Vitabiotics Ultra Iron Tablets, Pack of 30

Product Information

Ultra Iron is suitable for people of all ages and is particularly suitable for during pregnancy, menstruating women, athletes and swimmers. Ultra Iron is formulated for long-term use and can be taken for as long as required. Whether you love ironing or not, you’ll likely need a steam iron, even if you wear clothes that don’t generally need ironing. It’s a fact of life that all clothes look better when pressed, and at some point, you’ll have a wedding or a job interview to go to, even if you aren’t ironing work clothes as a matter of course, each week. The soleplate is large and smooth, and there’s even a texture brush attachment to remove any debris before ironing. Our only slight criticisms are that there’s no built-in de-calc facility – so, depending on how hard your water is, you’ll need to buy and use a descaler from time to time – and the iron is heavier than many others.

These tablets are on the large side, and you’re meant to take two per day before meals, so if you hate swallowing tablets you may not like them. But buyers report that they’re gentle on the tummy (“Unlike medical iron tablets that all cause constipation, I find these do not”) and good value for money. Steam generator irons are great if you iron regularly, especially if you iron lots of big items like bath towels and bed sheets. They are also bulkier than regular steam irons, so you need to have good storage space or not mind having them on display in your kitchen or laundry room.

The one downside is that these supplements aren’t vegan, because they contain whey protein. They’re suitable for vegetarians and coeliacs, though.

Different supplements contain different types of elemental iron,” says Hussain Abdeh, Superintendent Pharmacist at Medicine Direct. “Ferrous supplements are the most easily-absorbed iron supplements, due to their high solubility. Ferrous sulphate and ferrous fumarate are both very well absorbed.”

This iron asserts its confidence with its bold and striking colour, letting the world know that it’s not only attractive, but also able to take on any task at hand. Whether you find the smoothing of crumpled fabric soothing or just a necessary chore, our increased steam function and water tank capacity lets you effortlessly handle the task with ease. Really, all irons are steam irons these days, though a new generation of steam generator irons is taking steam to a new level and are incredibly popular with Mumsnet users.

Iron pills are a well-known treatment for anaemia (low red blood cells), so you’re told to take them after giving blood. But the best iron supplements are useful for everyone. It’s pretty hard to get your recommended level of iron from food, especially if you’re a veggie, vegan, dieting, or exercising a lot. Pregnancy and heavy periods can leave women so low on iron that they’re prescribed high-dose supplements, but the rest of us are likely to need a standard-dose supplement, too – especially when there’s a deadly virus circulating. The Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra has plenty of steam and an enjoyably powerful Steam Shot. It switches itself off if you forget about it, has a big tank, a glide-y ceramic soleplate, and is easy to clean. I like its heaviness, too. The whole iron feels strong and well-engineered. The main difference between a steam iron and a steam generator iron is that steam generators have separate large water tanks, which are much more convenient and have a larger capacity to produce more steam. It also means the handheld iron is lightweight without any water in it. You can also improve the absorption of your iron supplement if you take it properly. “You’ll normally be told to take iron supplements on an empty stomach, around one hour before a meal,” says Hussain. “This is because taking them with food can reduce how much iron is absorbed into the gut. If you can take them with a drink that is high in vitamin C, such as orange juice, this helps your body to absorb more iron.” All Vitabiotics products have been developed using the latest research and contain effective levels of vitamins and minerals, while avoiding any excessive amounts, in accordance with official upper safe limits for vitamins and minerals.

It’s disappointing that I have to buy expensive distilled water for it, but I’ll put up with that for the quality of the finish. If you’re after something else, our guide to the Best irons has products at a wide range of prices. Verdict

The auto shut-off is an excellent safety feature. You won't have to worry about accidentally leaving it idle or if it falls over as it will automatically shut off to protect furniture, carpets and curious hands.

That's why, when we asked them for their honest recommendations, they told us that a good steam iron should be lightweight, have a large tank capacity and get rid of stubborn creases without you breaking a sweat. A self-cleaning function to reduce limescale build-up would be an added bonus. In short, the best steam irons should be effective, efficient and reasonably priced. Different models will offer different features. Here are a few useful features you might want to look out for: Breville’s iron isn’t called the DiamondXpress for no reason: you’ll find actual crushed diamonds in the soleplate, which Breville says improves longevity as well as glide. The iron is light and has a slightly smaller soleplate than some of the others we tested; however, the soleplate is wide and multi-directional which makes it very easy to manoeuvre around an ironing board. It was also one of the most stable irons in a standing position and has a nice, soft handle that feels comfortable in the hand. There’s also plenty of steam produced, making it easy to remove wrinkles without too much effort. The large, 350 ml water tank produces powerful 210 g bursts of steam, ideal for removing deep creases and wrinkles. The 20630 also has a vertical steam function, so you can get your hanging garments, curtains and upholstery as smooth as possible. The anti-drip feature enables you to iron delicate fabrics such as silk, without having to worry about water marks. Our favourite feature of the Supreme Steam Ultra Iron is its extra-long power cord that gives you the freedom to iron wherever you want! So set up in front of the TV and get lost in your favourite shows as you plough through that hefty pile of creased clothes.Cordless steam irons are indeed less powerful than their corded counterparts, better suited to light fabrics and smaller laundry loads than anything heavy-duty. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t convenient, practical and preferred by some Mumsnet users.
