Get tested first
This is the one category where we would rather you did not buy on a hunch. Low iron and iron overload both cause fatigue, and only a blood test tells them apart. Too much iron is genuinely harmful and the body has no way to excrete the excess. Your GP can check it easily. If you are tired, start there.
What does iron do?
Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body, to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal cognitive function, to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and to the normal function of the immune system.
Which form, and why some are gentler
Ferrous sulphate is the cheapest and the hardest on the stomach. Bisglycinate and other chelated forms are widely chosen by people who have found sulphate difficult. Liquid tonics such as Floradix and Spatone supply lower doses in a form many people tolerate more easily. Compare the elemental iron per serving - the Nutrient Reference Value is 14mg, and doses here range from a couple of milligrams to well above the NRV.
Getting the most from it
Vitamin C increases iron absorption, which is why the two are so often combined. Tea, coffee and calcium reduce it, so spacing them apart from your iron by an hour or two is sensible. Keep iron supplements well out of reach of children - iron overdose is one of the more serious accidental poisonings in young children.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
