- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- Where can I buy Active Iron 25 mg in the UK?
- It's stocked at both Amazon UK (£19) and Holland & Barrett (£19.99) — pricing is close enough that retailer preference probably matters more than the small price gap.
- What does Informed Sport certification mean for Active Iron?
- Every batch of Active Iron 25 mg is independently tested against the WADA banned-substance list before release. That's the strictest of the banned-substance schemes for supplements and is what tested athletes look for.
- Is Active Iron a UK or Irish brand?
- Irish — Active Iron is headquartered in Ireland and has broad distribution across UK pharmacies and Holland & Barrett.
- How much iron does each capsule contain?
- 25 mg per capsule, as named. That sits above the typical multivitamin iron level but below high-dose therapeutic iron products.
- Should I take iron with food?
- Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach, but some people tolerate it better with a light meal. Vitamin C improves absorption; tea, coffee and dairy inhibit it.
