Why Choose This Product
Active Iron & B Complex Plus for Women combines two specialised components rather than simply adding iron to a conventional multivitamin.
The Active Iron capsule provides 14mg of iron using the brand's whey protein-based formulation. The second daily tablet provides a broader combination of vitamins and minerals formulated specifically for women.
The women's multivitamin contains 400µg folic acid and no vitamin A, making the formulation particularly relevant to women who are planning a pregnancy. The manufacturer also identifies it as suitable during pregnancy.

Common Questions
What is actually inside the 60 pack?
The pack contains 30 Active Iron capsules and 30 women's multivitamin tablets. One of each is taken daily, giving approximately 30 days' supply rather than 60 days.
Does it contain vitamin A?

Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Iron is particularly relevant to women of menstruating age because menstrual blood loss can contribute to increased iron requirements. However, persistent tiredness should not automatically be assumed to be caused by low iron.
Symptoms such as persistent fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, palpitations or unusual pallor warrant appropriate medical assessment where significant or ongoing.
If iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia has been confirmed by blood tests, follow the treatment and monitoring recommended by your GP or pharmacist. A general food supplement should not automatically replace a therapeutic iron regimen.
Women planning pregnancy are generally advised to take 400µg folic acid daily from before conception until 12 weeks of pregnancy, unless a healthcare professional recommends a higher dose. This product provides 400µg folic acid in the accompanying women's formulation.
Iron can interact with some medicines and may need to be separated from products such as certain antibiotics, levothyroxine and other medicines. Ask your pharmacist for individual advice.
The Active Iron capsule contains whey protein derived from milk and is therefore not suitable for people with a milk protein allergy.
Not Suitable For
Seek pharmacist or medical advice before use if:
- You have haemochromatosis or another iron-overload condition
- You have previously been told that your iron levels are high
- You have unexplained or persistent fatigue
- You have a diagnosed anaemia
- You take regular prescription medication
- You already use another iron-containing supplement
- You already take a pregnancy multivitamin
- You require a higher prescribed dose of folic acid
- You have a milk protein allergy
- You are allergic or sensitive to another ingredient

It is a two-part women's food supplement containing 30 Active Iron capsules and 30 complementary women's multivitamin tablets. One of each is taken daily, providing approximately a 30-day supply. The formulation combines iron with B vitamins, folic acid and additional vitamins and minerals.
2. Does the pack contain 60 days' supply?
No. Although the pack contains 60 individual pieces, it consists of 30 Active Iron capsules plus 30 multivitamin tablets. Because the daily serving is one of each, the pack provides approximately 30 days' supply.
3. How much iron does Active Iron for Women provide?
Each Active Iron capsule provides 14mg of iron, equivalent to 100% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell and haemoglobin formation, normal oxygen transport, normal energy metabolism and reduced tiredness and fatigue.
4. Does Active Iron & B Complex for Women help with tiredness?
Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 also contribute to reduced tiredness and fatigue. These authorised nutritional claims do not mean that the product treats unexplained or persistent fatigue.
5. Does it support hormonal balance?
Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. This is the appropriate authorised EU claim. The product should not be described as treating hormonal disorders, PMS or menstrual problems.
6. Does Active Iron for Women contain folic acid?
Yes. The women's multivitamin component contains 400µg folic acid. The formulation does not contain vitamin A.
7. Is Active Iron & B Complex Plus for Women suitable when trying to conceive?
The manufacturer identifies the product as suitable for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive, and the women's formulation provides 400µg folic acid without vitamin A. If you have been advised to take a higher 5mg dose of folic acid, this product does not replace that prescribed dose.
8. Can Active Iron & B Complex Plus for Women be taken during pregnancy?
The manufacturer identifies the product as suitable for pregnant women, with directions stating that adults, pregnant women and those over 12 take one Active Iron capsule and one multivitamin tablet daily. If pregnant, check any other pregnancy supplements you use to avoid unnecessary duplication of iron, folic acid and other nutrients.
9. How do I take Active Iron & B Complex Plus for Women?
Take one Active Iron capsule and one Active Multivitamin tablet each day with water or fruit juice. The manufacturer states that the Active Iron capsule is suitable for taking on an empty stomach. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose unless advised by a doctor or pharmacist.

Yes. Current product information lists it as suitable for vegetarians. However, the Active Iron formulation contains whey protein derived from milk, so it is not suitable for vegans or anyone with a milk protein allergy.
11. Can I take Active Iron for Women with other vitamins?
Check the ingredients before combining supplements. This product already contains iron and a comprehensive selection of vitamins and minerals. Combining it with another multivitamin, pregnancy supplement or iron product may unnecessarily duplicate nutrients. A pharmacist can compare your products if you are unsure.
