PEER REVIEWED

Means each Land Lab formulation is independently examined by leading experts across nutrition and medicine. We invite doctors, dietitians, naturopaths, and midwives to rigorously review our formulations and share honest, evidence-based feedback that informs every decision. Their scrutiny ensures every ingredient and dosage aligns with the highest clinical standards.

Built intelligently to improve iron delivery, not to just add more iron.

Formulated to be gentle on the stomach, highly bioavailable and suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Land Lab Iron™ combines Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate, 200mg grass-fed bovine lactoferrin, Kakadu Plum and activated cofactors to support the whole iron pathway; from absorption and transport through to utilisation.

Clinical studies have shown that the combination of lactoferrin and iron bisglycinate raises haemoglobin and ferritin more effectively than standard ferrous sulphate, while causing significantly fewer gastrointestinal side effects, including constipation. We pair these ingredients with a whole-food Vitamin C from Kakadu Plum (First Nations sourced) and cofactors that improve iron absorption and utilisation.

This formulation offers a smart solution for individuals who have struggled to improve their iron stores and ferritin levels despite supplementing with traditional iron salts.

Features 200mg grass-fed Australian bovine lactoferrin

Land Lab Iron™ contains an evidence-based dose of 200mg grass-fed bovine lactoferrin. Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein found in breast milk that supports iron absorption and utilisation. It has been shown to reduce inflammatory signals such as IL-6 and hepcidin, which can impair iron absorption, while also helping transport iron across the intestinal lining. Together, these mechanisms support more efficient iron uptake with fewer gastrointestinal side effects than conventional ferrous salts.

Works differently to traditional iron

Most iron supplements focus on replacing iron alone. Land Lab Iron™ combines Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate with 200 mg of grass-fed bovine lactoferrin to support iron absorption, transport and utilisation. This whole-pathway approach is designed to help your body use iron more effectively, not simply consume more of it.

Highly bioavailable form of iron

Land Lab Iron™ provides 24 mg of Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate, a chelated form of iron with superior absorption and gastrointestinal tolerance compared with conventional ferrous sulphate. Ferrochel® has been widely studied for its bioavailability and is less likely to cause common digestive side effects associated with traditional iron salts.

Specific activated cofactors: B12, Folate, Copper

Land Lab Iron™ includes activated vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), Quatrefolic® levomefolate and copper to support healthy red blood cell production and iron metabolism. These nutrients work alongside iron to help transport, utilise and maintain healthy iron status.

Multi-action formulation

Land Lab Iron™ combines Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate with 200 mg of grass-fed bovine lactoferrin to support iron absorption, transport and utilisation. Clinical studies have shown this combination raises haemoglobin and ferritin more effectively than standard ferrous salts. Rather than focusing solely on iron intake, the formulation supports the entire iron pathway. (Zhao et al., 2022; Christofi et al., 2024; McCarthy & O’Callaghan, 2024).

400mg Kakadu Plum as a whole-food source of vitamin C

Contains 400mg of Australian Kakadu Plum, the richest natural source of vitamin C in the world. Vitamin C supports the absorption of non-heme iron, and meta-analyses have shown that co-supplementing iron with vitamin C improves haemoglobin more effectively than iron alone. Kakadu Plum also provides naturally occurring phytonutrients in a whole-food form.

Pairs seamlessly with Mother Dose™

Designed to complement Mother Dose™ for those who need targeted iron support during preconception, pregnancy or postpartum. Mother Dose™ does not contain iron, allowing iron to be supplemented separately based on pathology, ferritin levels and practitioner guidance.

Backed by rigorous research and built for social impact

Every active ingredient and dosage has been selected using clinical evidence, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Land Lab Iron™ is produced in Australia under GMP standards and supports maternal and nutritional equity through the Motherlines Foundation.

Rigorously validated and independently verified

Clinician-formulated, TGA-listed and independently third-party tested for identity, purity and label accuracy. Formulated for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding when taken as directed. Every batch is manufactured to rigorous Australian quality standards.

Description

Land Lab Iron™ is a clinician-formulated iron supplement designed to support the entire iron pathway, from absorption and transport through to utilisation. Effective iron support requires more than iron alone.

Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate provides a highly bioavailable, gut-friendly form of iron that is better tolerated than conventional ferrous sulphate. Grass-fed bovine lactoferrin supports iron absorption, transport and utilisation by helping regulate inflammatory signals involved in iron metabolism. Australian Kakadu Plum provides a whole-food source of vitamin C, supporting the absorption of non-heme iron while delivering naturally occurring phytonutrients.

Together, these ingredients support the whole iron pathway rather than simply increasing iron intake. Clinical studies have shown that combining iron bisglycinate with lactoferrin raises haemoglobin and ferritin more effectively than conventional ferrous salts, while improving gastrointestinal tolerance.

What make us different?

Most iron supplements focus on replacing what's missing. Land Lab Iron™ focuses on helping the body make better use of the iron it's given.

By combining a gentle, highly absorbable form of iron with lactoferrin and whole-food vitamin C from Kakadu Plum, the formulation supports healthy iron levels while remaining remarkably easy on the digestive system. The result: measurable improvements in haemoglobin and ferritin, fewer adverse effects, and a formulation designed for sustained, real-world adherence.

LAND LAB IRON™ 
SUPPORTS THE
WHOLE PATHWAY

Most iron supplements focus on delivery alone. Land Lab Iron™ takes a more comprehensive approach. Our Triple Action Iron System is built for better uptake by combining highly bioavailable Ferrochel® iron, clinically studied lactoferrin and Kakadu Plum to support the delivery, absorption and utilisation of iron throughout the body. Because effective iron support isn't just about how much iron you take, it's about how well your body can use it.

Step 1: Iron enters gently

Land Lab Iron™ uses Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate; a highly absorbable form of iron that is bound to amino acids. This allows it to be absorbed more efficiently while remaining gentler on the digestive system than many traditional iron supplements.

Step 2: The blockage is cleared

When the body is under stress or low-grade inflammation, it produces a signal called IL-6, which triggers a hormone called hepcidin. Hepcidin's job is to shut down iron absorption. It closes the gate. This is often why iron supplements have failed before - not because you weren't taking enough, but because inflammation had the gate shut. Lactoferrin reduces IL-6, which lowers hepcidin and reopens the absorption pathway.

Step 3: Absorption is amplified

Kakadu Plum provides a whole-food source of vitamin C to help support iron absorption, while B12, folate and copper help support healthy red blood cell production and iron utilisation.

Together, these ingredients form a multi-action system designed to support the delivery, absorption and utilisation of iron throughout the body.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Land Lab Iron™ different from other iron supplements?

Most iron supplements focus on delivering more iron. Our Iron takes a different approach.

It combines Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate, bovine lactoferrin and Kakadu Plum to support iron absorption, transport and utilisation. This multi-action approach is designed to help improve iron status while remaining gentle on the gut.

Will it cause constipation or digestive discomfort?

Land Lab Iron™ was specifically formulated with tolerance in mind.

It contains iron bisglycinate, a chelated form of iron known for its superior tolerability compared to traditional iron salts, alongside lactoferrin, which has been associated with fewer gastrointestinal side effects in clinical research.

As with any supplement, individual experiences may vary.

Why does it contain lactoferrin?

Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring iron-binding protein that plays an important role in iron regulation.

Research suggests lactoferrin may support iron absorption and utilisation while also helping improve ferritin and haemoglobin levels. Multiple systematic reviews have found lactoferrin-based formulations to be highly effective and well tolerated compared to conventional iron supplementation.

Why does it only contain 24mg of iron?

When it comes to iron, more isn't always better.

Land Lab Iron™ uses 24mg of Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate, a highly bioavailable form of iron, alongside ingredients that support absorption and utilisation. The formulation focuses on helping the body use iron efficiently rather than relying on very high doses alone.

Can I take Land Lab Iron™ with Mother Dose™?

Yes.

Land Lab Iron™ was intentionally designed to complement Mother Dose™.

Because Mother Dose™ is iron-free by design, Land Lab Iron™ allows individuals to personalise their iron intake based on their pathology, practitioner recommendations and individual needs.

Is Land Lab Iron™ suitable during pregnancy?

Land Lab Iron™ may be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding where iron supplementation is required.

