Why does Better Iron only contain 10 mg of iron, and is that enough?Updated 2 hours ago

Better Iron uses a low-dose, high-efficiency approach.

Many traditional iron supplements contain higher doses (often 18–65 mg) because the body typically absorbs only a small portion of the iron. These higher doses are also more likely to cause digestive discomfort, such as nausea or constipation.

Better Iron uses SloIron®, a plant-based ferritin iron that has been evaluated in human clinical studies and shown to help support iron levels and red blood cell production at lower doses. Its natural ferritin structure allows for more efficient and controlled absorption, which helps reduce the need for high dosing.

Individual needs can vary depending on diet, health status, and current iron levels. If you have a diagnosed iron deficiency or anemia, it’s best to consult your healthcare professional to determine what’s right for you.
