Why Doesn’t the Women’s Multivitamin Contain Iron?Updated 21 days ago

Formulation Balance and Ingredient Interactions

Our Women’s Daily Multivitamin+ is carefully designed to include a broad range of vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and other functional ingredients. Iron is a sensitive mineral that can interact with certain compounds and may affect the stability or absorption of other nutrients in a complex formula.

For example, iron can sometimes interfere with:

  • Certain botanical extracts

  • Probiotic-based ingredients

  • The overall stability of multi-ingredient blends

By excluding iron, we are able to preserve the integrity and effectiveness of the other carefully selected components in the formula.

Individual Iron Needs Vary

Iron requirements differ greatly from person to person and depend on factors such as:

  • Age

  • Diet

  • Menstrual cycle

  • Pregnancy or postpartum status

  • Existing health conditions

Because iron needs are so individual, including it in a multivitamin may not be appropriate for everyone. Some people may need additional iron, while others may need to limit iron intake altogether.

Why a Standalone Iron Supplement Can Be Preferable?

For those who require iron support, a standalone iron supplement allows for:

  • More precise and personalized dosing

  • Better control over total iron intake

  • Greater flexibility based on individual needs

This approach allows customers to pair the Women’s Multivitamin with an iron supplement if needed, rather than having iron automatically included in a broad formula.

A Thoughtful Approach to Women’s Nutrition

Our goal is to create formulas that are balanced, stable, and adaptable. By not including iron in the Women’s Multivitamin, we provide a foundation that works for a wide range of individuals while leaving room for personalized supplementation when appropriate.
