How do you take iron supplements?
Both products are taken as one tablet a day. For the iron product the label also gives a duration: 30 days. Each tablet contains 15 mg of iron, or 107% of the nutrient reference value.
The multivitamin product is intended for adults and children from 15 years of age, also one tablet a day. Tablets should be kept in the original packaging, in a dry place at room temperature, and the pack should be kept out of reach of children.
Neither label says whether the tablet should be taken on an empty stomach or with food, so pick a time that suits you. The label says not to exceed the recommended daily dose, and not to use a food supplement as a substitute for a complete and balanced diet.
What should you not take with iron supplements?
Neither label names a food or drink to avoid with these tablets. The restrictions are elsewhere: the products are not recommended in case of individual intolerance to any component, and they are not a replacement for a complete and balanced diet.
Iron is in both products: 15 mg from the iron product and 5 mg from the multivitamin. If both are taken on the same day, the total is 20 mg. The labels give one tablet a day for each product, so choose one product and follow its label.
How long should you take iron supplements?
The iron product’s label gives a specific course: 30 days, one tablet a day. That matches the pack, which contains 30 tablets.
The multivitamin label does not state a duration. It gives only the daily dose for adults and children from 15 years of age. If you want to continue after 30 days, the label says nothing further.
Is 15 mg of iron a day a lot?
15 mg is 107% of the nutrient reference value, so slightly above the reference level. The multivitamin contains 5 mg, or 35.7% NRV.
Iron is above 15% of the NRV in both products (107% and 35.7%), so these authorised EU statements apply to it:
- Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin
- Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body
- Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Iron contributes to normal function of the immune system
- Iron contributes to normal cognitive function
- Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
Health claims apply in the context of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Who should not take iron supplements?
Both labels state that the products are not recommended for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We do not recommend these products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
The iron product is intended for adults, and the multivitamin for adults and children from 15 years of age. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy, talk to your doctor about the choice.

Frequently asked questions
Should iron supplements be taken on an empty stomach?
The label contains no such instruction. It gives only the dose: one tablet a day, with a 30-day course for the iron product. Choose a time that suits you and do not increase the daily dose.
Can I take both products at the same time?
Both contain iron, so the amounts add up: 15 mg from the iron product plus 5 mg from the multivitamin is 20 mg a day. In practice it is easier to choose one product. Both options are available at Vissveselibai.lv, so you can decide by dose and price: €3.20 or €3.30 per 30 days.
Why calculate the price per 30 days?
Because the pack price alone says little: what matters is how many days the pack lasts. For both iron products the price per 30 days equals the pack price, since 30 tablets is 30 days. At Vissveselibai.lv the price per 30 days starts at €1.43, and for half of the 78 products where it is calculated it is up to €3.52.
How fast will my order arrive?
Delivery across Latvia takes 1–3 working days after payment, and it is free from €20. If your order is smaller, the cheapest delivery costs €1.99. You can also order at Vissveselibai.lv without registering.
Are these products made in Latvia?
Yes, the labels state that the products are made in Latvia. The seller is SIA “4Health”, registration number 41503064288, and the store operates in Latvia. You have 14 days to return an unopened product in its original packaging, including orders placed without registration.
If you want a clear iron course, take the iron product at €3.20: the dose is 15 mg and the pack covers exactly 30 days. If you need a wider range of vitamins and minerals, the multivitamin at €3.30 is the second option, also at €3.30 per 30 days. Both can be ordered at Vissveselibai.lv, where free delivery starts at €20 and delivery takes 1–3 working days.
