How it works
Iron is a critical mineral for your body, primarily used to make hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to your tissues. Without enough iron, your cells cannot get the oxygen they need, leading to fatigue and weakness [NIH ODS]. The "slow release" formulation is designed to release iron gradually, which may help reduce some common gastrointestinal side effects.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific report counts for this product or iron alone are not available in the provided data. Data not available for side effects specific to Simply Right Slow Release Iron 45 mg. General risks of high iron intake include stomach upset, constipation, and nausea. Iron supplements can also reduce the absorption of certain medications, including tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our assessment is that you should only take this supplement if you have been diagnosed with iron deficiency by a healthcare provider. Do not use it without a confirmed need, as excess iron can be dangerous. Take it on an empty stomach with vitamin C (like a glass of orange juice) for better absorption, but avoid taking it with calcium-rich foods or antacids [NIH ODS]. Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement.
