Helpful Product Information
Feroglobin Liquid contains iron as ferric ammonium citrate. Vitabiotics describes its liquid iron formulation as designed to be gentle on the stomach.
The formula combines iron with vitamin C because vitamin C increases iron absorption. It also contains copper, which contributes to normal iron transport in the body.
Feroglobin Liquid should not be confused with Feroglobin Liquid Plus. The Plus formulation contains additional ingredients and has different suitability restrictions.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Feroglobin Liquid is a food supplement, not a medicine for treating iron-deficiency anaemia.
Persistent tiredness, weakness, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness or unusual paleness should be medically assessed rather than automatically attributed to low iron.
If blood tests have confirmed iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia, follow the treatment recommended by your doctor or pharmacist. The amount of iron required to treat a diagnosed deficiency may differ from that supplied by a general food supplement.
Iron can also interact with the absorption of some medicines. If you take levothyroxine, certain antibiotics or other regular medicines, ask your pharmacist about appropriate separation from your iron supplement.
Not Suitable For
- Children under 3 years
- Anyone allergic to an ingredient
- People with haemochromatosis unless advised by a healthcare professional
- Anyone who has been advised to avoid supplemental iron
- Vegans, as the formulation contains honey
Seek advice before use if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have epilepsy
- Have a thyroid disorder
- Are under medical supervision
- Have food allergies
- Take regular medicines
The manufacturer states that the product is made at a site that may handle nuts.
