Our Wholesome Iron is made with ferrous bisglycinate, a gentle, highly absorbable & bioavailable form of iron that is generally well tolerated.* Each capsule provides 13.5 mg of elemental iron, allowing for a flexible serving based on your individual needs.

Iron needs can vary significantly based on factors such as diet, life stage & iron status. The best way to understand your individual iron needs is through blood testing & guidance from your healthcare provider.

The suggested serving of our Wholesome Iron is 1–2 capsules daily, preferably on an empty stomach & away from other supplements, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

General serving guidance based on ferritin levels: Below 12 ng/mL – 4 capsules daily; 12–25 ng/mL – 3 capsules daily; 25–60 ng/mL – 2 capsules daily; 60–75 ng/mL – 1 capsule daily.

These are generalized educational guidelines. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate amount for your individual needs.

For optimal absorption, we recommend taking our Wholesome Iron on an empty stomach when tolerated, approximately 1–2 hours before a meal & away from other supplements. Calcium, dairy, coffee & tea can interfere with iron absorption, so we suggest separating these from your iron when possible.

Vitamin C supports iron absorption,* so our Wholesome Iron can also be taken with a source of vitamin C.

Follow your healthcare provider's guidance regarding the amount & timing of your iron supplementation. Depending on your individual needs, they may recommend taking your full serving at one time or using an every-other-day dosing schedule. These approaches may help support iron absorption by allowing time for hepcidin, a hormone involved in regulating iron absorption, to decrease between doses.

We intentionally keep iron separate for two reasons: absorption & individual needs. Iron needs vary widely, particularly during pregnancy & postpartum. Some women need more, some need less & others may not need supplemental iron at all.

Keeping our Wholesome Iron separate allows you to personalize your serving based on your individual needs, labs & stage of life. It also allows you to take iron separately from other vitamins & minerals and, when tolerated, on an empty stomach to support optimal absorption.
