What Our Customers Say.

“I live a busy life and like most people I am juggling lots, so having something that supports me on a daily basis is so important to function to the level I want to. Active Iron has had a profound effect on me during my menstrual cycle as it helps support my iron and energy levels throughout the month. I need to maintain high levels of intense training and it’s critical I don’t have a monthly dip in performance due to my iron and energy levels.”

Rachael Burford

“For years I really struggled with my iron levels. I tried so many iron supplements but couldn’t stomach any of them. Active Iron has been a complete game changer for me. Its Kind & Strong formula doesn’t irritate my stomach and keeps my iron levels topped up so I have all the energy I need to get through my hectic training schedule.”

Aifric Keogh

Irish Rower & Olympic Medalist

“I am an active exerciser and follow a largely plant-based diet so have previously suffered with low iron levels, feeling tired and fatigued constantly. I tried so many other brands of iron supplements but all had different side effects. As soon as I started taking Active Iron I knew it was a game changer. Just one capsule a day and zero side effects. Most importantly I feel more like myself and have the energy to do the things that I love.”

How is Active Iron Different?

Most iron supplements dissolve in the stomach. This can lead to oxidation and gut inflammation, which can lead to common side effects associated with iron supplements, such as constipation and nausea. Active Iron is different. Its groundbreaking whey protein formula reduces oxidation, helping to protect the gut from inflammation and targets the right place for absorption, the DMT-1. As a result, Active Iron is highly absorbed compared to ferrous sulfate, making it gentle on the stomach and clinical results have shown that it increases iron levels by 94%¹.

FAQs.

What are the benefits of iron supplements?

Iron supplementation can help increase energy levels, reduce tiredness & fatigue.

How much iron do I need per day?

Having the correct amount of iron depends on several factors such as gender, age, and diet².

  • Men over the age of 18 need 8.7mg of iron a day.
  • Women of childbearing age, between 19-50, need 14.8mg of iron a day.
  • During pregnancy, the need for iron increases to 30mg a day.
  • Menopausal women aged over 50 need 8.7mg of iron a day.
When is the best time of day to take iron supplements?

Iron supplements work best when taken on an empty stomach, so it is recommended to take your Active Iron tablet first thing in the morning. Active Iron should be taken 1 hour before meals, or 1-2 hours after a meal. If you have a particularly sensitive stomach, it may be best to take your iron supplements after a meal.

What is the best way to take iron supplements?

Many iron supplements recommend taking iron alongside a glass of orange juice, as Vitamin C acts as a natural enhancer of iron absorption. Active Iron’s superior formulation means that it does not need to be taken with such enhancers, although it is perfectly safe to be taken alongside a glass of orange juice if that is your preference. You should avoid taking Active Iron with milk, caffeine, or antacids (indigestion remedies).

One capsule of Active Iron should be taken daily. Do not exceed the daily dose without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. Remember, food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
