Ingredients explained
Iron (as Ferrochel bis-glycinate chelate)
Iron is incorporated into haemoglobin and enzymes, supporting oxygen transport and cellular energy production.
Caution: High intakes may cause stomach upset or constipation; keep away from children due to risk from accidental ingestion.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C can reduce ferric to ferrous iron in the gut, which may enhance non-haem iron absorption.
Caution: May cause mild stomach discomfort in some people, especially on an empty stomach.
Folate (folic acid)
Folate provides methyl groups for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation.
Caution: High intakes may mask signs of low vitamin B12; keep total intake within recommended amounts unless advised otherwise.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in red blood cell production and one‑carbon metabolism.
Caution: People with low stomach acid or strict vegan diets may have variable absorption and could need consistent intake.
How they work together
Iron supplies the core mineral for oxygen transport, while vitamin C supports its uptake in the intestine. Folate and vitamin B12 contribute cofactors for healthy red blood cell production, complementing iron’s role in haemoglobin formation.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6; in case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control centre immediately.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medication, certain antibiotics, or levodopa, as iron may reduce their absorption; separate dosing by at least 2 hours. Individuals with iron overload conditions should seek personalised advice. If you take medications that may interact with iron, it is generally advised to discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Keep out of the reach of children.

Overview
- Albion Minerals
- Gentle On the Stomach
- Dietary Supplement
- Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans
Iron is particularly important to vegans. While iron can be obtained from plant foods, it is not as efficiently absorbed by the body as iron from animal sources. Vegan True® Iron Support™ contains ferrous bisglycinate chelate, which research suggests may be more bioavailable than other forms of iron such as ferrous sulfate. Studies show that ferrous bisglycinate chelate helps increase and maintain blood levels of iron, while being gentle on the stomach and intestines. Folic acid and vitamin B-12 have been included for additional support, along with ascorbic acid, which helps increase the absorbability of iron. Vegan True Iron Support does not contain any animal products or animal-derived ingredients.
