Whole Iron + C Grass-Fed Beef Spleen + Camu Camu

This is the most common question we get, and it's exactly why we made it. Most iron supplements use synthetic non-haem iron (like ferrous sulfate), which is poorly absorbed and notorious for causing constipation, nausea and that metallic aftertaste.

Whole Iron + C uses haem iron from real grass-fed beef spleen, the form your body absorbs most easily and gently. Because it works like food rather than a synthetic isolate, most people find it far kinder on the stomach.

If you have a particularly sensitive gut, splitting your capsules across the day can feel even gentler.

Yes. Whole Iron + C is formulated with mothers and little ones in mind, and reviewed by our in-house GP, Dr Mitch. Iron needs rise significantly through pregnancy and postpartum, and this is a gentle, wholefood way to help rebuild depleted stores.

That said, iron is one thing worth keeping an eye on with your care team. If you're on a prescribed iron plan or your GP or midwife is already managing your levels, show them our ingredient list so your total daily intake stays in a comfortable range.

It comes down to how well your body absorbs it. Haem iron (from animal sources) is absorbed at roughly 15 to 35%, while the non-haem iron used in most supplements and prenatals absorbs at only about 2 to 20%, and is far more affected by what else you eat.

Whole Iron + C is haem iron from grass-fed beef spleen, paired with organic camu camu for natural vitamin C, which further supports absorption. You get more usable iron, more gently.

Yes, from 12 months and up. For little ones, open 1 to 2 capsules and stir the powder straight into food. It has a mild, savoury taste that blends easily into smoothies, purees, pasta sauce, yoghurt or baking.

As with any iron supplement, keep it out of reach of children and stick to the recommended amount. If your child has been diagnosed with low iron, it's worth checking the right dose with your GP.

For adults, 3 capsules daily, with or without food. Adjust to your individual needs.

For infants and children 12 months and over, 1 to 2 capsules opened into food daily.

If you're rebuilding stores during pregnancy or postpartum, the full 3 capsules a day is a good place to start.

In most cases, yes. But because many prenatals already contain iron, it's worth checking your combined daily intake so you're not doubling up more than you need.

The simplest approach is to show both labels to your GP or midwife, especially if your prenatal is a high-dose or prescription formula. They can confirm the combined amount sits comfortably for you.

You can take it with or without food, whatever feels best for your stomach. Because each serve already includes camu camu (a natural source of vitamin C), the absorption boost is built in.

One tip: tea, coffee and calcium can reduce iron absorption, so it's best not to take your iron at the exact same time as your morning coffee or a big dairy-based meal. Spacing them an hour or so apart helps.

The capsules themselves are easy to swallow whole. If you'd rather open them (or you're dosing a little one), the powder has a mild, savoury taste that disappears into most foods.

Stir it into smoothies, purees, pasta sauce, bolognese, porridge or baking. It's an easy way to get iron into a fussy eater without a fight.

No. Whole Iron + C is an animal-sourced product by design. The haem iron comes from grass-fed beef spleen, and the capsule itself is made from bovine gelatin.

This is exactly what makes it so absorbable, haem iron is the form found in animal foods. If you follow a plant-based diet, this one won't be the right fit.

Iron stores rebuild gradually, so this is about consistency rather than an overnight fix. With daily use, many people start to feel improvements in energy over a number of weeks.

The best way to track real change is a blood test with your GP to check your ferritin and iron levels before and after a few months of consistent use.
