Iron Supplements

Iron is an essential mineral that contributes to several important functions in the body, including normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, normal oxygen transport and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

At Evergreen, you'll find a wide range of iron supplements, including tablets, capsules, gentle iron, bisglycinate, liquid iron and iron tonics from trusted supplement brands.

How to Choose an Iron Supplement

Iron supplements come in different forms, strengths and formats, so the right option can depend on your diet, preferences and individual needs.

When comparing products, consider:

• Type of iron: products may contain forms such as ferrous bisglycinate or other iron compounds.
• Amount of iron: check the quantity provided per recommended daily serving.
• Format: choose between tablets, capsules, liquids, drops, sachets or tonics depending on your preference.
• Additional nutrients: some formulas combine iron with vitamin C, B vitamins or other nutrients.
• Dietary requirements: check whether the product is suitable for vegan, vegetarian or other dietary needs.

If you've been advised to take iron because of low iron levels or a diagnosed deficiency, follow the advice of your doctor or another qualified healthcare professional.

Gentle Iron & Iron Bisglycinate

Some people look for gentle iron supplements because certain iron products can be difficult to tolerate. Iron bisglycinate is a form you'll often see in supplements marketed as gentle or easy to take. As with any iron supplement, it's important to compare the amount of elemental iron provided per recommended daily serving rather than judging the product on the total weight of the compound alone.

Our range includes gentle iron and iron bisglycinate supplements in different strengths and formats.

Iron Tablets, Capsules & Liquid Iron

Iron supplements are available in a variety of formats.

Iron tablets and capsules are a convenient option for everyday use and are available in a range of strengths.

Liquid iron supplements and iron tonics may suit people who prefer not to take tablets or capsules. Some liquid formulas also combine iron with vitamins or herbal extracts.

When comparing formats, check the recommended daily serving and the actual amount of iron provided.

Iron Supplements for Women

Iron requirements can vary throughout life, particularly for women who menstruate, during pregnancy and after menopause.

Rather than choosing a product simply because it is labelled “for women”, compare the amount and form of iron provided and consider your individual diet and circumstances.

If you're pregnant, planning a pregnancy or have been advised that your iron levels are low, speak to your doctor, midwife, pharmacist or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional before choosing a supplement.
