FAQs

I am not pregnant, can I take IronUp®?

IronUp® is a gentle formula containing 24mg of elemental iron. It is suitable for anyone who has been recommended to have iron supplementation at this level.

Is IronUp® safe to take during pregnancy?
Pregnant women are a well recognized group who have higher iron demands. IronUp contains a patented form of iron Ferrochel®, that has been clinically trialed* in pregnant women and shown to be 3-4 times more absorbable than ferrous sulfate [1]. IronUp® is suitable for pregnant women with moderately low iron levels.

Will IronUp® cause constipation or other problems related to iron supplements?
Unlike other forms of iron, the Ferrochel® in IronUp®, does not cause common side effects that are associated with iron supplements, such as metallic taste, nausea, constipation and dark stools. This is because other forms of iron break down in the digestive tract, rather than being completely absorbed in the body. The Ferrochel® in IronUp® passes through the intestine more efficiently, while being less likely to be broken down, therefore having fewer digestive side effects [2,3].

There is already iron in my prenatal multivitamin, do I need to take IronUp® as well?
Before taking iron supplements, it’s a good idea to have your iron levels checked by your doctor, to avoid overloading your system. Depending on your levels and the amount contained in your prenatal multivitamin, you may not need to take an additional source. But if you do, it is worthwhile noting that the level in IronUp® is equivalent to the effects of 48mg of iron sulfate, with fewer digestive issues [4]. So, both the dose and the form iron ingredient are important to consider.
