This easily absorbed iron glycinate is non-constipating and gentle on the digestive system with no metallic after taste. We've blended it with herb, fruit and vegetable juices selected for their nutritive value to aid absorption and support healthy blood cells. Iron Boost is useful for all low iron conditions and an effective plant-based option for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet. Suitable for all ages from 1 year with age-specific doses to be within current dietary guidelines. Also suitable to take while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Take the recommended dose by age group:
Adults: Take 5mls three times per day OR take a
single dose of 15mls once per day if preferred.
Children 1-5 years: 5mls per day.
Children 5-10 years: 5mls twice per day.
Children 10 years and over: 5mls two to three
times per day.
Can be taken long-term.

Herbalist tips
  • Take your dose with a snack or meal that includes Vitamin C such as kiwifruit, citrus fruits, broccoli or tomatoes. Vitamin C helps iron absorption.
  • Best to avoid coffee, caffeinated drinks and foods high in calcium such as dairy products for at least an hour after taking Iron Boost - these are iron inhibitors.
  • Phytates in raw beans, seeds and grains as well as raw legumes such as chickpeas can also inhibit iron absorption. Cook these ones before eating.
  • You could time your dose to combat that mid-afternoon energy low - it will satisfy the craving for something sweet but without the sugar.
  • Monitor your iron levels closely if you're following a vegan diet or getting all your iron from plants - it's more difficult for your body to absorb iron solely from plant sources.

Benefits

Iron is an essential mineral that is required to help transport oxygen around the body. It is a key component of haemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues and organs around the body. Without enough iron, the body can't produce enough haemoglobin, leading to fatigue, weakness and decreased oxygen delivered around the body. Iron is also involved in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency in cells. Iron-containing enzymes play a crucial role in ATP synthesis, which is essential for various cellular processes, including metabolism and enery production. Iron is required for the synthesis and repair of DNA and also plays a role in immune function by supporting the growth and activity of immune cells. During pregnancy, your body requires significantly more iron to support the development of your growing baby - the RDI for iron during pregancy is 27mg per day, up from 18mg per day for non-pregnant women.

Safe while pregnant and breastfeeding.

Always read the label and use only as directed. If taking prescribed medication, consult your health professional before taking this product. If symptoms persist, seek professional medical advice.

Iron amino acid chelate glycinate

Iron is an important component of hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs around the body. Insufficient healthy red blood cells means your body can’t get enough oxygen which can affect energy levels, brain function and immunity. The body’s requirement for iron more than doubles during pregnancy. The chelated form of iron we use is non-constipating.
