FAQs

How much should I take?
One tablespoon (15 ml) a day with food, which provides 20 mg of iron plus vitamin C, B6, B12 and folate. At that dose the 500 ml bottle lasts about 33 days.

What does it taste like?
It has a natural orange flavour and is sweetened with honey and stevia, so it is far more pleasant than most iron liquids. Taking it with breakfast is an easy way to remember it.
