For women and men who want to top up their iron intake in a targeted way, including people on a vegan or vegetarian diet and those who do regular endurance training.

What is in one tablet?

One tablet provides 20 mg of iron (143% NRV) from iron gluconate, 80 mg of vitamin C (100%), 400 µg of folic acid (200%) from calcium L-methylfolate and 5.0 µg of vitamin B12 (200%) as cyanocobalamin.

Why vitamin C is included

Iron from plant foods is absorbed less well than iron from meat. Vitamin C increases iron absorption, which is why it is included in the tablet.

Iron in the diet

Good sources of iron are red meat, pulses, wholegrain products and dark green leafy vegetables. Vitamin B12 is found almost exclusively in foods of animal origin. People on a vegan diet therefore usually pay particular attention to both nutrients.
