Iron

Oxygen delivery for two — with a gentler form that agrees with you.

What it is

Iron is required to build hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen through your blood. Blood volume expands dramatically in pregnancy, and iron needs rise from 18 mg to 27 mg daily.

Why it’s used

Supports the expanded blood volume of pregnancy.
Helps prevent iron-deficiency anemia and its fatigue.
Gentler forms such as ferrous bisglycinate reduce constipation and nausea.

What research says

The recommended dietary allowance for iron in pregnancy is 27 mg daily.
Systematic reviews associate maternal anemia with increased risk of low birth weight and preterm delivery.
Vitamin C improves non-heme iron absorption; calcium and tea reduce it.

Typical dose: 27 mg daily during pregnancy; take away from calcium.
