At Active Iron, we aim to provide the best possible support for your health, especially during pregnancy and beyond into the postnatal period. With this in mind, we have an important update regarding our Active Iron Pregnancy range.
We have made the decision to discontinue our Active Iron Pregnancy 17mg product and Active Iron Pregnancy Plus and launched a new and improved Active Iron Pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the amount of blood in your body increases by up to 50%. This increases the requirement for iron as it is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen around your body.
We are recommending Active Iron Advance 25mg for those looking for an iron-only product in pregnancy, and the new Active Iron Pregnancy for those looking for a complete nutritional solution for mum & baby.
Why Active Iron Advance?
Active Iron Advance offers the same great formula in a higher 25mg dose to fulfil the increased iron requirements during pregnancy. It is specially formulated to help avoid side effects such as nausea and constipation, making it kind on the stomach while also being strong enough to increase iron levels.
Active Iron Advance is clinically proven to increase iron levels by 94% in 6 weeks*, making it a comfortable and more effective iron supplement for expectant mothers.
Why Active Iron Pregnancy?
Active Iron Pregnancy provides the essential nutrients mum and baby need throughout each trimester. During pregnancy, your blood volume expands by up to 50% and nutritional requirements increase to support the healthy development of your growing baby. This boosts your requirement for iron and other key nutrients. Active Iron Pregnancy contains non-constipating Active Iron plus a complete time-release multivitamin providing all the key nutrients mum and baby need throughout pregnancy including:
- Iron and B Vitamins (B2, B5, B6, B12 and biotin) to support energy production and help fight tiredness and fatigue
- Iron to support blood building and oxygen transport
- Folic acid as highly absorbable L-methylfolate to help support foetal development **
- Vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc and iron to support immune function
- Vitamin B5 to support mental performance and iron, iodine and zinc to support cognitive function
- Calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin K to support bone and muscle health
- Vitamin B6 to help regulate hormonal activity
- Vitamin E, copper and selenium to help protect cells from oxidation
New Clinical Study
To continue supporting our claims on Active Iron, in 2024 we initiated a brand new clinical study with pregnant women. This study, conducted in partnership with Ulster University, will focus on the impact of iron supplementation during pregnancy, and the benefits of early intervention of iron supplementation on outcomes for mum & baby.
