Active Iron
Active Iron is a clinically proven iron supplement designed to be gentle on the stomach. It features a unique whey protein formulation that protects the iron from stomach acid, targeting its release in the small intestine where iron is naturally absorbed. This helps minimize common gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, constipation, and abdominal pain.
Dosage by Body Weight
Adults, pregnant individuals, and children over 12 years: Take one capsule daily with water or fruit juice. Best taken on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before food or 2 hours after) for optimal absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
