Iron Bisglycinate

Take 1-2 capsules daily or as advised by your healthcare practitioner. For best absorption,

Pre-conception & Pregnancy Blend or Advanced Powder, take your iron at the opposite time
of day for optimal results.

Yes, we always recommend getting your iron levels checked via a blood test before starting
supplementation. Iron requirements vary from person to person, and it's important to know

so it's always best to tailor your dose to your individual needs.

We use Ferrochel® (Ferrous Bisglycinate) a patented, clinically tested form of iron that is
significantly more bioavailable than standard iron supplements. It's also much gentler on the
stomach, meaning fewer of the digestive side effects (like constipation or nausea) that put so

Iron competes with other nutrients like calcium for absorption. Taking iron separately from
your prenatal supplement means your body can absorb both more effectively. We
recommend taking them at opposite times of day for the best results.

Everyone is different, but most people start to notice improvements in energy and fatigue

levels are improving, a follow-up blood test after a couple of months is a great idea.

significantly during pregnancy, so supplementing is often necessary but always base your
dose on a blood test result and check with your doctor or midwife first.
