Iron+ is for anyone who's been told by a provider that they need additional iron support. For women, the most common situations are pregnancy (especially the second and third trimester), heavy menstrual cycles, plant-based diets, and postpartum recovery. For men, it's typically high endurance training, frequent blood donation, or conditions affecting absorption or causing ongoing blood loss. Athletic training and confirmed low ferritin or hemoglobin on labs apply across the board. If you haven't had your iron checked recently, that's a good first step before adding a standalone supplement.

Only if your healthcare provider recommends it based on your labs. WeNatal for Her already contains 18 mg of iron, which is appropriate for most women during preconception and early pregnancy. Adding Iron+ on top without guidance could result in over-supplementation. In the second or third trimester, when iron needs increase, your provider may recommend the combination to bring your total closer to 27 to 36 mg daily, which stays well below the 45 mg upper limit.

Yes, if iron support is part of your routine. Prenatal Protein+ does not contain iron. Pairing one capsule of Iron+ with your daily protein shake gives you the same iron coverage you'd get from WeNatal for Her capsules.

Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate is a chelated form, meaning the iron is bound to the amino acid glycine. That bond protects it through the upper digestive tract so it absorbs efficiently in the small intestine rather than irritating the stomach lining. It's clinically shown to be more bioavailable and significantly better tolerated than ferrous sulfate, the form most commonly found in drugstore supplements.

Pureway® C uses liposomal delivery, which means the vitamin C is encapsulated in small lipid spheres that help protect it as it moves through the digestive tract and support more efficient absorption. This matters because vitamin C enhances non-heme iron absorption, and a form that absorbs well is more useful than one that passes through quickly.

It's much less likely than conventional iron forms. Ferrochel® has been clinically studied for digestive tolerability and shows significantly lower rates of constipation, nausea, and stomach upset compared to ferrous sulfate. Taking it with food also helps.

One capsule daily with food, or as recommended by your healthcare provider. Iron absorbs best when taken separately from calcium-rich foods or supplements, and away from coffee or tea by at least an hour.

Iron+ was formulated with pregnant women in mind, and Ferrochel® has been studied in pregnant populations. That said, additional iron during pregnancy should always be guided by your provider based on your bloodwork. This is a supplement with clinical context, and personalized dosing matters.

Yes. It uses a vegetable capsule and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

No. Most iron supplements, including many high-quality ones, contain rice flour, maltodextrin, or silicon dioxide. Iron+ keeps the label tight: two active ingredients and a vegetable capsule.
