Iron is an essential mineral that's vital for energy. It contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen around your body, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to normal cognitive and immune function. Most people get the iron they need from a varied diet, but some need more than others.
From iron for women managing heavy periods or pregnancy, to iron for anyone following a plant-based diet, there's a formulation to suit most needs – including tablets, capsules, oral sprays, liquid iron, and gentle formulations for those who find traditional tablets hard to tolerate. If you think your iron may be low, it's always best to speak to your GP, who can arrange a simple blood test before you start a supplement.
