NatroVital Iron + Blood Support

Traditional Herbal Ingredients in NatroVital Iron + Blood Support

Rather than relying on iron alone, this formula supports the wider blood-building process—including digestion, assimilation, and the body’s ability to utilise iron effectively over time. That’s why Iron + Blood Support pairs iron with vitamin C and traditionally used herbs that have long been valued for blood nourishment and vitality.

Iron + Blood Support contains only the pure concentrated plant compounds extracted during our herbal process, along with a modest amount of iron and vitamin C in highly bioavailable forms. Unlike capsules, tablets, and powders—which include ground fibres, fillers, and inactive material—our liquid tonic delivers the active constituents in a clean, easy-to-absorb format designed to work in harmony with the body’s natural iron regulation.

• Organic Amla Berry (Emblica officinalis): Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to support digestion and nourishment, Amla provides naturally occurring vitamin C–like compounds that help improve iron uptake. It sets the foundation for absorption by supporting how nutrients are taken in from the gut.
• Codonopsis (Codonopsis pilosula): Traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine to support blood building and physical vitality, Codonopsis is valued for strengthening digestion and assimilation. It helps the body make better use of nutrients and herbs, creating the foundation for effective iron uptake and utilisation.
• Organic Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis): A classic blood-nourishing herb in traditional Chinese medicine, Dong Quai has long been used to support healthy blood quality and circulation. Rather than supplying iron itself, it supports the body’s ability to build and maintain healthy blood once iron is available.
• Organic Liquorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Traditionally used to support digestion and harmonise herbal blends, Liquorice plays an important role in helping iron-support formulas be better tolerated and more effective when used consistently.
• Organic Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica): A highly regarded nutritive herb in Western herbal medicine, Nettle Leaf has traditionally been used to support mineral intake and overall vitality. Naturally rich in iron and other trace minerals, it has long been valued for nourishing the blood and supporting energy levels.
• Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa): Traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine as a deep blood-nourishing herb, Rehmannia supports gradual rebuilding during prolonged fatigue or depletion. Rather than acting as a stimulant, it is valued for helping restore blood reserves over time, making it especially relevant when iron support needs to be sustained.
• Organic Schisandra Berry (Schisandra chinensis): Traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine to support liver function and regulation, Schisandra plays an important role in how nutrients, including iron, are processed and managed within the body. It is valued for supporting endurance and recovery as blood vitality improves.
• Yellow Dock Root (Rumex crispus): Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support digestion and blood nourishment, Yellow Dock has long been paired with iron-rich herbs and foods. It is valued for helping the body better assimilate iron and support healthy blood over time.
• Iron Diglycinate: A highly bioavailable, chelated form of iron selected for its efficient absorption and improved tolerance. Each 5mL serve provides 8 mg of elemental iron, making it suitable for consistent, longer-term use where digestive comfort and effective uptake are priorities.
• Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C): A buffered, non-acidic form of vitamin C included to support iron absorption and utilisation. Each 5mL serve provides 50 mg of vitamin C, traditionally used alongside iron-rich foods and herbs to support healthy blood formation.

Our Commitment to Purity – Excipients in Iron + Blood Support

• Vegetable Glycerine: Acts as a natural sweetener and preservative, without introducing synthetic additives or altering the herbal profile. It ensures the herbal constituents remain stable and bioavailable, while giving the tonic a naturally smooth taste.
• Purified Grander Water: We use only Grander water, which is completely free from chlorine and fluoride. This ensures a clean base for the herbs and contributes to the overall purity of the tonic. Grander water is known for its revitalised structure, making it an ideal carrier for delicate plant extracts.
• 100% Alcohol-Free: After extraction, the alcohol is gently removed under vacuum at low temperatures to preserve the integrity of the herbs. The resulting concentrate is then blended with glycerine and purified water to create a clean, stable, and completely alcohol-free tonic suitable for those sensitive to alcohol—including children, those avoiding alcohol for health or personal reasons, and individuals with liver, inflammatory or neurological conditions.
• Vegan & Allergen-Free: Our formula contains no animal-derived ingredients, artificial preservatives, synthetic flavours, colours, or sweeteners. It is also free from gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, nuts, corn, and yeast.

How NatroVital Iron + Blood Support is Made

We begin with a pharmaceutical-grade alcohol extraction to draw out the full spectrum of active compounds from the raw herbs. This traditional method allows us to access the broad phytochemical profile needed for a potent result.

