    DR.VEGAN Gentle Iron & Vitamin C

    Our verdict

    The gentler iron form at a low price, which is the combination most women with heavy periods are looking for. Get ferritin checked before starting, and again after three months.

    Pros

    • +Gentle form
    • +Vitamin C included
    • +Low cost per day

    Cons

    • -Requires a blood test to be used sensibly

    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.

    Dose

    One capsule daily, ideally away from tea and coffee

    Key ingredients

    Iron bisglycinate, Vitamin C

    Best for

    • · Confirmed low ferritin
    • · Heavy periods, after testing
    • · Taking alongside iron

    Not for
