FAQs
1. What is Vitabiotics Feroglobin Liquid 500ml used for?
Feroglobin Liquid is a liquid food supplement containing iron together with vitamin C, B vitamins, folic acid, zinc and other micronutrients. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell and haemoglobin formation, normal oxygen transport and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is suitable for adults and children aged 3 years and over when used according to the age-specific directions.
2. How much iron is in Feroglobin Liquid?
Each 10ml provides 14mg iron, equivalent to 100% of the adult Nutrient Reference Value. Adults taking the standard 5ml twice-daily dose therefore receive 14mg iron daily. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell formation, haemoglobin formation and oxygen transport.
3. Can Feroglobin Liquid help with tiredness and fatigue?
Feroglobin contains iron, folate and vitamin B12, which contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It should not, however, be assumed that persistent fatigue is caused by low iron. Ongoing tiredness, pallor, breathlessness or other symptoms should be discussed with a pharmacist or GP.
4. Can children take Feroglobin Liquid?
Yes. Children aged 3–6 years take 2.5ml twice daily, while children aged 7–12 years take 5ml once or twice daily according to the current manufacturer's directions. Children under 3 should not routinely receive the product unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
5. Does Feroglobin Liquid contain vitamin B12 and folic acid?
Yes. Each 10ml provides 10µg vitamin B12 and 300µg folic acid. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation and normal energy-yielding metabolism, while folate contributes to normal blood formation and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
6. Is Feroglobin Liquid gentle on the stomach?
Vitabiotics positions Feroglobin Liquid as a gentle liquid iron formulation and an alternative for people who find iron tablets or capsules difficult to take. Individual tolerance can vary, however. If iron supplements repeatedly cause significant stomach upset, constipation or other symptoms, ask your pharmacist for advice.
7. Is Feroglobin Liquid suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. The current formulation is Vegetarian Society approved. It is not suitable for vegans because it contains honey. It also contains malt extract from barley and glucose liquid containing sulphites, so customers with relevant allergies or dietary restrictions should check the label carefully.
8. Can Feroglobin Liquid be taken during pregnancy?
Vitabiotics lists the product as suitable during pregnancy but advises consulting a doctor or pharmacist before use. Pregnancy-specific iron requirements vary, and women taking Pregnacare or another prenatal supplement should check the combined iron intake rather than automatically using two iron-containing products together.
9. Can Feroglobin Liquid be taken with medicines?
The manufacturer advises checking with a doctor or pharmacist when taking medicines. Iron can affect the absorption of certain treatments, including some antibiotics and thyroid medicines. Your pharmacist can advise whether Feroglobin and your medication need to be taken at different times of day.
10. Can I take Feroglobin Liquid with another iron supplement?
Do not routinely combine iron supplements unless advised by a healthcare professional. Feroglobin Liquid already provides 14mg iron per standard adult daily dose. If you have diagnosed iron-deficiency anaemia, prescribed iron may contain a different therapeutic dose and should be taken according to medical directions.
11. How should Feroglobin Liquid be stored after opening?
Once opened, the bottle should be stored in the refrigerator and used within 8 weeks. Before opening, store below 25°C in a dry place. Keep it securely out of sight and reach of children because excessive iron intake can be particularly harmful to young children.
12. What is the difference between Feroglobin Liquid and Feroglobin Liquid Plus?
Feroglobin Liquid provides iron, B vitamins, folate, zinc and other minerals in a honey-and-malt liquid formula. Feroglobin Liquid Plus adds specialist ingredients such as Siberian ginseng, CoQ10, L-carnitine, green tea extract and vitamin D. The Plus formulation also has additional restrictions because it contains green tea extract.