Once complete, the alcohol is carefully removed under vacuum at low temperatures to protect the herbal integrity. The final extract is then combined with vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water to produce a gentle, high-quality herbal tonic with no residual alcohol.

Unlike capsules, tablets, or even powders that require breakdown in the digestive tract, herbal tonics deliver active compounds in a readily absorbable liquid form. There are no synthetic binders, fillers, additives, or flavours—just pure plant extracts in a clean base. They begin delivering herbal compounds from the moment they reach your mouth—no breakdown required.

Locally Made with Integrity: Every bottle of NatroVital Iron + Blood Support is proudly made by us at our Australian premises. As a small, independently owned business, we’re dedicated to local craftsmanship, ingredient purity, and formulas that reflect genuine care.

NatroVital Iron + Blood Support Common Questions

◄What is the recommended dosage for NatroVital Iron + Blood Support and how should I take it?

For adults, the typical dosage is 5mL once daily. This may be adjusted based on individual needs and iron status, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For best results, take consistently over several weeks.

Measure the recommended dosage and mix with a small amount of water or juice. Drink the entire mixture, including any residue, to ensure full herbal benefit.

◄Why does Iron + Blood Support only contain 8 mg of iron?

At first glance, 8 mg of iron can look low compared to many iron supplements on the shelf. However, more iron does not automatically mean better results.

The body tightly regulates iron absorption through a hormone called hepcidin. When iron doses are pushed too high, hepcidin rises and can block further iron uptake—meaning much of the extra iron never makes it into the bloodstream. Instead, excess unabsorbed iron passes through the digestive tract.

This helps explain why some people plateau on high-dose iron supplements, or experience side effects such as digestive discomfort, constipation, or dark stools—common signs that iron is not being well absorbed or utilised.

Iron + Blood Support is designed to work with the body’s natural iron regulation rather than against it. The 8 mg dose is intentionally measured to support consistent absorption and effective use over time, without overwhelming the body’s regulatory systems.

◄Isn’t more iron better for raising ferritin?

Not necessarily.

Ferritin reflects how much iron the body has been able to store safely, not how much iron has been consumed. If iron is taken in amounts the body cannot effectively absorb or use, it is unlikely to contribute meaningfully to ferritin levels—even when intake is high.

Raising ferritin requires more than iron alone. Digestion, absorption, blood building, and regulation all play a role in whether iron is incorporated into healthy blood and stored appropriately.

By providing a measured iron intake alongside traditionally used blood-nourishing herbs, Iron + Blood Support focuses on creating the right conditions for iron utilisation and storage, rather than relying on excessive iron dosing.

◄How can a lower iron dose still be effective?

Iron is only one part of the blood-building process.

The body is far more responsive to iron when it feels supported rather than overwhelmed. When digestion is functioning well and blood nourishment is supported, the body is more likely to absorb and make use of iron efficiently—rather than blocking it or allowing it to pass through unused.

By providing a measured amount of iron alongside traditionally used blood-nourishing herbs, Iron + Blood Support works with the body’s natural rhythms. For many people, this approach supports more consistent progress over time compared with relying on higher-dose iron alone.

◄Is NatroVital Iron + Blood Support suitable for long-term use?

Yes.

Because Iron + Blood Support uses a gentle iron dose and works within normal iron regulation pathways, it is designed to be suitable for ongoing use—particularly for those who don’t tolerate standard iron supplements, experience digestive side effects, or have struggled to raise iron levels despite supplementation.

◄Who is this formula best suited for?

Iron + Blood Support is ideal for people who:
• have low or borderline iron levels
• feel fatigued or run down
• experience heavy menstrual loss
• have digestive sensitivity to iron
• have plateaued on conventional iron supplements

For severe deficiency or rapidly declining iron levels, higher-dose iron may still be required under practitioner guidance.

◄Why choose a liquid herbal iron tonic over tablets or capsules?

Liquid herbal tonics are absorbed more readily than tablets or capsules because they do not rely on breakdown in the digestive tract. This allows the body to access iron and supportive compounds more efficiently, without the fillers, binders, or additives commonly found in solid supplements.

Rather than relying on large iron doses to overcome poor absorption, Iron + Blood Support uses a highly absorbable form of iron in a liquid format, alongside traditionally used blood-building herbs to support the body’s ability to absorb, utilise, and store iron more effectively.

This approach is designed to:
• support iron absorption without triggering regulatory blocks
• reduce unabsorbed iron in the gut
• encourage efficient use of iron by the body
• support gradual, sustainable increases in ferritin
• be gentle enough for ongoing use

◄How long should I take Iron + Blood Support before re-testing?

