Ferronyl® IronUpdated 2 days ago
Why does Vitals⁺ include Iron?
Iron is essential for producing red blood cells and haemoglobin, which carry oxygen throughout the body. It also supports energy, focus, and the immune system—but getting the right amount can be tricky, especially for women and those on plant-based diets.
Vitals⁺ includes 5mg of Ferronyl® iron, providing 36% of your daily recommended intake (NRV). It’s a highly absorbable form of elemental iron—gentle on the stomach and effective, especially when paired with Vitamin C (also in Vitals⁺).
🤔 What does Iron actually do?
Iron plays an important role in many bodily functions:
Supports the normal formation of haemoglobin, vital for oxygen transport
Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, by enabling cellular energy production
Contributes to cognitive and immune function, especially during periods of rapid growth or stress
Keeps your metabolism and enzymes working efficiently
EFSA's scientific review confirms iron is required for everything from oxygen transport and energy metabolism to oxidase enzyme function and electron transfer.
🤔 Why Ferronyl®?
We use Ferronyl®, a fine-particle form of elemental iron known for excellent bioavailability and digestive tolerance. This is especially important because traditional iron salts (like ferrous sulphate) can cause side effects in sensitive stomachs.

🤔 Why a 5mg dose?
Our 5mg dose was carefully chosen to give meaningful support without overloading, particularly or people already getting some iron from food. According to EFSA, typical dietary needs range from:
11mg/day for adult men and postmenopausal women
16mg/day for premenopausal women, due to menstrual losses
Vitals⁺ supports these needs alongside a balanced diet, while avoiding the risk of excess.
