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.
Dose
One capsule daily with food
Key ingredients
Iron (food-grown), Vitamin C
Best for
