Most iron supplements and tablets dissolve and oxidise in the stomach; this can cause unpleasant and sometimes severe gastrointestinal side effects (such as stomach upset and constipation). Active Iron is different, its unique formula provides 2X better absorption*. As a result, more iron is available for the body to absorb, helping to avoid the common side effects of iron**. Dr Anne Marie Byrne (Solvotrin) is coordinating the development of this technology towards clinical trials in collaboration with Enterprise Ireland and Trinity, and expert clinicians in the CTCL field.

Our Story - Active Iron

It can be difficult to get enough iron from food alone, and it’s estimated that between 24-50% of women already have inadequate levels at their booking appointment – the first appointment they have with a midwife. Whilst we can get iron from food, it may not be well absorbed or in the sufficient quantities needed to meet the increased iron requirements at play during pregnancy. Once you develop inadequate iron levels in pregnancy, diet alone can’t increase levels enough. In this case, iron supplementation is recommended. Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best way to ensure you get enough iron – both haem and non-haem. However, sometimes you might need some extra help. Athletes, vegetarians, and pregnant women all have an increased need for iron. Supplementing with iron early in your pregnancy can increase iron levels and avoid the need for high dose oral iron if iron levels deplete further.The ground-breaking technology in Active Iron protects the iron with a special whey layer allowing it to bypass the stomach, where most iron supplements are broken down and oxidised. This means whatever your needs, you will be getting the maximum amount of iron with the satisfaction of reduced side effects. Containing 25mg iron, Active Iron High Potency is clinically proven to increase iron and energy levels, helping to fight tiredness & fatigue¹.
