At a glance
Sold as a 28-day pack rather than a bottle, with the amounts of iron, magnesium and B6 set with menstrual iron loss in mind. Nothing exotic — the value is in the amounts being chosen deliberately rather than copied from a general multivitamin.
It may suit you if
- You want a formula built around a monthly cycle
- You are not already taking iron elsewhere
- You like the discipline of a 28-day pack
You may prefer something else if
- You are pregnant or trying to conceive — a prenatal formula is different
- You already take a multivitamin with iron

A gentler form of iron than sulfate. Iron is one to be careful with: only supplement it when there is a reason to. Typical serving across the market: 14mg – 20mg. Published human research: extensive.
Magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. Generally better tolerated by the digestive system than magnesium oxide, and usually more expensive. Typical serving across the market: 100mg – 375mg elemental. Published human research: moderate.
Public health guidance in the UK suggests considering a daily supplement through autumn and winter. Vegan D3 from lichen is widely available. Typical serving across the market: 10µg – 25µg (400 – 1000 IU). Published human research: extensive.
One of the few ingredients here with an authorised health claim in the UK and EU. Often included alongside collagen for that reason. Typical serving across the market: 40mg – 500mg. Published human research: extensive.
Other ingredients
Vitamin B6 1.4mg, Folate 200µg, Vegetable capsule shell.

- Cost per serving

- Cost per 30 days
- £38.57
Cost per serving is the fairest way to compare, because pack sizes vary enormously within the same category. It still does not account for how much active ingredient is in each serving — check that too.
