Vitabiotics Ultra Iron 30 Tablets is a once-a-day food supplement that provides 14mg of iron together with vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folic acid. The vitamin C in each tablet increases iron absorption, so you get both nutrients in a single tablet.

Key Features

• 14mg iron per tablet: Each tablet provides 100% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) for iron. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Vitamin C to support iron absorption: Each tablet contains 80mg of vitamin C (100% NRV), which increases iron absorption.
• Vitamin B12 and folic acid included: Each tablet provides 10µg of vitamin B12 (400% NRV) and 200µg of folic acid (100% NRV). Vitamin B12 contributes to normal formation of red blood cells, and iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid all play a role in cell division.
• Slow release tablet: Vitabiotics states that Ultra Iron has a slow release delivery system, which makes the iron available gradually rather than all at once.
• One tablet a day with a main meal: A 30-tablet pack lasts 30 days at the recommended intake, and the tablet is suitable for vegans.
