19 mg + 400 mcgIron + folate in one strip
Will it upset my stomach?

There's no ferrous sulfate here: in 20 trials it more than doubled the odds of stomach side effects. And 19 mg is well under the 45 mg a day at which the NIH notes stomach side effects. Sensitive stomach? Take it after a meal.

Is 19 mg enough?

One strip covers the 18 mg a day women 19-50 need. In frequent blood donors, 19 mg a day raised body iron as much as twice the dose (different iron form).

What if it's not for me?

Take it for up to 90 days. If it isn't for you, tell us within 90 days of delivery and get every dollar back.

Why iron, and why women

Tired in a way sleep doesn't fix? Every period takes some iron with it.

The alarm goes and the day already feels heavy. By mid-afternoon you're running on coffee and willpower, and the evening is just getting through it.

Iron is what your red blood cells use to carry oxygen to every muscle. Many women don't eat enough of it to make up for what they lose each month.

That's why so many women take iron, and why so many quit: the usual ferrous sulfate pill is known for stomach upset and constipation. A strip you let melt on your tongue makes the daily part easy.

Everyday iron-rich foods: spinach, lentils, pumpkin seeds and beans
18 mg

of iron a day is what women 19-50 need. One strip gives you 19 mg.

How one strip a day works

1
Let it meltOne strip on your tongue, as directed on your tin. Let it dissolve, then swallow. No water needed.
2
Your body takes it inLike any iron you take by mouth, it's absorbed in your gut and goes into making healthy red blood cells.*
3
Your reserve buildsIron you don't use right away is stored. Your doctor can check your stores with a ferritin test.

Finally one I didn't quit

I've bought iron four times and stopped every time because of my stomach. These just melt on your tongue. Kind of weird at first, but I'm still taking them.

No glass of water needed

I take mine at my desk after breakfast. No water, no big tablet to get down, I just let it melt.

Less of a slog

Honestly didn't expect much from a strip. My afternoons feel a lot less like a slog and I'm skipping the second coffee.

Results vary.

I keep a couple of the little pouches in my purse so I don't skip it on busy days.

Raspberry, with a hint of iron

It tastes like raspberry. I can still taste a little metal at the end, but it's gone fast and so much better than a big tablet.

Honest about how it works

The site doesn't pretend it absorbs through your tongue, which I appreciated. Checked with my doctor first and I'm giving it a real try.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Woman in her late twenties on a city balcony
Will it upset my stomach?

There's no ferrous sulfate here, the iron form that more than doubled the odds of stomach side effects in a review of 20 trials, and 19 mg is well under the 45 mg a day at which the NIH notes stomach side effects. Everyone is different. If your stomach is sensitive, take it after a meal.

Does it absorb through my tongue?

No. The strip melts on your tongue so you don't have to swallow a pill, but like all iron you take by mouth, it's absorbed in your gut. We'd rather tell you that than promise something no study has shown.

Is 19 mg enough?

19 mg is about the daily amount women 19-50 need (18 mg, NIH). In a study of frequent blood donors, 19 mg a day raised total body iron by the same amount as 38 mg (Bialkowski et al., 2017, with a different iron form). If your doctor has found low iron, they'll tell you how much you need, which may be more.

Is this for me? Should I get tested first?

It's made for adult women who want a daily iron and folate routine. Iron isn't for everyone: if you haven't had your iron checked, ask your doctor for a ferritin test alongside your blood count. Don't take it if you have hemochromatosis or have been told to avoid iron. After menopause, women need 8 mg a day (NIH); ask your doctor whether daily iron fits you.

When should I take it?

Any time, as long as it's at the same time each day. Keep it apart from coffee, tea and calcium-rich foods, which can lower iron absorption. If you take thyroid medication (levothyroxine), keep 4 hours between them. Antacids and acid reducers can also lower absorption; ask your doctor.

It has folic acid. What if I have MTHFR?

Each strip has 240 mcg folic acid (400 mcg DFE). The CDC advises the same 400 mcg of folic acid for people with the common MTHFR variant. If you take methotrexate or anti-seizure medication, ask your doctor first.

What does it taste like?

Raspberry, sweetened with monk fruit and stevia. Some people still notice a faint mineral taste.

Can I take it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Talk to your doctor first. Iron and folate needs change in pregnancy.

How does subscribe & save work?

You pay $27.99 a tin instead of $34.99 (20% off), and a new tin ships every 4 weeks with free shipping. Skip a delivery or cancel anytime.

Who shouldn't take it?

It's for adults 18 and over. Not for people with hemochromatosis or anyone told to avoid iron. Keep it away from children: iron overdose is dangerous for young children.

The research

The science, with the fine print.

Each row shows the dose and the people studied. These studies used iron pills, not our strip.

Close-up of pink oral strips and raspberries
What was studiedWhat they foundDose and conditions
Iron and tiredness in womenVerdon et al., BMJ · 2003
Fatigue dropped 29% versus 13% on placebo. Only women with ferritin of 50 or below improved.

Dose and conditions: 144 women aged 18-55 with unexplained tiredness and normal hemoglobin; 80 mg iron a day (ferrous sulfate) for 4 weeks.

Worth knowing: That's about 4 times the iron in one strip, in a different form.

Iron and tiredness in women with periodsVaucher et al., CMAJ · 2012
Fatigue dropped 48% versus 29% on placebo.

Dose and conditions: 198 women aged 18-53 with ferritin below 50 and normal hemoglobin; 80 mg iron a day (ferrous sulfate) for 12 weeks.

Worth knowing: No difference in quality of life, depression or anxiety.

A low daily dose in frequent blood donorsBialkowski et al., Am J Hematol · 2017
19 mg raised total body iron as well as 38 mg; the effects couldn't be told apart.

Dose and conditions: Frequent blood donors who kept donating; 19 mg versus 38 mg ferrous gluconate a day for 60 days.

Worth knowing: Blood donors, and ferrous gluconate. The NIH notes ferrous forms are generally better absorbed than ferric forms like ours.

Ferrous sulfate and stomach side effectsTolkien et al., PLoS One · 2015
More than twice the odds of stomach side effects versus placebo.

Dose and conditions: 20 placebo-controlled trials (3,168 adults) within a review of 43 trials.

Worth knowing: The odds didn't clearly rise or fall with the dose.
