Curated, not stocked.
Iron is the deficiency we see most frequently in blood results, yet it is also the supplement most often taken without confirmed need. We chose MaryRuth's liquid format because it offers a practical alternative for those who find tablet-form iron hard on the gut, and because the plant-based formulation aligns with the dietary patterns of many of our clients. We recommend pairing it with a ferritin blood test to track progress objectively.
About this product
Vegan Liquid Iron - Berry
MaryRuth's Vegan Liquid Iron in Berry is a liquid-form iron supplement derived from plant-based sources. Iron is an essential mineral required for the production of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Low iron is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies, particularly in menstruating women, vegans and vegetarians, endurance athletes, and those with absorption difficulties.
A liquid format may suit people who struggle with standard iron tablets — a common issue given that solid iron supplements can cause nausea, constipation, or gastric discomfort in some individuals. Liquid delivery also allows for flexible dosing if a practitioner advises adjustment.
This product is formulated to be plant-based throughout, making it appropriate for those avoiding animal-derived ingredients. The berry flavour makes it more palatable day-to-day, which matters practically: consistent daily intake is what builds and maintains iron stores over time.
Iron supplementation is most meaningful when a deficiency or insufficiency has been confirmed — ideally via a blood test measuring serum ferritin, haemoglobin, and transferrin saturation. Taking iron without confirmed need offers limited benefit and, at high doses, carries risk. We recommend testing before starting any iron supplement. This product sits best within a routine guided by a clinician or informed by current bloodwork.

How to use
Take 1 tablespoon daily, as directed on the packaging. Iron is generally better absorbed on an empty stomach or with a vitamin C-rich drink, though if you experience stomach sensitivity, taking it with a light meal is a reasonable compromise. Avoid taking alongside dairy, tea, or coffee, as these can inhibit iron absorption.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Do I need to confirm an iron deficiency before taking this?
We strongly recommend it. A simple blood test measuring serum ferritin and haemoglobin will confirm whether your iron levels are low. Supplementing without confirmed deficiency offers little benefit and excess iron can be harmful over time.
Why choose liquid iron over standard iron tablets?
Tablet-form iron, particularly ferrous sulphate, is known to cause constipation, nausea, and stomach cramping in many people. Liquid formats are often gentler on the digestive system and easier to adjust in terms of dose if needed.
Is this suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Yes. The product is formulated with plant-based iron and contains no animal-derived ingredients, making it appropriate for vegan and vegetarian diets.
What can interfere with iron absorption?
Tea, coffee, dairy products, and calcium supplements can all inhibit iron absorption if taken at the same time. Taking iron with a source of vitamin C — such as a small glass of orange juice — is a well-established way to improve uptake.
How long before I notice a difference in energy levels?
This varies depending on how depleted your iron stores are. Ferritin levels typically take several weeks to months to rebuild meaningfully. A follow-up blood test at 8 to 12 weeks is the most reliable way to assess progress.
