★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
Iron and Vitamin C Capsules give you iron as ferrous bisglycinate, the form least likely to upset the stomach, with the vitamin C that helps it absorb. Each capsule provides 15mg of iron and 400mg of vitamin C, taken once a day with a meal. One pot holds 90 capsules, which is a 90 day supply.
Benefits of taking iron
Iron is the mineral your red blood cells use to carry oxygen, so running low on it is one of the commonest reasons for feeling tired. Vitamin C increases how much of the iron you absorb.
- Energy levels pick up as tiredness and fatigue ease.
- Red blood cells and haemoglobin keep forming as they should.
- Oxygen gets carried around the body properly.
- Your immune system gets the iron it relies on.
Who benefits
Iron and Vitamin C Capsules are most useful for:
- People whose ferritin has tested low.
- Anyone who found other forms of iron hard on the stomach or who got constipated on them.
- Those who want one capsule a day they can keep up as a habit, taken with a meal.
What is in it
Each capsule provides 15mg of iron as ferrous bisglycinate, which is 107% of the daily reference value, plus 400mg of vitamin C as ascorbic acid, which is 500%. There is nothing else in it apart from the vegetable capsule shell. Gentle iron and chelated iron with vitamin C are other names for it.
How to take it
Take one capsule once a day with a meal. Bisglycinate absorbs well with food, unlike ferrous sulphate, so there is no need to take it on an empty stomach. Keep tea, coffee, dairy and calcium supplements at least two hours away from it, which goes for zinc too.
Diet and allergens
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
What is the difference between ferrous bisglycinate and ferrous sulphate?
Ferrous sulphate and fumarate are the forms in most high street iron, where the free iron they release is what upsets the stomach and causes constipation for many people. Bisglycinate is iron bound to glycine, so it passes through the gut in a form that is absorbed well and is the least likely to cause those effects.
How much iron should I take a day?
Take one capsule a day, which gives you 15mg of iron. Iron is for a tested low level, so after three months a follow up blood test for ferritin and haemoglobin will show whether to continue, adjust or stop.
When is the best time to take iron?
With a meal, at any time of day, keeping it at least two hours away from tea, coffee, dairy or calcium, which cut absorption.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes, as long as you leave a gap. Zinc competes with iron for absorption, so take Zinc Picolinate Capsules at least two hours apart from it.
Does iron cause constipation?
Some forms do, because of the free iron they release. Bisglycinate is the gentle form, while the vitamin C in the capsule plus plenty of water help further.
How long does iron take to work?
Give it three months, which is the usual interval before a retest. One pot of 90 capsules covers that.

Frequently asked questions
What is Iron & Vitamin C good for?
Iron & Vitamin C supports energy levels, oxygen transport, and cognitive function.
When should I take iron?
Take on an empty stomach with vitamin C. Separate from tea/coffee by 2 hours.
How long until iron levels improve?
Energy improvements begin within 2-4 weeks. Full restoration takes 3-6 months.
Why does iron cause constipation?
Some forms irritate the gut. Bisglycinate is gentler. Taking with vitamin C and staying hydrated helps.
Can I take too much iron?
Yes, iron can accumulate. Only supplement if blood tests confirm deficiency. Retest after 3 months.
Ferrous bisglycinate or ferrous sulphate and fumarate: what is the difference?
Ferrous sulphate and ferrous fumarate are the forms in most prescriptions and high street iron; they work, but the free iron they release is what upsets the stomach and causes constipation for many people. Ferrous bisglycinate is iron bound to glycine, so it passes through the gut in a form that is absorbed well and is the least likely to cause those effects. This capsule gives 15 mg of iron as bisglycinate with 400 mg of vitamin C, which raises absorption. Choose it if other iron has not suited you; whichever form you take, iron is for a tested low level, taken away from tea, coffee and calcium.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
