Additional information

Iron is a component of haemoglobin, so it’s essential for the formation of red blood cells. Haemoglobin transports oxygen to the body’s cells and helps maintain energy levels and immune function. Like iron, vitamin B12 supports the formation of healthy red blood cells and plays an important role in energy metabolism.

Many New Zealand women don’t obtain the recommended amount of iron from their diets, and this situation may be exacerbated by the increased iron requirements of pregnancy.

Pregnant women may particularly benefit from the extra nutritional support of Blackmores Bio Iron, since foetal formation increases the mother's need for folic acid and vitamin B12 as well as iron.

Supplementation with folic acid is recommended for at least one month prior to conception and for the duration of the pregnancy to support the healthy development of baby's nervous system.

Blackmores Bio Iron contains ferrous fumarate, a gentle form of iron, which should not cause gastric irritation or constipation when used as directed. Vitamin C is included to support the optimal absorption of iron.
