Why iron, and why this iron

Iron supplements have a bad reputation with children, and they earned it. The syrups stain, the tablets taste of metal, and the bottle ends up forgotten in the cupboard.

Chubears Iron uses ferric pyrophosphate (SunActiv Fe, standardised to 8% elemental iron), a form of iron chosen partly for its mild taste. Two chewed strawberry gummies give 13 mg of iron. There is no liquid to swish around the teeth.

Does my child need iron?

That is a blood-test question, not a label question. Iron deficiency is common in Indian children, but giving iron to a child who does not need it is not a good idea. Ask your paediatrician before you start, and follow their advice on how long to continue.

How to take it

  • Two gummies a day, chewed well, or as your doctor advises.
  • Keep it apart from calcium and milk. Calcium reduces iron absorption, so give the Iron gummy a couple of hours away from milk or the Calcium gummy.
  • Vitamin C helps. A fruit such as an orange or guava alongside it helps the body take up iron.
Important: accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. These gummies look and taste like sweets. Keep the bottle closed and out of reach. If a child eats several, call your doctor or go to the nearest hospital immediately.

Questions about Iron gummies

How many gummies a day?

Two. That is one serving and gives 13 mg of iron.

Will it stain teeth like iron syrup?

The gummies are chewed, not swished, so the staining that comes with liquid iron is much less of a problem. Brush as usual.

Can my teenager take it?

Yes. Two gummies give a teenager about half the daily allowance. Your doctor may suggest a different dose.

Can I give it with the Calcium gummy?

Yes, but at different times of day. Calcium interferes with iron absorption when the two are taken together.

Does my child actually need iron?

That needs a blood test. Ask your paediatrician before starting any iron supplement.