Iron levels and ferritin typically change gradually. Many people choose to use Iron + Blood Support consistently for 8–16 weeks before re-testing iron studies, depending on their starting levels and individual needs. Your healthcare practitioner can guide the most appropriate timing for follow-up testing.

◄Are there other supplements that work well with this tonic?

Yes. Iron + Blood Support can be used alongside other NatroVital formulations depending on individual needs. It pairs well with Liposomal C & D to support iron absorption, Menstrual Harmony for those experiencing heavy menstrual loss, and Digestive Support where digestive function or nutrient absorption may be compromised.

◄Why choose NatroVital over other supplement brands?

NatroVital is a proudly Australian-owned and operated business, created by Greg Newson—a qualified naturopath, herbalist, and nutritionist with over 20 years of clinical experience. NatroVital was born out of frustration with the supplement industry. Too many products were loaded with synthetic fillers, binders, sweeteners, and unnecessary additives that offered little benefit—and often stood in the way of genuine healing.

At NatroVital, we believe that what’s left out of a supplement is just as important as what goes in. That’s why every one of our herbal tonics is made using only pure, concentrated herbal extracts—nothing more. All of our products, including Iron + Blood Support, are formulated and produced at our own facility here in Australia. We're a small, family-run business committed to clean, honest, and effective natural health solutions you can trust.

◄Is Iron + Blood Support suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Absolutely. NatroVital Iron + Blood Support is 100% plant-based and free from animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

◄Are there any precautions or interactions to be aware of?

While the ingredients in Iron + Blood Support are traditionally well-tolerated, please be aware of the following considerations:

Iron supplementation: Avoid use if you have iron overload conditions such as haemochromatosis, or if iron levels are already elevated, unless directed by your healthcare practitioner.
Anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications: Dong Quai may influence blood clotting. Use caution if taking blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, aspirin, or similar agents.
Blood pressure or potassium-altering medications: Liquorice may affect blood pressure and potassium levels in susceptible individuals. Use caution if taking antihypertensive medications or potassium-altering drugs.
Hormone-sensitive conditions: Dong Quai has traditionally been used for female reproductive health and may not be suitable for individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions unless advised by a practitioner.
Pregnancy: This formula is not recommended during pregnancy unless prescribed by a qualified healthcare practitioner.
Allergies: Avoid if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the listed ingredients.

Always consult your practitioner if you’re taking medication, have a health condition, or are unsure if this tonic is suitable for you.

◄Is NatroVital Iron + Blood Support a therapeutic medicine, and why isn’t it listed with the TGA?

NatroVital Iron + Blood Support is made using traditional herbal knowledge and is professionally formulated by qualified health practitioners. It is not listed with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and does not claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

This tonic is designed to support healthy blood, iron utilisation, and vitality through traditional herbal practice. Please consult your healthcare provider if you’re unsure whether this tonic is right for your needs.

In Australia, only products that are listed or registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) are permitted to make therapeutic claims. As NatroVital Iron + Blood Support is not TGA-listed, we are unable to state specific health outcomes—even when supported by traditional use or research. Instead, we explain how herbs have been traditionally used in herbal medicine so you can make informed decisions about your health.

We’ve chosen not to list this product with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) so that we can continue to speak openly about the long-standing traditional uses of herbs. TGA listing brings strict language restrictions that often prevent us from sharing this knowledge clearly. It also requires manufacturing on a much larger scale through licensed facilities, along with substantial initial and ongoing registration costs. These factors significantly increase production expenses and limit flexibility. By creating small-batch formulas using clean, high-quality ingredients, we’re able to keep our tonics affordable and stay true to our herbal roots—without compromising quality or integrity.

Unlike large-scale TGA-licensed manufacturers, we create our tonics using a unique process that removes alcohol after extraction and replaces it with natural vegetable glycerin. This method preserves the herbal actives while creating a clean, alcohol-free final product. It’s a more labour-intensive process that isn’t offered by conventional manufacturers, but it allows us to stay true to our values of purity, quality, and making traditional herbal support affordable and available without compromise.

Each NatroVital tonic is created with a hands-on approach that respects the living nature of the herbs. We believe that passion, care, and healing intention are just as important as the ingredients themselves—qualities often lost in large-scale, industrial production. Our small-batch methods honour traditional herbal wisdom while delivering pure, effective tonics crafted with purpose.
