50p-a-day iron drops beat 3pm slump, shoppers say

Shoppers are praising a liquid iron supplement that costs around 50p a day, with some reporting less fatigue and more stable energy levels. One user said the 3pm slump became much easier to power through after using the product consistently for a few weeks.

Product details and price

The Blueiron Liquid Iron Supplement With Nordic Blueberries + Vitamin C is currently £16 on Amazon. A 10ml serving from the 250ml bottle works out at roughly 50p a day. The supplement can be blended into food or beverages and is described as gentle on the stomach.

According to Blueiron, the iron in the product contributes to the reduction in tiredness and fatigue. The formula also includes Vitamin C, which the brand says enhances iron absorption, and Nordic blueberries that are hand-harvested in the Finnish wilderness for their unique flavour.

Shopper reviews

One reviewer, Danish, said: "I've tried a few iron supplements before, but this one actually works and tastes decent too (which is rare for iron products!). The Nordic blueberry flavour is natural and not too harsh, making the daily spoonful easy to take. The formula contains not just iron but also Vitamin C for better absorption, B12 for energy, folic acid and zinc - all without nasty side effects."

Danish added: "After using it consistently for a few weeks, I genuinely noticed less fatigue and more stable energy levels - that 3pm slump became way easier to power through. My recent bloodwork also showed improved iron levels, which I wasn't even expecting so fast."

Another buyer, David, called it "above and beyond the standard of other supplements" and said it was the best iron supplement on the market. A customer named Nacu noted the blueberry flavour does not fully cover the bloody taste but said it worked well during the second trimester of pregnancy.

Not all feedback was glowing. Monique wrote: "Great taste. A bit like fruit juice. Easy to take for kids and adults but I can't say I have noticed a difference." Another customer, who had felt depleted of energy for a long time despite blood tests showing no anaemia, said: "After just a few days I have noticed my energy levels are so much better. I am feeling refreshed in the morning and able to get up early and in the evening I am not running out of energy."

Alternative options and availability

Blueiron also offers High Strength Drops 50ml on Amazon for £13, providing 142 per cent of an adult's recommended daily intake of iron. The brand says these are perfect for those with lower iron levels who need an extra strength boost.

The supplement is stocked on Amazon and at Holland and Barrett, where the 250ml bottle retails for £16 and is currently part of a three-for-two promotion. Boots sells the Iron and Vitamin Liquid Formula 250ml for £11.50, which includes vitamins B2, B6, B12 and C. Superdrug offers the Floradix Liquid Iron and Vitamin Formula 250ml for £15.50, containing organic iron from ferrous gluconate alongside vitamins B2, B6, B12 and C.
