Advanced Iron+

Folate in its already-active form, so it skips the MTHFR conversion step that a large share of people carry a slow variant of.

Supports the neural tube in the earliest weeks of pregnancy, and partners with B12 to build red blood cells.

The active form of B12, used alongside folate in red blood cell formation and in normal nervous system function.

Folate cannot finish the job without it — the two are only useful to a pregnancy together.

The coenzyme form of B6, which the body uses directly in amino acid metabolism and in haemoglobin synthesis.

Contributes to normal red blood cell formation — the step that makes the iron beside it usable.

A cofactor in hundreds of enzymes, and required for normal cell division and immune function.

Zinc and iron compete for the same absorption pathway, so supplying both avoids topping up one at the other’s expense.

Needed to move stored iron into circulation — that loading is done by ceruloplasmin, a copper enzyme.

Iron taken for months without copper can quietly deplete it. Including it keeps the iron you take usable.

Built into the glutathione peroxidase enzymes, part of the body’s own antioxidant defence.

Also supports normal thyroid function, which shifts considerably across the three trimesters.

Turns food into usable energy, and is needed to mobilise iron out of storage.

When riboflavin is low the response to iron is blunted — part of why this is a blend rather than iron alone.

The non-flushing form of niacin, central to energy-yielding metabolism in every cell.

Contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
