Iron is one of the nutrients I see children fall short on most commonly in clinic, and finding a supplement that's gentle enough on little tummies to actually stay in the routine long-term can be tricky. This one addresses that problem well.
What it is
Iron Immunity is a chewable tropical-flavoured supplement providing iron bisglycinate (5mg elemental iron per tablet), vitamin C from acerola cherry (50mg), vitamin D3 (2.5 micrograms) and Australian bovine lactoferrin (50mg). It's formulated to help maintain iron, vitamin C and vitamin D3 levels in children when dietary intake is inadequate, and to support blood health, energy levels, haemoglobin formation and healthy red blood cell production.
Iron bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron that tends to be gentler on the digestive system than some other forms. The vitamin C here comes from acerola cherry rather than synthetic ascorbic acid, and the lactoferrin is sourced from Australian dairy, where it plays a role in supporting iron transport and absorption.
Why we love it
Iron is something I check on regularly with the families I see, and having a daily maintenance option that's this well formulated is useful. The combination of iron bisglycinate with co-factors that support absorption (vitamin C and lactoferrin) is clinically sensible, and the fact that it's free from artificial colours, flavours and sweeteners makes it easy to recommend for everyday use.
Key features
Iron bisglycinate (5mg per tablet), a bioavailable and stomach-friendly form of iron
Vitamin C from acerola cherry (50mg per tablet) to support iron absorption and immune function
Vitamin D3 (2.5 micrograms per tablet) to support immune system health and general wellbeing
