Is Iron included?

Iron is not included in any of our blends, and this is a deliberate formulation choice.

Iron requirements vary significantly from woman to woman depending on diet, cycle, blood test results and life stage. Including iron at a fixed dose in a daily blend risks under-supplementing for some women and over-supplementing for others. Too much iron can also cause digestive upset, and iron competes with other nutrients such as calcium for absorption, which can reduce the effectiveness of the overall formula.

For these reasons, we recommend assessing iron levels individually through a blood test and supplementing separately based on your results.

We offer our Iron Bisglycinate as a standalone product for this purpose. It uses Ferrochel®, a clinically studied chelated form of iron that is 4x more bioavailable than standard iron supplements and causes 64% fewer digestive side effects, making it gentle enough for daily use.

Our Iron Bisglycinate can be taken alongside any of our blends and we recommend taking it on an empty stomach, away from tea, coffee and dairy for best absorption.
