More than 500 of the supplement drops have been bought in the past month on Amazon
For one mum, feeling tired had become the norm after nearly 10 years of poor sleep – but she says a simple addition to her morning routine has helped her feel ‘much better’, with her energy levels higher than before. The BlueIron Liquid Iron Supplement with Nordic Blueberries + Vitamin C is now down to £13.60, from £16, on Amazon in a limited-time deal.
The product is a liquid iron supplement designed to make it easy to add iron to a daily routine, with a 10ml serving from the 250ml bottle costing around 55p a day. It can be mixed into food or drinks and contains iron, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and normal energy-yielding metabolism, the brand says.
Feeling tired all the time, which is sometimes dubbed TATT, or ‘Tired All The Time’, has become something many people simply accept as part of modern life. But iron plays an important role in the body, including normal oxygen transport and the formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, meaning getting enough can be important for overall wellbeing.
BlueIron has also launched its High Strength Drops (50ml) formula for those looking for a higher-strength option. It is priced at £10.35, down from £13, and delivers 20mg of iron per daily serving, equivalent to 142% of an adult’s recommended daily intake of iron, the brand says. It comes in a 50ml bottle with an easy-to-use pipette.
The original BlueIron Liquid Iron comes in a 250ml bottle and is made with wild Nordic blueberries, giving it a naturally fruity flavour. It also contains vitamin C, which contributes to normal immune function and helps with iron absorption, while the liquid format is designed to be easy to take.
The BlueIron Liquid Iron Supplement is available from Amazon
The product is currently discounted
The brand uses a micro encapsulated form of iron, which is designed to be released in the intestine, and says the formula is gentle on the stomach. The supplement is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and can also be used during pregnancy, although anyone considering an iron supplement should check that it’s suitable for them with a healthcare professional.
BlueIron is available through Amazon, as well as Holland & Barrett, where the 250ml liquid supplement is currently listed at £16. With women particularly vulnerable to iron deficiency due to factors including menstruation and pregnancy, the brand is tapping into growing awareness around how nutritional deficiencies can contribute to tiredness.
However, persistent or unexplained fatigue can have many causes, so it’s worth speaking to a GP rather than assuming low iron is responsible. An alternative option is the Kiki Health Ionic Iron Liquid Concentrate (50ml) for £20 from LookFantastic.
This is described as an iron supplement drink that is designed to be added to water. Each serving contains 5mg of iron, which is 36% of the recommended daily intake, the site says, and it contributes to normal cognitive function, energy-yielding metabolism, red blood cell and haemoglobin production and oxygen delivery.
Or at Superdrug, there’s the Vitabiotics Feroglobin B12 Iron Supplement Liquid (200ml) for £4.99. The site says Feroglobin is specially formulated with a gentle source of moderate level iron, vitamins and co-factors, ideal to help support health and vitality for the whole family.
The BlueIron Liquid Iron Supplement on Amazon has been rated highly by shoppers. One said: “I have suffered badly from low iron on and off for nearly 10 years, since I had my children. Tablets make me feel nauseous and give me an awful tummy, so when I found out about Liquid Iron, I had to try it out. Wow!!! It’s absolutely fabulous! A wonderful taste with no metallic aftertaste! Within a couple of days I felt a difference, my sleep is much better, and my energy levels are higher. So easy to include into your morning routine! Great price. Will most definitely buy again!”
A second said: “Since purchasing BlueIron, I feel less tired. My sleep routine has been terrible and I really feel that taking BlueIron has given me back a restful night’s sleep, which means my days have been full of energy. The taste is great, meaning I am happy to keep taking it. Will keep on top of things.”
Others, however, deducted stars and left feedback. One said: “Blueberry flavour doesn’t fully cover the bloody taste of an iron supplement, but it does help. Very thick liquid, almost like gel. I used it in the second trimester of my pregnancy and it worked great.”
Another said: “Not a bad taste, not too sure of the texture being syrup-like. But it’s high quality and drinkable.”
Overall, though, most were happy with their purchase. Another reviewer commented: “I love this product, BlueIron Liquid Iron Supplement is above any beyond the standard of other supplements with its delicious Nordic blueberries and vitamin C, B12, Folic Acid. I would say this is the best Iron supplement on the market.”
The BlueIron Liquid Iron Supplement with Nordic Blueberries + Vitamin C and the High Strength Drops (50ml) are available on Amazon.
