Iron for Energy.
Iron Supplements to Support Energy Levels
Struggling with low energy or fatigue? Tiredness isn’t always just about how we sleep; it is one of the most common symptoms of low iron. Iron is essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body, but we do not produce it ourselves. Without consuming enough iron through our diet or supplements, we can easily lose energy, feel weak, or struggle with concentration.
Active Iron, a source of iron, helps boosts energy sustainably and is clinically proven to increase iron levels by 94%*. This, in turn, may enhance physical and mental performance while supporting a healthy immune system.

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.
