Help support your energy levels with Active Iron today.
Iron is essential for energy, as it helps transport oxygen throughout the body. Adequate iron levels ensure optimal oxygenation of cells, promoting energy production and helping to prevent tiredness & fatigue. Iron also plays a role in supporting cognitive function and a healthy immune system.



ACTIVE IRON IS 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 ground breaking whey protein formula protects the Iron from oxidation in the stomach and carries the Iron to the natural site of absorption, the DMT-1. As a result, Active Iron is highly absorbed compared to other iron supplements¹, making it gentle on the stomach and clinical results have shown that it increases iron levels by 94%².
