The number of complications associated with having inadequate iron is rather concerning, but there are many ways that we can support women and prevent inadequate iron levels from developing. We recommend Active Iron only to those who are at risk of developing inadequate iron levels (i.e those with regular periods, pregnant, vegetarians, heavy exercisers) or have known inadequate iron levels. Remember, food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. How much iron should a woman take daily? Iron is an essential mineral, meaning our bodies need it for optimal health. However, iron is not produced by the body and that is why it’s important to get enough iron from our diet on a daily basis. Inadequate iron levels is a global problem affecting 2 billion people worldwide, with 1 in 4 women impacted. A woman’s iron needs change over her lifetime with menstruating women, endurance athletes, pregnant and postpartum women having a greater need for iron. Active Iron Pregnancy Plus is a great option because it offers a complete nutritional solution for mother and baby, and is recommended by midwives. It is a specially developed, combination product with 21 essential nutrients to provide complete nutritional support to mum and baby throughout pregnancy.Supplements are a really easy and affordable way to bump up your body’s iron levels, without having to break the bank (or break your diet) on rump steak. Our pharmacist advised us to take iron supplements with orange juice, on an otherwise empty stomach. This is because the additional hit of vitamin C helps the iron to absorb completely and efficiently into your bloodstream. A ready supply of OJ is not always convenient, though, so Vitabiotics builds vitamin C into its Ultra Iron tablets. These tablets are designed to release their nutrients slowly across the course of the day, cutting down on the risk of tummy problems.

Active Iron Pregnancy Plus is a specially developed, award winning combination product. It provides the complete nutritional solution for mum & baby, before during, and after pregnancy. Active Iron Pregnancy Plus contains three key components: Monthly periods are the most common cause of iron loss for women. It is estimated that 220 to 250mg of iron per pint of blood is lost during menstruation. According to UK government research (National Diet and Nutrition Survey 2016), almost half the girls aged 11 to 18, and more than a quarter of women aged 19 to 64 in the UK are not getting the minimum intakes of iron recommended for good health. How much iron does a woman need while exercising? Pregnant or breast-feeding women can take one capsule daily (or two capsules per day if advised by your healthcare professional) with water or fruit juice. Active Iron is gentle enough to take on an empty stomach Some women (and men) have iron levels so low that they’re classed as anaemic. If you think you may have anaemia, see your GP for a blood test to show how your iron (ferritin) levels are doing. Prescription iron supplements can be 20 times as strong as the standard iron supplements we recommend below.There are many iron supplements available over the counter. Ferrous sulfate is considered the ‘gold standard’ and is the most commonly recommended form of iron in the UK and Ireland. I’ve tried so many iron products and they’ve either been ineffective or resulted in constipation,” writes one buyer. “But Active Iron actually works with no miserable side effects. I no longer feel constantly tired, and love the fact that it’s gentle enough to take on an empty stomach.” Another woman, who says she suffers from acid reflux and anaemia, writes: “They aren’t the best taste, but I have found these tablets to boost my system without any harsh stomach pains so they deserve 5 stars.”

Adults, pregnant women, and children over 12 years take 1 capsule of Active Iron and 1 Active Multivitamin tablet daily with water or fruit juice.

It’s important to remember that even if you are making a conscious effort to ingest more heme iron, by eating meat, most health authorities recommend a safe upper intake of only 500g of red meat per week. Also, other daily habits like drinking tea and coffee after your meals can reduce iron absorption. You can get iron from food, but it may not be absorbed well, and it may not be sufficient to meet your increased requirements during pregnancy. 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. I live a busy life and like most people I am juggling lots, so having something that supports me on a daily basis is so important to function to the level I want to. Active Iron has had a profound effect on me during my menstrual cycle as it helps support my iron and energy levels throughout the month. I need to maintain high levels of intense training and it’s critical I dont have a monthly dip in performance due to my iron and energy levels.” Rachael Burford A blood test will determine haemoglobin and ferritin (storage iron) levels. Clinical studies have shown that people can increase their iron levels by 94% in 6 weeks with Active Iron*.

Professor Aideen Long is another leading immunologist based at St James’s Hospital Trinity Translational Institute who showed the compounds work by slowing T-cell division. These are the main disease drivers in inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis, but they can proliferate uncontrollably in a related set of malignant diseases termed cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). This product contains ferric iron, as opposed to the more easily absorbed ‘ferrous’ type which all our other recommendations contain. However, the spray delivers iron straight to the bloodstream via the blood-rich membrane of your inner cheek, so it absorbs extremely efficiently. And you don’t have to worry about whether or not to take it with food. A really nifty product. Different supplements contain different types of elemental iron,” says Hussain Abdeh, Superintendent Pharmacist at Medicine Direct. “Ferrous supplements are the most easily-absorbed iron supplements, due to their high solubility. Ferrous sulphate and ferrous fumarate are both very well absorbed.”

When choosing an iron supplement, it is important to consider two factors: how much iron is available for absorption, and how likely the supplement is to cause unpleasant side effects. Iron is perhaps best known for its key role in oxygen transportation. Besides oxygen transportation, iron supports cognitive function, the proper functioning of our immune systems and helps our bodies produce energy and reduces tiredness and fatigue. How much iron do women need? During pregnancy, the amount of blood in your body increases by 30-50%. This increases the requirement for iron in your body as it’s needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen to other cells in your body. Many mums may feel affected by the symptoms of inadequate iron levels during pregnancy, including tiredness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms are not limited to pregnancy, either, meaning women may mistake these symptoms for just the regular exhaustion after birth.
