Product description

Introducing Active Iron Pregnancy, a non-constipating iron supplement that is suitable throughout pregnancy and during breastfeeding.

Active Iron Pregnancy supports iron levels throughout pregnancy and is specially formulated to help prevent constipation. Active Iron Pregnancy is clinically proven to have x2 better absorption than the gold standard iron supplement, ferrous sulfate*.

Iron in Pregnancy

There is an increased need for iron when pregnant. During this time, the amount of blood in your body increases by 30-50%. This increases the requirement for iron and vitamins in your body as they are needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen to other cells in your body.

Iron is essential to life, especially during pregnancy. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and also plays an important role in normal energy metabolism, cognitive function and immune function.

Research shows that many women do not have sufficient iron in their diet to meet their daily needs and this is also true during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters.

Why Is Active Iron Pregnancy Different?

Active Iron targets the body’s ‘natural iron absorber’ the DMT-1. It is clinically proven to give x2 better iron absorption than the market-leading iron sulphate and works in tune with your body’s needs.

Active Iron’s advanced protein formulation is non-constipating, reduces gut irritation and inflammation which can reduce unwanted side effects such as constipation, nausea, reflux and flatulence.

Active Iron Pregnancy is gentle enough to be taken on an empty stomach. It can be taken with water or fruit juice. You should avoid taking Active Iron Pregnancy with milk, caffeine or antacids (indigestion remedies).

Is Active Iron Pregnancy For Me?

Active Iron Pregnancy supports iron levels throughout pregnancy. Is suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Iron supplements could benefit pregnant women who are unable to meet their dietary iron requirements. However, food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Also, you should not exceed the recommended daily supplement dose of iron without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.
