Iron and Folic Acid is an effervescent tablet with iron as ferrous ascorbate or iron bisglycinate, folic acid and vitamin C, dropped into a glass of water. It is made for women's health brands whose customers find iron tablets hard on the stomach or dislike their metallic taste.
Iron and folate are the two nutrients women of childbearing age most often need more of, and vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. A flavoured drink hides the metallic taste that puts many women off iron pills.
You choose the flavour from orange, berry or lemon, the sweetener, the tube count and the carton, and you can use methylfolate as a small change. Effervescent tablets break down in humid air, so we press them in a low humidity room and pack them in tubes with a desiccant cap. Iron products must carry the FDA warning about accidental overdose in children under 6, and we recommend a child resistant cap. Every lot is tested by an independent ISO 17025 lab for iron and folate potency, heavy metals and microbiology.
