WeNatal Iron+ 30 Capsules by WeNatal is a targeted prenatal iron supplement formulated with a highly bioavailable form of iron and synergistic cofactors to support healthy red blood cell production, oxygen transport, and energy metabolism during pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Key Benefits of a Bioavailable Iron Formula with Synergistic Cofactors
-
Iron (as Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate) - Supports healthy hemoglobin synthesis and promotes red blood cell production with a gentle, highly absorbable form that minimizes gastrointestinal discomfort
-
Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) - Promotes non-heme iron absorption by maintaining iron in its reduced, bioavailable ferrous state within the gastrointestinal tract
-
Folate (as Methylfolate) - Supports normal red blood cell maturation and maintains DNA synthesis as a critical cofactor in hematopoiesis
-
Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin) - Promotes healthy nerve function and supports red blood cell formation in its active, methylated form for optimal bioavailability
-
Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) - Supports hemoglobin synthesis and maintains normal amino acid metabolism as a cofactor in heme production
-
Copper - Promotes iron mobilization from storage and supports ceruloplasmin activity, which is essential for iron metabolism and utilization
-
Energy Metabolism Support - Maintains cellular energy production by supporting adequate iron-dependent enzymatic activity involved in mitochondrial respiration
-
Oxygen Transport Support - Promotes efficient oxygen delivery to maternal and fetal tissues by supporting healthy hemoglobin and myoglobin levels
-
Immune System Maintenance - Maintains normal immune cell function through adequate iron status, which is essential for lymphocyte proliferation and activity
Why This Formula Matters
WeNatal Iron+ addresses one of the most prevalent nutritional gaps during pregnancy by pairing ferrous bisglycinate chelate with Vitamin C in a single capsule, a combination that meaningfully supports iron absorption compared to non-chelated iron forms taken without absorption cofactors. The inclusion of methylfolate and methylcobalamin in their active forms bypasses common metabolic conversion steps that can limit efficacy in individuals with MTHFR gene variants, which are prevalent in the general population. This multi-cofactor approach supports the full hematopoietic pathway rather than addressing iron status in isolation, making it a clinically relevant choice for the elevated iron demands of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is WeNatal Iron+ designed for?
WeNatal Iron+ is formulated for women who are pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding and require additional iron support beyond what is provided in a standard prenatal multivitamin. It is also appropriate for women with low iron status identified through routine laboratory testing, as confirmed by a qualified healthcare provider.
Why is ferrous bisglycinate chelate used instead of other forms of iron?
Ferrous bisglycinate chelate is a form of iron bound to two glycine molecules, which supports absorption through a dedicated amino acid transport pathway in the intestinal lining. This mechanism promotes higher bioavailability and is associated with a lower incidence of gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and constipation compared to ferrous sulfate, which is commonly found in standard iron supplements.
How many capsules are in each bottle and what is the serving size?
Each bottle contains 30 capsules. The recommended serving is 1 capsule per day, providing a 30-day supply at the standard dose. Dosing should be confirmed with a healthcare provider based on individual iron status and clinical needs.
Can WeNatal Iron+ be taken alongside a prenatal multivitamin?
WeNatal Iron+ is designed to complement a prenatal multivitamin when additional iron support is needed. Because prenatal vitamins often contain iron, it is important to review combined iron intake with a qualified healthcare provider to ensure total daily intake is appropriate for individual needs.
When is the best time to take WeNatal Iron+?
Taking iron supplements on an empty stomach or with a small amount of food and a source of Vitamin C is generally associated with optimal absorption. However, individuals who experience gastrointestinal sensitivity may find it more comfortable to take iron with a meal. A healthcare provider can offer personalized guidance based on individual tolerance and iron status.
Does WeNatal Iron+ cause constipation?
Ferrous bisglycinate chelate is selected in part for its improved gastrointestinal tolerability profile compared to non-chelated iron forms. While individual responses vary, this form of iron is generally associated with a lower likelihood of constipation and nausea. Adequate hydration and dietary fiber intake also support digestive comfort when supplementing with iron.
