DR.VEGAN Gentle Iron & Vitamin C
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional shortfalls, particularly for women, those on plant-based diets, and anyone with heavy periods or high activity levels. The problem with a lot of iron supplements is that they use cheap forms like ferrous sulphate, which the body struggles to absorb and which are notorious for causing constipation and stomach upset.
DR.VEGAN use iron bisglycinate - a gentler, more bioavailable form that's significantly easier on the digestive system. It's paired with vitamin C from acerola extract (rather than synthetic ascorbic acid) and hesperidin from citrus bioflavonoids, which together can increase iron absorption by up to 10 times compared to iron taken alone.
If you're already taking the DR.VEGAN Daily Multi-Vitamin, it's worth knowing that already contains 15mg iron - so unless your GP has specifically recommended additional iron, you wouldn't normally need both.
- 18mg iron bisglycinate per capsule - gentle on the stomach, no constipation, and significantly better absorbed than standard iron supplements
- Paired with acerola vitamin C and hesperidin (citrus bioflavonoids) for up to 10x greater iron absorption
- Free from all major allergens, additives, gluten, dairy and soya; made in the UK
- Plastic-free, home-compostable packaging
Pack size: 30 capsules (30-day supply)
