LIVS Iron Plus Gummies — 20mg Iron with Vitamin C for Absorption Iron supplements have a reputation: metallic, chalky, hard on the stomach. LIVS Iron Plus is a grape-flavored gummy with 20 mg of iron (as ferrous fumarate), paired with Vitamin C to help your body actually absorb it. Vegetarian-friendly, gelatin-free, made on a tapioca base, and Kosher and Halal certified. Two gummies a day. ⚠️ WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately. Because these are flavored gummies, store them somewhere children cannot reach and never refer to them as candy. Why iron needs Vitamin C Iron from plants and supplements is non-heme iron, which your body absorbs less readily than the heme iron in meat. Vitamin C is the practical fix — it converts non-heme iron into a form your body takes up far more easily. That is why Vitamin C is built into this formula rather than sold separately. An iron supplement your body cannot absorb is not doing much for you. Key benefits of LIVS Iron Plus 20 mg of elemental iron: As ferrous fumarate, to support healthy red blood cell formation.

Who tends to need more iron Iron is one of the most common shortfalls worldwide, and some groups are more exposed than others: Women with menstrual cycles, who lose iron monthly. Vegetarians and vegans, since plant iron is non-heme and less readily absorbed. Endurance athletes, whose training increases iron turnover. Frequent blood donors. Iron is one of the few supplements where more is not better. If you are unsure whether you need it, ask your doctor for a simple blood test rather than guessing — see the safety note below.

No. These are naturally grape flavored, with none of the metallic taste iron tablets are known for. That is usually the reason people stop taking iron, so it is the first thing we solved. Are LIVS Iron Plus gummies vegan? They are vegetarian and gelatin-free — set with pectin and tapioca syrup rather than animal gelatin — and they are Kosher and Halal certified. Why is there Vitamin C in an iron supplement? Iron from plants and supplements is non-heme iron, which your body absorbs less readily. Vitamin C converts it into a form that is much easier to take up, so pairing the two meaningfully improves how much iron you actually get. How many should I take? Two gummies daily for adults, and do not exceed that. With iron specifically, more is not better — your body cannot easily clear the excess. Can children take these? Not this one. Iron Plus Adults is formulated for adults. We make a separate LIVS Kids Iron Plus at a dose appropriate for children — please use that instead, and keep both products well out of reach of young children. How do I know if I need an iron supplement? Ask your doctor for a blood test. Iron is one supplement genuinely worth confirming before you start, because excess iron accumulates rather than being flushed out. If you already know you run low, or you fall into one of the higher-need groups above, this is a straightforward way to top up. Can I take these with my multivitamin? Check the label first — many multivitamins already contain iron, and you do not want to double up. If yours does, speak with your healthcare provider about your combined intake. Are these gluten-free? Yes, and dairy-free, and free from milk, eggs and peanuts. They are manufactured in a facility that also processes soy.
