Vitasauri® Kids Iron – gentle support for iron balance
Iron is essential for children's development – but not every iron supplement is well tolerated. Vitasauri® Kids Iron uses iron bisglycinate, lactoferrin, and vitamin C for optimal bioavailability without gastrointestinal discomfort.
Why do children need iron?
Iron is one of the most important trace elements in the body. It plays a central role in supplying cells with oxygen, cognitive development, and energy production. Iron deficiency can manifest through symptoms such as tiredness, difficulty concentrating, pale skin, and susceptibility to infections. Children in growth phases are particularly at risk, especially those who eat little to no meat, or have reduced iron absorption in the intestine due to conditions such as celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in five children aged 0 to 4 in industrialized countries is affected by iron deficiency.
Iron is essential for a child's healthy development. The importance of this nutrient is also reflected in the numerous approved health claims:
- Iron contributes to normal cognitive development
- It supports the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin
- Iron plays a role in energy metabolism and cell division
- It contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue
- Supports normal oxygen transport in the body
High-quality formula for excellent tolerability
The innovative combination of ingredients ensures that the dosage of iron bisglycinate can be kept as low as possible while maintaining maximum bioavailability. This keeps it effective and optimally well tolerated.
- Iron bisglycinate: A particularly bioavailable form of iron as a chelate complex with glycine. This form is especially well absorbed because it can be absorbed via amino acid transporters and is also gentle on the stomach.
- Lactoferrin: A natural iron transport protein that increases absorption in the intestine and helps deliver iron specifically to the cells. Studies show that lactoferrin can improve iron absorption by more than 50%.
- Vitamin C from acerola: Improves iron absorption many times over by facilitating the conversion of ferric iron into ferrous iron, which the body can use better. This means that even small amounts of vitamin C, between 50 and 100 mg, are said to improve iron absorption by up to 400%.
Sugar-free & tasty – perfect for children
Iron should not only be effective, but also pleasant to take - especially for children. This iron supplement has strawberry fruit powder and a subtle natural flavour added. It is sweetened with stevia instead of sugar. So you can give your child the iron powder without any problems, because it tastes deliciously fruity and can be stirred into water on its own or into food.

Frequently asked questions & answers from Edubily
Why might my child need additional iron in addition to their diet?
Iron deficiency is widespread worldwide, even in industrialized countries. Children on a vegetarian or vegan diet, premature babies, or children with certain digestive problems in particular have an increased risk of insufficient iron supply. Targeted supplementation can help optimally support iron balance.
Has the iron been tested for heavy metals?
Yes! Every batch is tested by an independent laboratory. You can request the test reports from us.
What is lactoferrin and why is it included?
Lactoferrin is a protein that occurs naturally in milk. It binds iron and promotes its targeted absorption in the body. Studies have shown that lactoferrin can increase iron absorption by over 50% while being particularly well tolerated.
Is the product lactose-free?
Yes! Although lactoferrin comes from milk, it contains no milk sugar (lactose) and is therefore also suitable for people with lactose intolerance. However, people with extremely sensitive intolerance should consult a doctor before taking it.
What is the best way to take the iron powder?
The recommended dosage is 2 level scoops (1 g powder) daily. Simply stir into 100 ml water or another liquid, or add to food. It can be taken independently of meals.
Why is vitamin C included?
Vitamin C significantly increases the bioavailability of iron by helping convert iron into a form that is more easily absorbed. Even small amounts of vitamin C can increase iron absorption by up to 400%. Vitamin C also supports the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Is the iron powder vegan?
No, because it contains lactoferrin, which is derived from milk. However, it is vegetarian and contains no animal-derived ingredients other than the milk protein.
