Ferro: all products

Iron is one of the most studied minerals in the field of nutrition and daily well-being. Our selection includes over 70 references — supplements, combined formulas, and specific products for various needs — designed for those who wish to support their intake of this essential mineral. As always, we encourage you to read the labels carefully and consult with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplementation.

How to choose the right iron product for you

Not all iron products are the same: the chemical form of the mineral (ferrous or ferric, bisglycinate, gluconate, fumarate, pyrophosphate) affects the tolerability and characteristics of each supplement. Iron bisglycinate, for example, is often noted for being well-tolerated at the gastrointestinal level, while some traditional forms may be less comfortable for sensitive stomachs. Also consider the dosage per serving indicated on the label and compare it with the reference values provided by European regulations on dietary supplements.

A common mistake is to overlook nutritional associations: vitamin C can enhance the absorption of non-heme iron, which is why many formulas include it. Conversely, calcium and tannins (found in tea and coffee) can interfere with absorption, so it's useful to keep this in mind when choosing the timing of intake. In this collection, you will find both single-ingredient products and multimineral and multivitamin formulas that include iron among the components: choose based on your actual needs, preferably after an assessment with a health professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What formats are available in this collection?

The selection includes capsules, tablets, drops, syrups, and soluble powders, catering to different preferences in terms of practicality and individual tolerability.

Is plant-based iron different from animal-based iron?

Yes: heme iron, of animal origin, is generally absorbed more efficiently by the body compared to non-heme iron of plant origin. Many supplements use synthetic non-heme sources; read the label to know the form used and consult with your pharmacist.

Can I take these products during pregnancy?

The iron requirement can vary significantly during pregnancy. It is essential to consult your doctor or gynecologist before choosing or modifying any supplementation during this period.
