Ferritas Daily Iron Complex is a daily iron supplement made to rebuild the body's iron reserve and bring back steady, all-day energy. Two capsules deliver 40 mg of gentle chelated iron with ten supporting nutrients that help reduce tiredness, support healthy red blood cells, sharpen focus, back up immunity and feed hair and nails. It's easy on the stomach and iron is clinically shown to cut fatigue in people with low ferritin.

Do I need to test my ferritin first?

In most of the cases, no test is needed to start, but it's smart to track your progress.

How soon will I notice a difference?

Most routines settle in the first two weeks. In clinical trials, iron cut fatigue noticeably by week 4 and further by week 12. Iron stores take about 12 weeks to rebuild, which is why most people start with the 90-day supply and retest at the end. Individual results vary.

Will it upset my stomach?

That's the problem Ferritas was built around. It uses iron bisglycinate, a chelated form that caused far fewer stomach side effects than other iron supplements in a 2023 review. Taking it with food helps even more.

How is this different from the iron my pharmacy sells?

Pharmacy iron is usually ferrous sulfate, which more than doubles the odds of stomach side effects, and it's iron on its own. Ferritas pairs gentle chelated iron with vitamin C, B12, folate, copper and lactoferrin, with every dose printed on the label.

Two capsules a day with a meal. Keep coffee and tea an hour away, since both cut iron absorption, and take any calcium supplement at a different time of day.

Can I take too much iron?

Yes, which is why the dose matters. The adult daily upper limit is 45 mg, and Ferritas provides 40 mg. Don't combine it with other iron products, and don't take it if you have hemochromatosis or high ferritin.

Will it help with hair shedding?

Low ferritin is a common finding in women with hair shedding, and Ferritas adds biotin and selenium, which support normal hair and nails. Hair grows about a centimetre a month, so give it a full three months.

Why 40 mg and not a higher dose?

Strong enough to matter, gentle enough to take every day. Higher-dose tablets are a big reason people quit iron within a week, and a dose you actually keep taking does more than one sitting in the cupboard.

Can I take it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Check with your doctor or midwife first. Iron needs change a lot during pregnancy, and dosing should be guided by your own care team.

Can I take it with my medication or other supplements?

If you take thyroid medication, keep iron at least 4 hours apart and check with your doctor. The same goes for other regular medications. Skip any multivitamin that already contains iron, so you don't double up.

It isn't vegan: lactoferrin comes from milk.

How long should I take it?

Plan on at least three months, then retest your ferritin.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You're covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee. Take it for the full course, and if it isn't right for any reason, contact us for a full refund.

How do auto-refills work?

You save money with auto-refills, and the same order ships again when your supply runs out: every 30, 90 or 180 days depending on your bundle. Skip, change or cancel anytime from your account or by email.

Can't I just get enough iron from food?

Food is the right place to start, but it often falls short. The average American woman now gets about 11 mg of iron a day from food, against the 18 mg recommended for women aged 19 to 50, and that intake has dropped since the mid-2000s as chicken replaced beef on most plates. Plant iron absorbs less well too, which is why vegetarians need 1.8 times more. Ferritas closes the gap the plate leaves.

Why people quit iron pills: pharmacy iron (ferrous sulfate, 2x the odds of stomach side effects, often 65 mg a tablet, iron and nothing else) versus Ferritas (chelated bisglycinate, gentle on the stomach, 40 mg, B12, folate, copper, 100 mg lactoferrin and 120 mg vitamin C). A hand holds the Ferritas bottle and a capsule.

What to expect: days 14 to 30, two capsules a day, easy on the stomach; days 30 to 60, focus holds longer; days 60 to 90, energy that lasts the day, with biotin and selenium for hair and nails. Individual results vary.

Key ingredients around the Ferritas bottle: iron bisglycinate (gentle iron), active B12 and folate (red blood cells), lactoferrin (iron-binding protein), copper (iron transport), vitamin C (absorption support), biotin and selenium (hair and nails).

How to use: take 2 capsules once daily with water and a meal, any time of day; keep coffee and tea an hour away. Unflavored, easy-to-swallow capsules. Don't combine with other iron products; on thyroid or other medication, take it 4 hours apart and check with a doctor. Keep out of reach of children.