As with any supplement during pregnancy, we recommend discussing your individual needs and pathology results with your healthcare practitioner before use.

How long does it take to work?

This depends on your iron status, ferritin levels, dietary intake and individual circumstances.

Some people notice improvements in energy and wellbeing within a few weeks, while meaningful changes in ferritin and haemoglobin often take longer. Consistency is important, and follow-up pathology testing is recommended where appropriate.

When should I take Land Lab Iron™?

Take one capsule daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

For optimal absorption, it is best taken away from tea, coffee and large doses of calcium.

Can men take Land Lab Iron™?

Absolutely.
While iron deficiency is particularly common among menstruating women and during pregnancy, Land Lab Iron™ is suitable for adults of all genders who require iron support.

Who is Land Lab Iron™ designed for?

Land Lab Iron™ may be particularly beneficial for:

• Individuals with low ferritin or iron deficiency
• Women with heavy menstrual bleeding
• Pregnancy and postpartum (under healthcare guidance)
• Endurance athletes and high-intensity exercisers
• Plant-based and low-heme-iron diets
• Shift workers and high-demand lifestyles

Does Land Lab Iron™ contain any allergens?

Land Lab Iron™ contains bovine-derived lactoferrin.

It is not suitable for individuals with a cow's milk protein allergy.

Please refer to the product label for the full ingredient list before use.

Who should not take Iron?

Iron supplements are not suitable for everyone.

Land Lab Iron™ should not be used by individuals with iron overload conditions, (e.g. haemochromatosis), unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Keep out of reach of children and always follow the recommended dosage instructions.

22 EVIDENCE BACKED INGREDIENTS

IRON (as bisglycinate chelate, Ferrochel®)

The gentlest, best-absorbed form of iron available.

The gentlest, best-absorbed form of iron available. Bound to amino acids, it absorbs without creating the free radical activity that makes conventional iron hard on the gut - and it's been shown to be absorbed up to four times more efficiently than standard ferrous sulfate.

BOVINE LACTOFERRIN

A natural iron-binding protein found in breast milk and mucosal secretions.

A natural iron-binding protein found in breast milk and mucosal secretions. At 200mg - the evidence-based therapeutic dose - lactoferrin reduces the inflammatory signals that close down iron absorption, reopening pathways that stress, inflammation or chronic deficiency can shut.

KAKADU PLUM

An Australian native plant with the highest recorded vitamin C content in the plant kingdom

An Australian native plant with the highest recorded vitamin C content in the plant kingdom - up to 75x that of an orange. Vitamin C enhances non-heme iron absorption and provides antioxidant protection against oxidative stress

FOLATE (as Quatrefolic®, levomefolate glucosamine)

The activated form of folate - ready to use without conversion.

The activated form of folate - ready to use without conversion. Essential for red blood cell formation and particularly important for those with MTHFR gene variants who struggle to convert standard folic acid.

B12 (as co-methylcobalamin)

The active, bioavailable form of B12, which the body can use immediately.

The active, bioavailable form of B12, which the body can use immediately. Required for healthy red blood cell production - and included because iron deficiency can mask a B12 deficiency, making it easy to address one and miss the other.

COPPER (as copper gluconate)

An often-overlooked player in iron metabolism.

An often-overlooked player in iron metabolism. Copper is required for ceruloplasmin - the enzyme that converts iron into the form the body can transport and use. Without it, iron can accumulate without being properly utilised.

Our Social Impact Mission

Access to essential nutrition during pregnancy shouldn't be a privilege.

One in four pregnant Australian women can't afford prenatal vitamins. Micronutrient deficiencies during pregnancy are linked to increased risks of anaemia, preterm birth, low birth weight, and long-term health concerns for both mother and child.

That's why we created the Motherlines Foundation.

Every sale helps fund free prenatal supplements for Australian women experiencing financial hardship. Our DGR-registered charity, Motherlines Foundation, delivers evidence-based nutrition to the people who need it most, because every mother deserves support, not just those who can afford it.

Built-In Impact

Every sale helps to fund 10 months of free prenatal multivitamins for a pregnant Australian woman experiencing disadvantage.

Built on Responsibility

From ethical sourcing to a profit-for-purpose model, we embed responsible impact at every level of the organisation.
