At Active Iron, we aim to provide the best possible support for your health, especially during pregnancy and beyond into the postnatal period. With this in mind, we have an important update regarding our Active Iron Pregnancy range.

We have made the decision to discontinue our Active Iron Pregnancy product as there are other products within our range that offer more appropriate support for pregnancy with a slightly higher dosage of elemental iron.

During pregnancy, the amount of blood in your body increases by up to 50%. This increases the requirement for iron as it is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen around your body.

We are recommending Active Iron Advance 25mg for those looking for an iron-only product in pregnancy, and Active Iron Pregnancy Plus for those looking for a complete nutritional solution for mum & baby.

 

Why Active Iron Advance?

Active Iron Advance offers the same great formula in a higher 25mg dose to fulfil the increased iron requirements during pregnancy. It is specially formulated to help avoid side effects such as nausea and constipation, making it kind on the stomach while also being strong enough to increase iron levels.

Active Iron Advance is clinically proven to increase iron levels by 94% in 6 weeks*, making it a comfortable and more effective iron supplement for expectant mothers.

 

Why Active Iron Pregnancy Plus?

Active Iron Pregnancy Plus is a unique combination product containing:

  1. Non-constipating 25mg Active Iron capsule, clinically proven to increase iron levels and help avoid gut irritation from iron*.
  2. Specially formulated complete multivitamin tablet, that includes 20 essential vitamins and minerals for pregnancy, such as l-methylfolate and vitamin D.
  3. Sustainably sourced omega 3-DHA fish oil capsule.

Active Iron Pregnancy Plus offers the complete nutritional solution for mum & baby.

 

New Clinical Study

To continue supporting our claims on Active Iron, in 2024 we initiated a brand new clinical study with pregnant women. This study, conducted in partnership with Ulster University, will focus on the impact of iron supplementation during pregnancy, and the benefits of early intervention of iron supplementation on outcomes for mum & baby. The study will centre around the 25mg dose which is used in Active Iron Advance & Active Iron Pregnancy Plus.
