Frequently Asked Questions
When should I take Fefol capsules?
One capsule should be taken daily, preferably at a similar time each day. Taking it on an empty stomach can promote iron absorption, while taking it with food can help minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
What are delayed release capsules?
Delayed release capsules are specially designed to release their active ingredients at a later stage, rather than immediately after ingestion. This can help improve the absorption of certain nutrients, reduce the likelihood of stomach irritation, and provide a more sustained effect over time. Delayed release capsules are particularly beneficial for sensitive nutrients like iron and folic acid, which can cause stomach upset when released too quickly.
How do I take Fefol Iron & Folic Acid Delayed Release Capsules?
Fefol Iron & Folic Acid Delayed Release Capsules should be taken once per day, as directed on the product packaging.
Why take iron with folic acid?
Iron is needed for the production of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and helps prevent and treat anaemia. Folic acid or folate is for DNA synthesis and cell division, making it particularly important during certain times such as pregnancy. When combined, iron and folic acid can effectively prevent and treat iron and folate deficiencies, improve energy levels, and support overall wellbeing. Read our article on the topic for more information on why take iron and folic acid.
Do Iron capsules have side effects?
Iron capsules can sometimes cause side effects such as nausea, constipation, or other stomach upset. However, delayed release capsules are designed to reduce these potential side effects by slowly releasing iron into the body over time, which can help minimise gastrointestinal discomfort and improve overall tolerance.
