Questions? We have answers:

Can I take Vitamin B12 with a Daily Multi-Vitamin supplement?

We do not recommend taking our Gentle Iron & Vitamin C with our award-winning Daily Multi-Vitamin. This is because the two together would provide too much Iron.

If you're requiring Iron, we recommend choosing between our Daily Multi-Vitamin, which includes 15mg Iron and 250mg Vitamin C, alongside 22 other vital nutrients or our Gentle Iron & Vitamin C which has 18mg Iron and 80mg Vitamin C.

Unsure what to choose? We recommend completing your free online Diet Profile created by our expert nutritionists - it takes less than 3 minutes - to see the supplements we recommend you consider. Create your free Diet Profile today.

Is DR.VEGAN® Gentle Iron & Vitamin C allergen free?

Yes, like all our supplements, our Gentle Iron & Vitamin C is free of allergens including Dairy; Lactose; Milk; Gluten; Wheat; Eggs; Sugar; Starch; Soybeans; Fish; Crustaceans; Molluscs; Lupin; Celery; Mustard Tree nuts (including almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, brazil nuts, cashew, pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts); Peanuts; Sesame seeds; Sulphur dioxide and sulphites. 

All our supplements are naturally sourced and plant-based, non-GMO, and free of any artificial sweeteners, preservatives, colourings, binders, fillers, bulking agents or any additives.

Does Vitamin C help with iron absorption?

Yes. Vitamin C is essential for the body to absorb iron and significantly improves how your body absorbs and benefits from iron. Iron absorption from plant foods can be as little as 2-5% but including Vitamin C increases absorption by 10x. That's why we include Vitamin C in our Gentle Iron & Vitamin C formula, using natural Acerola Extract to provide 80mg of Vitamin C.

What is the difference between gentle iron and iron?

There are lots of different forms of iron, and many are not gentle on the stomach. 'Gentle Iron' describes higher-quality forms that don't cause stomach upsets or side effects in the gut. Basic, synthetic iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate are poorly absorbed and may cause issues like nausea, constipation, and diarrhea. The natural and most easily absorbed form of iron is iron bisglycinate.

What is iron bisglycinate?

Iron bisglycinate is the most absorbable form of iron that is gentle on the stomach.

How long do iron supplements take to work?

It depends on lots of factors, including your existing iron levels, the dosage, the form of iron you are taking, if it includes Vitamin C and other nutrients, and your body's natural ability to absorb Iron. Iron supplements may take a few days or a few weeks before you feel a difference. Taking vitamin C in or alongside your iron supplement is important for your body to absorb the iron.

When should you take iron supplements?

Take your iron supplement on an empty stomach. Avoid drinking tea or coffee for 30 minutes before or after taking your iron supplement because they can hinder iron absorption.

What are the symptoms of iron deficiency?

Common symptoms of iron deficiency include tiredness, constant fatigue, shortness of breath, noticeable heartbeats (heart palpitations), and pale skin. Iron deficiency is a common cause of anemia.

What are the benefits of taking iron supplements?

Iron supplements help protect against deficiencies, combat fatigue, and support energy, cognitive function, a healthy mood, and metabolism, and protect against anemia.
