Supplement Profile
Active Ingredients
- Iron (as bisglycinate): 20 mg (225% RDA). A highly bioavailable and gentle form of iron that is well-absorbed and less likely to cause stomach upset compared to other iron salts. It plays a central role in the formation of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout the body.
- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C, non-GMO): 120 mg (133% RDA). This essential antioxidant enhances the absorption of iron in the gut, making sure your body gets the most out of every dose. It also supports immune function and overall cellular health.
- Methyl Cobalamin (Vitamin B12): 50 µg (2083% RDA). A biologically active form of vitamin B12 that supports red blood cell formation, neurological function, and energy production. It works closely with folate in cellular processes.
- L-Methyl Folate (Vitamin B9): 400 µg (100% RDA). The active, bioavailable form of folic acid, which is essential for red blood cell production and DNA synthesis. It is especially important during pregnancy and for individuals with MTHFR gene variations.
- Beetroot Extract (10:1): 120 mg. A concentrated source of dietary nitrates and phytonutrients that support blood flow, oxygen utilisation, and cardiovascular health.
- Polyphenols: 110 mg. Naturally occurring plant compounds that help improve iron absorption and provide antioxidant protection, reducing oxidative stress and supporting overall wellness.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Hemafit Q&A
- What is Hemafit Blood Support?Hemafit is a blood support supplement containing iron bisglycinate, vitamin C, methyl B12, L-methyl folate, beetroot extract, and polyphenols in vegan-friendly capsules.
- Why is the iron in Hemafit different from regular iron supplements?Iron bisglycinate is a chelated form where iron is bonded to glycine amino acids. This unique structure protects the iron from binding with dietary inhibitors like phytates and tannins, allowing for absorption via peptide transporters in the intestine. This results in significantly better absorption and far fewer stomach issues compared to conventional iron salts like ferrous sulfate
- Does Hemafit cause constipation or stomach upset?Iron bisglycinate is specifically chosen because it's well-tolerated and rarely causes stomach upset. Clinical studies show significantly fewer gastrointestinal side effects—including nausea, constipation, and stomach cramping—compared to traditional iron supplements .
- How should I take Hemafit for best results?Adults and children over 12 years: Take 1 capsule once daily, or as directed by your wellness provider. For optimal absorption, take on an empty stomach. Adding vitamin C (which is already included in the formulation) enhances absorption .
- Can I take Hemafit if I'm pregnant?Yes, Hemafit is considered safe in pregnancy and is often preferred because iron bisglycinate is better tolerated than conventional iron salts. Studies show better compliance during pregnancy when nausea and constipation are already common concerns . Always consult your healthcare provider.
- Is Hemafit vegan-friendly?Yes, Hemafit uses vegan-friendly capsules and is free from animal-derived ingredients.
- What allergens are NOT present in Hemafit?Hemafit is free from: wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, dairy, fish, nuts, eggs, GMOs, artificial colourants, sweeteners, and preservatives.
- What are the active ingredients in Hemafit?Each capsule contains: Iron (as bisglycinate) 20 mg, Vitamin C 120 mg, Methyl B12 50 µg, L-Methyl Folate 400 µg, Beetroot Extract 120 mg, and Polyphenols 110 mg.
- Why is methyl B12 used instead of cyanocobalamin?Methylcobalamin is the active, bioavailable form of vitamin B12 that doesn't require conversion by the body. Some people cannot convert other forms efficiently, so methyl B12 ensures immediate usability .
- Why is L-methyl folate used instead of folic acid?L-methyl folate is the active form of vitamin B9 that is immediately usable by the body. It's especially important for individuals with MTHFR gene variations who cannot convert folic acid effectively .
- What role does vitamin C play in Hemafit?Vitamin C significantly enhances iron absorption in the digestive tract. The 120 mg of vitamin C in each capsule helps ensure your body absorbs the maximum benefit from the iron .
- Can children take Hemafit?Children under 12 years should only take Hemafit as directed by their wellness provider. Dosing for children should be based on age, weight, and degree of iron deficiency.
- How long should I take Hemafit?Continue for approximately 3 months after hemoglobin levels normalise to replenish iron stores. Monitor periodically after treatment completion to detect recurrence . Always follow your healthcare provider's guidance.
- Are there any drug interactions I should know about?Iron can reduce absorption of certain medications, including tetracycline antibiotics, levothyroxine, and levodopa. Separate iron and these medications by at least 2–4 hours. No other drug interactions are known for Hemafit specifically.
- Can I take Hemafit with tea or coffee?No. Tea and coffee powerfully inhibit iron absorption and should be avoided within 1 hour of dosing. Calcium-rich foods and dairy should also be separated by at least 2 hours.
- Who should NOT take Hemafit?Do not use if you have haemochromatosis, haemosiderosis, haemolytic anaemia, or other conditions with iron overload. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting supplementation.
- What makes iron bisglycinate better absorbed?Iron bisglycinate is absorbed intact through intestinal peptide transporters (PepT1), bypassing the competitive DMT1 pathway used by inorganic iron salts. This reduces competition with other minerals and allows absorption even in the presence of dietary inhibitors .
- Is Hemafit safe for athletes?Yes. Athletes have 1.5x higher iron needs due to training-induced losses, and iron bisglycinate may help improve exercise capacity in those with iron insufficiency. Vegetarian and vegan athletes have even higher needs (up to 1.8x) and benefit from bioavailable iron supplementation.
- What should I do if I experience side effects?If gastrointestinal discomfort occurs, take Hemafit with food (though absorption may be reduced). If symptoms persist, consider alternate-day dosing, which has been shown to reduce side effects while maintaining similar efficacy. Consult your healthcare provider.
- Is Hemafit evaluated by SAHPRA?This health supplement has not been evaluated by SAHPRA for its quality, safety, efficacy, or intended use. Health supplements are intended to complement health or supplement the diet and are not intended to be used as treatment to cure illnesses.
Science
The ingredients in Hemafit are backed by a growing body of clinical research. Below is a summary of key studies on iron bisglycinate, methylated B-vitamins, and L-methyl folate—the active forms used in this formulation.
- Superior Efficacy of Iron Bisglycinate in Pregnancy
A comparative study of 150 pregnant women with iron deficiency anaemia found that ferrous bisglycinate significantly outperformed ferrous sulfate. After 8 weeks, the bisglycinate group showed higher mean haemoglobin levels (10.85 g/dL vs 9.76 g/dL) and serum ferritin levels (29.96 ng/mL vs 23.64 ng/mL), with better tolerability.

