ARTAH
ARTAH Essential Iron Complex
Our verdict
A sensible combination if you are replenishing after heavy periods, with folate and B12 alongside the iron. Still a supplement, not a treatment for diagnosed anaemia.
Pros
- +Includes B12 and folate
- +Two-month supply
Cons
- -Not a substitute for prescribed iron in anaemia
Evidence
Iron corrects iron deficiency, which is common in women with heavy periods. It should follow a blood test rather than a guess. Vitamin C corrects a deficiency that is rare in the UK. It helps iron absorption when taken alongside iron.
