Iron
Iron is the foundation of oxygen transport in the body. It contributes to normal red blood cell and haemoglobin formation, to normal oxygen transport in the body, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal function of the immune system. Oxygen is performance, here and now.
Here you will find iron in gentle, well-absorbable forms that don't burden digestion unnecessarily. All with clean formulas free of unnecessary additives.

Good to know
- Gentle forms – chelated iron (bisglycinate) absorbs well and tends to be far gentler on digestion than older sulphate forms.
- Vitamin C as a partner – vitamin C increases iron absorption, which is why the two are often taken together.
- Who has higher needs – typically women, endurance athletes and people on a predominantly plant-based diet.
Frequently asked questions
When should I take iron?
It absorbs best on an empty stomach, but take it with a small meal if your digestion is sensitive. Coffee and tea reduce absorption, so keep a gap between them.
What should I not combine iron with?
Calcium and higher doses of zinc can reduce absorption. Spread your minerals across different parts of the day.
Should I take iron preventively?
Supplement iron with purpose, ideally based on blood tests and a consultation with your doctor, and always at the recommended dosage.
