Who it is for

For adults who want to top up their iron intake in a targeted way, for example when meat rarely features on the menu. Because of the high amount of iron per capsule, it makes sense to have your own needs checked by a doctor beforehand.

What is in one capsule?

Each capsule contains 21 mg of iron as iron bisglycinate, which is 150% of the nutrient reference value (NRV). It also provides 90 mg of vitamin C from calcium ascorbate (113% NRV). Microcrystalline cellulose serves as a bulking agent; the capsule shell is made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.

Iron and vitamin C in one capsule

In iron bisglycinate, iron is bound to the amino acid glycine. Vitamin C increases iron absorption, which is why both are in the same capsule.

Notes on taking it

The manufacturer recommends taking the capsule with 200 ml of water one hour before eating. Coffee, black tea and dairy products can reduce the absorption of iron from food and are therefore best not drunk together with it.

The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) advises taking iron supplements only after a doctor has checked your iron status.
