Ferrum
The chemical symbol for iron, Fe, comes from the Latin ferrum. The human body contains an average of three to four grams of iron, most of it bound to haemoglobin in the red blood cells. In this chewable tablet, the iron is bound to the amino acid glycine.
Made in the United States
Seeking Health has the chewable tablets made in the United States according to GMP. The iron is a glycinate chelate from Albion®. The tablets have a natural cherry flavour and are sweetened with xylitol.

Iron Chewable Tablets by Seeking Health
Support your iron intake with the tasty and gentle Iron Chewable Tablets by Seeking Health. These tablets contain an easily absorbed form of iron and are specially designed for daily use, especially for those who struggle with iron absorption. Since standard iron supplements can often cause side effects such as stomach upset or constipation, it is important to consider a gentler alternative. Seeking Health's Iron Chewable Tablets provide just that, with a delicious flavour and a carefully formulated composition.
Why choose Iron Chewable Tablets?
Gentle and well tolerated: the tablets contain iron glycinate, a mild form of iron that is well tolerated by the body. Even people with a sensitive stomach can take these tablets without any problems. Vitamin C for better absorption: the added vitamin C in each tablet helps improve the absorption of iron in the body, which is crucial for an effective iron intake. Adjustable dosage: with 10 mg of iron per chewable tablet, you can easily adjust the dose in small steps, so that you get exactly the amount you need. Delicious flavour: thanks to the flavourless form of iron (glycinate), the tasty cherry flavour of the chewable tablets is retained, without the typical metallic taste often associated with iron supplements.
Iron, blood and oxygen
Did you know that iron is essential for the transport of oxygen through your body? The body uses iron to produce haemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Iron also plays a role in the production of myoglobin, a protein that delivers oxygen to the muscles.
Approved health claims
Iron is good for normal oxygen transport in the body. Iron supports the production of red blood cells. Iron has a beneficial effect on normal energy-yielding metabolism. Iron contributes to the production of cells and tissues. Vitamin C promotes the absorption of iron. Iron and vitamin C have a positive effect on the immune system. Iron is good for tiredness and fatigue.
Essential for the body
As an essential mineral, iron is involved in many proteins and enzymes in the body, including haemoglobin, myoglobin and various enzymes involved in DNA synthesis and detoxification.
Haem iron versus non-haem iron
There are two types of iron in our diet: haem iron and non-haem iron. Haem iron comes mainly from animal products and plays an important role in biochemical reactions in the body. Non-haem iron, which is mainly found in plant-based foods, requires a more complex absorption process. That is why diets that contain few animal products can lead to iron deficiency.
The role of vitamin C
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in iron absorption. It helps convert iron into a form that the body can absorb more easily, while minimising the negative effects of certain nutrients such as calcium, phosphate, tannins and phytic acids on iron absorption.
