“I finally had energy left at the end of the day. I felt like myself again.”
I'd spent years feeling exhausted, even after
a full night's sleep. By 3pm, I was running
on empty. My periods had become heavier in
my 40s, and my hair was shedding more.
I'd tried iron tablets before, but they
upset my stomach, and I never managed
to stick with them.
The biggest difference with Costenia was
how easy it was to make iron part of
my daily routine.
One raspberry strip, no pills to swallow,
no water, no fuss.
I didn't expect an overnight miracle.
But after consistently following my iron
routine and working with my doctor to
monitor my levels, I started noticing
that I wasn't quite so drained by
the afternoon.
What mattered most wasn't just the energy.
It was having something left for my
family and myself after work.
For the first time in ages, I felt like
I was getting the old me back.
Common Questions
It's made not to. There's no pill to swallow and no ferrous sulfate. Each strip has 19mg of iron.
The NIH sets the adult upper limit at 45mg a day, mainly because higher doses often cause nausea and constipation. Typical iron pills are around 65mg. If iron pills have wrecked your stomach before, this format exists for exactly that reason.
19mg covers 106% of your daily value. And your body absorbs a bigger share of a small dose than of a big one.
The secret isn't a huge dose. It's taking a small one every single day, which is what most women can't do with pills.
Everyone is different. Iron stores rebuild over weeks and months, not days. Take one strip daily and give it the full 90 days. That's why our guarantee is 90 days long.
If you want to track it, ask your doctor to recheck your ferritin at around 3 months.
Take it any time of day. Iron absorbs best away from coffee, tea and calcium, so leave a gap of an hour or two when you can.
Iron can affect some medications (like thyroid medication and some antibiotics). If you take any prescription, ask your pharmacist about timing.
Raspberry, sweetened with monk fruit and stevia. It melts on your tongue, so there's nothing to wash down and no metallic aftertaste.
Your tins ship automatically every 30, 90 or 180 days, depending on your plan, at your subscriber price. Skip, pause or cancel anytime from your account or the link in your email, at least 24 hours before your next billing date.

- have been told your iron is high (for example hemochromatosis)

Strips vs. pills
Dear iron pills,
it's not me. It's you.
Nausea. Constipation. Cramps. Metallic burps. That's why so many women quit iron halfway through the bottle.
 Iron Strips | Iron pills | |
|---|---|---|
| Gentle on your stomach | Made to be gentle | Often nausea, constipation, cramps |
| No pill to swallow | ✓ | ✕ |
| No water needed | ✓ | ✕ |
| No metallic aftertaste | ✓ | ✕ |
| Iron per serving | 19mg gentle | Often 65mg |
| Lives in your bag | ✓ | ✕ |
| Cheapest on the shelf | ✕ | ✓ |
P.S. Yes, a pharmacy bottle costs less. But a half-finished bottle in the drawer isn't much of a saving. Iron only works if you actually take it.
How to use
One strip a day.
That's the whole routine.
Grab a strip

Pop it on your tongue

Keep the tin where you'll see it. Bag, desk, car.

FAQ
Got questions?
We've got honest answers.
How long until I notice a difference?
Everyone's different. Iron stores rebuild over weeks and months, not days. Take one strip every day and give it the full 90 days. That's why the guarantee is 90 days long.
If you want numbers, ask your doctor to check your ferritin before you start and again at around 3 months.
Is 19mg really enough?
19mg is 106% of your Daily Value. And your body absorbs a bigger share of a small dose than of a big one.
The real secret isn't a huge dose. It's a small one you actually take every single day.
Will it upset my stomach like other iron?
It's made not to. There's no pill and no ferrous sulfate, just 19mg of iron.
The NIH sets the adult upper limit at 45mg a day, mainly because higher doses often cause nausea and constipation. Typical iron pills are around 65mg.
Can I take it with coffee, tea or medication?
Take it any time of day. Iron absorbs best away from coffee, tea and calcium, so leave an hour or two when you can.
Iron can affect some medications, like thyroid medication and some antibiotics. If you take a prescription, ask your pharmacist about timing.
Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Please check with your doctor first. The same goes if you're under 18, take medication, have a medical condition, or have been told your iron is high.
I have an MTHFR variant. Is the folic acid okay?
According to the CDC, people with MTHFR variants can process all types of folate, including folic acid. Iron Strips contain 400mcg DFE from 240mcg folic acid.
If your doctor recommends a specific form of folate, check with them first.
What does it taste like?
Raspberry, sweetened with monk fruit and stevia. It melts on your tongue, so there's nothing to wash down and no metallic aftertaste.
