Tri-Iron is our delicious, herbal iron supplement, specifically created with pregnancy in mind, but just as useful for anyone dealing with low iron.
Gentle iron, without the usual side effects:
- Herbal iron that's easy on the stomach, without the constipation common to typical iron supplements
- Specifically created for pregnancy
- Just as useful for anyone with low iron, not only pregnant women
- Highly absorbable; 1/4 teaspoon is about 15mg of iron
- No alcohol, sugar, soy, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, milk, egg, preservatives, or major allergens
"I love Tri Iron! I have 3 girls who are menstrual and they all take it one week before and during their cycle. And I have personally used it for years." - Maria V.
*Individual results may vary.
Most iron supplements, whether prescribed during pregnancy or picked up at the pharmacy, come with a well-known tradeoff: constipation. Tri-Iron was created specifically with pregnancy in mind, using herbs instead of synthetic iron, which is a big part of why it's great for breastfeeding moms without plugging you up. It's highly absorbable too; 1/4 teaspoon is roughly equivalent to 15mg of iron.*
You don't have to be pregnant to benefit from it. Tri-Iron works just as well for anyone dealing with low iron, whether that's from a heavy monthly cycle, general fatigue, or anything else.*
Usage notes: Tri-Iron is typically used as needed throughout pregnancy, for short-term support rather than a daily habit. Our Pregnancy Essentials Kit and pregnancy page cover the rest of our pregnancy-friendly lineup.
A couple things to know:
- Iron supplements, even herbal ones, are a leading cause of accidental poisoning in young children. Keep this well out of reach, and call poison control right away if a child gets into it.
- Use the smallest effective dose; more isn't better with iron.

Product Note from TriLight Health Founder and Herbalist Lyle Bennett:
This is an all-organic, natural iron, the gentlest available, but be careful; as a maintenance dose, I only need 1/3 tsp about once a week as a grown male.*