Dashed lines: recommended daily amount (women 19–50: 18 mg, men: 8 mg)

Iron is what the body uses to make red blood cells. Ferritin is where it keeps the reserve.

Americans are getting less iron from food than they used to. Between 2005-06 and 2021-23, average intake fell 24% for men (18.9 to 14.4 mg) and 20% for women (13.8 to 11.0 mg).¹¹ Researchers point to a shift from beef to chicken over the same years.

The recommended amount is 8 mg a day for men and 18 mg for women aged 19 to 50.³ Women in their 20s, 30s and 40s now average 11 to 12 mg.¹¹ Men typically still clear their 8 mg, but regular blood donation and plant-based diets raise iron needs.³

Low Ferritin Symptoms

Ferritin is the body's iron reserve. When it runs low, iron goes to the essentials first, and the rest can wait.

These are the signs most often linked with low iron stores. Some people notice several; some notice none.

Ferritas Daily Iron Complex delivers 40 mg of gentle chelated iron a day to help rebuild the reserve.

Linda M., 67 — Sarasota, Florida
My hair had been shedding more than I was comfortable with, and I’d started dreading wash day. Noticing less hair in the brush has made me so happy! I still love getting dressed up and doing my hair, so this little change means a lot to me.
Patricia R., 57 — Scottsdale, Arizona
My nails were always peeling or breaking, so I kept them cut short even though I loved having them done. They’re feeling stronger now, and I’m finally growing them a little longer. I treated myself to a manicure last week and couldn’t stop admiring my hands!
Ashley T., 36 — Raleigh, North Carolina
Between work, school runs, and everything at home, I felt completely drained by dinner. Lately, I’ve had energy left to play with my kids instead of counting down to bedtime. We’ve even started taking walks after dinner. I’m so happy to enjoy that time with them!
Michelle D., 52 — Columbus, Ohio
I was managing work and family life, but most days I felt like I was running on empty. The fatigue has eased, and my afternoons feel much more manageable. I’ve also noticed less shedding when I wash my hair. Those changes have made such a difference to my confidence.
Emily K., 25 — Austin, Texas
I hated feeling too tired to do anything after work, especially when my friends wanted to go out. Having more energy has been the biggest win for me—I’m actually looking forward to plans again! My nails seem less prone to breaking too, which is a lovely bonus.

Unlike most iron pills, Ferritas is gentle enough to take every day.

Low Iron Hides in Plain Sight

01
For those who
…notice more hair in the brush
Lower ferritin is common in women dealing with hair shedding.¹²,¹³,¹⁶
02
For those who
…are always tired and coffee no longer helps
Low iron stores are one of the most common and most overlooked reasons for ongoing tiredness.
03
For those who
…are in perimenopause with heavier cycles
Periods often get heavier before they stop, draining iron just as energy starts to dip.
04
For those who
…diet, fast or eat light
Less food means less iron, and lighter diets often cut the iron-rich foods first.
05
For those who
…were told their bloodwork is normal
'Normal' often just means no anemia yet.
06
For those who
…have heavy periods
Heavy periods can drain around five times more iron per cycle than a normal one.¹⁴
07
For those who
…quit iron because of their stomach
Pharmacy iron is usually ferrous sulfate, which more than doubles the odds of stomach side effects.⁷
08
For those who
…eat little or no red meat
Plant iron absorbs far less well, which is why vegetarians need 1.8 times more iron.³
09
For those who
…train hard or run
Between 15 and 35% of female athletes are iron deficient.⁵
10
For those who
…give blood regularly
Every donation removes a large share of the body's iron.
11
For those who
…had a baby in the past year
Pregnancy and birth draw heavily on iron stores, often at the moment energy is needed most.

I’m not completely done by 3pm anymore

The biggest difference is my afternoons. I used to get through work and have absolutely nothing left for the evening. Lately I’ve been making dinner, doing a few things around the house and still wanting to go out sometimes. Nothing dramatic on any single day, but looking back, it feels like a lot.

Less hair in the shower

I bought this mainly because of my low iron, but the hair shedding was what upset me most. Over time I’ve noticed less hair coming out when I wash it. Still have shedding, obviously, but I’m no longer dreading looking at the drain. Really pleased with that.

My nails finally have a little length

Normally one nail splits as soon as the others start looking nice. They seem less brittle now and I’ve actually managed to grow them out a bit. Small thing, but it’s something I notice every day.