- Superior GI Tolerability of Iron Bisglycinate
A randomized, double-blind study comparing low-dose iron formulas in pregnancy found that ferrous bisglycinate 25 mg had the most favourable gastrointestinal side-effect profile, with significantly fewer GI complaints than ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulphate. Ferrous bisglycinate also had the lowest frequency of black stools (8%) compared to fumarate (22%) and sulphate (31%).

- Iron Bisglycinate Absorption and Regulation
A double-isotope study in women showed that iron absorption from iron bisglycinate chelate in water was 34.6%, comparable to ferrous ascorbate at 29.9%. Standardised absorption was 46.3%, and absorption was significantly correlated with serum ferritin levels, confirming that the body regulates uptake based on iron stores—reducing the risk of iron overload.

- Higher Bioavailability of L-Methyl Folate
A pharmacokinetic study in cardiovascular patients comparing 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-methyl folate) to folic acid found that L-methyl folate has a significantly higher bioavailability, with peak concentrations almost seven times higher than folic acid, irrespective of the patient’s MTHFR genotype.
Source: British Journal of Pharmacology
- Iron Bisglycinate for Athletes
A study in male powerlifters showed that supplementation with iron bisglycinate chelate over 4 months resulted in a notable increase in blood haemoglobin levels and a corresponding increase in best lifting records compared to a control group .

I have had anemia and blood loss and this product is the best boost and replenisher
My daughter had a serious kidney injury, which caused very low iron levels. Hemafit helped her get back to normal again pretty quickly without negative side effects. Great product.
Excellent iron supplement; no side effects. Our daughter had an iron deficiency. Once she started HemaFit, she could finish a day without having to take a recovery nap after lunch!
Like all your products I find it life changing
