Iron has several EU-approved claims: it contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, to normal oxygen transport, to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness. Those are the approved wordings; the full list is in the product information.
A fair question, because the gummy category is under fire. Research by the Dutch consumers’ association Consumentenbond among others showed that some vitamin gummies contain less than the label states, and many gummies are full of sugar or gelatine. Vegums is built precisely to avoid those pitfalls: the gummies are plant-based with pectin instead of gelatine, the doses are stated exactly on the packaging (with the percentage of the reference intake), and the iron here is in a mild form (ferric diphosphate) that is gentler on the digestion. What remains important: a gummy is an addition to your diet, not a replacement.
Iron from plant sources is absorbed less well than from animal sources. Topping up is mainly relevant for anyone eating plant-based, menstruating, pregnant or doing a lot of sport. If you are unsure whether you have a deficiency, have it checked by your GP; too much iron is not desirable.
The dose is matched to age: children from 3 to 12 years take 1 gummy a day, children from 12 years and adults 2 gummies a day. Chew them or let them dissolve, preferably with a meal. Not suitable for children under 3 years.
Do not take more than the recommended amount, because too much iron is not desirable. Further: store in a dry place at room temperature, out of reach of young children. Not suitable for children younger than 3 years. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, consult a doctor or pharmacist before starting a new supplement.
