Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle, so that you can get the most of your life every single day, is something most women strive for. Having enough energy to do it is an essential part of the plan. For women, however, it can be a bigger challenge to maintain their energy levels.

From the day a young woman begins to get her period, and for the 25-40 years that follow, the blood loss from their monthly menstrual cycle means that women worldwide are prone to lower iron levels and, as a consequence, lowered energy, among other effects. This is a fact of life for women that doesn’t care where you live or under what circumstances. 

Maintaining optimal iron levels can’t “always” be accomplished through diet alone, as women of childbearing age require twice the daily iron of men. A daily supplement can help, but so many of those available on the market are difficult to absorb and can result in cramping, nausea or worse.

 Active Iron breaks this mold by offering an iron supplement that is kind to the stomach and yet strong and effective. So kind, in fact, that it can be taken on an empty stomach. Try doing that with other iron supplements! In addition, if offers twice the absorption rate over standard ferrous sulfate.* 

The value of iron for women

Maintaining adequate iron levels has multiple benefits, particularly for women who menstruate:

• Helps maintain higher energy levels

• Helps transport oxygen to muscles to keep them healthy

• Plays a role in the transportation of oxygen to vital organs

• Helps reduce tiredness & fatigue

Particularly for women in their 30s and 40s, or those who experience a particularly heavy or long duration flow, a daily iron requirement that is 2-3 times greater than it is for a man is necessary to ensure optimal iron levels, something which may not be accomplished through diet alone.

Active Iron features a high potency Iron, in a non-constipating, sugar-free, and gluten-free protein formula that can help prevent dietary iron deficiency. It contains no artificial preservatives and is clinically proven to increase iron levels*. Active Iron retails for $49.99 and is available on Amazon.com.

Solvotrin Therapeutics

Solvotrin Therapeutics, an Irish healthcare company, saw a simple need, worldwide: finding a way to deliver iron to people that would be both kind and strong. That is, easy for the body to tolerate and absorb the iron in adequate amounts to make a difference. Unabsorbed iron that ends up in the stomach contributes to the side effects many people experience when they take a standard iron supplement, including nausea, cramping, constipation and so on.

Active Iron was launched in 2016, with availability throughout Ireland, the U.K., Germany and New Zealand. Now, with their entry into the U.S. market, Solvotrin Therapeutics is taking another welcome step into the future of health and wellness. 

How Active Iron works

Together with Scientists at Ireland's top university, Trinity College Dublin, the experts at Solvotrin Therapeutics were able to create a new and unique technology that binds iron to a whey-protein complex, ensuring that the iron is released in the small intestine, where it is best absorbed with the least side effects, rather than the stomach. 

Studies have confirmed that the Active Iron formulation is absorbed into the body at twice the rate of other iron sulfate supplements but is so gentle, it can be taken on an empty stomach.

Each Active Iron capsule contains 25mg of iron, which is 138% of the recommended daily amount.
