic.
Weeks 4 to 8: The routine is doing its quiet work. If your GP suggested a follow-up blood test, that's the honest measure of progress, and worth keeping.
Ongoing: One bottle is three months at one a day. Rebuilding iron stores is a patient business; most people set a reorder rhythm and stop thinking about it.

Our in-house nutrition tip
What I look for in an iron supplement is the form first and the dose second. This one reads the way I want it to: 25 mg as ferrous bisglycinate, a chelated form, with vitamin C from acerola cherry in the same capsule because vitamin C increases iron absorption. One capsule a day is a routine that survives real life. And to be clear about what it is not: it is not a substitute for finding out whether you need iron at all. A ferritin test and your GP come first; this capsule is for when the answer is yes.
