    Wild Nutrition Food-Grown Iron Plus

    Our verdict

    Genuinely easier on the stomach than standard iron salts, which is why people stay on it. The dose is low, so it is a maintenance option rather than a way to correct a diagnosed deficiency, which usually needs a prescribed dose.

    Pros

    • +Well tolerated
    • +Vitamin C included

    Cons

    • -Dose too low to correct 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.
