PLATINUM Easy Iron Extra Gentle (60 caps)

Iron is the mineral many women run low on, and the one most likely to upset a sensitive stomach. PLATINUM EasyIron Extra Gentle delivers 9 mg of iron as bisglycinate in a liquid capsule suspended in cold-pressed olive oil, with folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin C alongside. It suits women with heavy cycles, vegetarians and anyone who has given up on chalky iron tablets.

FAQs

How long does a bottle of EasyIron Extra Gentle last?
One capsule a day is the full adult dose, so the 60-capsule bottle lasts two months. Take it with a meal and space it a few hours away from other medications.

Is EasyIron Extra Gentle vegan?
It is vegetarian rather than vegan. The capsule shell is plant-based hypromellose, but the fill contains beeswax along with olive oil and sunflower lecithin.
