Tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix?

A food supplement combining organic iron from biochelated spirulina with iron bisglycinate, vitamin C, active folate (Quatrefolic®), vitamin B12, zinc and copper.

Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Most supplements buy spirulina as a commodity powder and then blend a mineral into it. We grow ours in our own closed photobioreactors, which means we control the growing conditions.

The algae take up iron and bind it inside the cell while they are alive. It is part of the organism rather than something added at the end.

Spirulina is well suited to this because it has no cellulose cell wall — the contents of the cell are released readily during digestion, so the algae work as a natural carrier. The formula is then completed with iron bisglycinate, vitamin C, B12, Quatrefolic®, zinc and copper.

One capsule a day, swallowed whole with plenty of water.

Take it one hour before or after food — iron is absorbed better on an empty stomach than alongside a meal.

The iron here is bisglycinate, a chelated form that is generally better tolerated than classic iron salts such as sulphate or fumarate.

Tolerance is still individual. If you feel discomfort, stop taking it and speak to your GP or pharmacist.

It depends on your starting point and varies from person to person. Red blood cells live for around 120 days and iron stores rebuild gradually — which is why consistency over a long enough period matters more than anything else.

Only a blood test gives an objective picture. Ask your GP when it makes sense to take one.

Yes. The capsule is plant-based (HPMC) and none of the ingredients are of animal origin.

No. It uses Quatrefolic® — the fourth-generation, already-active form of folate. That is why it is often chosen by people with reduced MTHFR enzyme activity.

Iron and folate needs are higher during these periods, but the dose should be set individually.

Speak to your GP or midwife before starting.

With other food supplements, usually yes. If you take medication or have a medical condition, check with your GP or pharmacist — iron can interact with certain medicines.

The product is intended for adults. For use in children, consult a paediatrician.

It should not be taken in conditions involving iron accumulation — such as haemochromatosis, haemosiderosis or haemolysis — or if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients.

If in doubt, speak to your GP.

In its original packaging, in a cool dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Processing and delivery together take 6–9 business days. Orders are dispatched from our own facility, where the spirulina is grown, rather than from a third-party warehouse.

Delivery is £3.99, and free with the three-month pack.
