BioFeĀ® Highlights
What makes BioFeĀ® better than other irons?
BioFe Iron is formulated with micronized and microencapsulated elemental iron.
Unlike other iron supplements, BioFe Iron won’t irritate the digestive tract or cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and cramping.*
What is Micronized?
Micronizing is a process that grinds the iron into a fine powder to make it completely dispersible in liquids and absorbable in the intestinal tract.
What is Microencapsulation?
Microencapsulation allows BioFe iron to be taken at the same time as foods and nutrients containing iron-inhibiting ingredients like calcium. BioFe is microencapsulated with a protective coating. The coating ensures you will not have the common side effects of iron supplements, like constipation, black stools, tummy upset, and grey teeth.*
Iron is not the best-tasting ingredient, and microencapsulation ensures BioFe tastes excellent. BioFe Iron is available in unflavored liquid drops, delicious liquid, and a tiny chewable tablet.
BioFe iron supplements are formulated without harmful ingredients and do not contain sugar, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, soy, gluten, benzoates and GMOs.

Iron & Health
Iron is an essential mineral needed for mental, physical and emotional development in children. In both adults and children, iron is an essential component of hemoglobin which transfers oxygen from the lungs to the bodyās tissues. Iron also provides us with much-needed energy. Iron is utilized by the brain to make several neurotransmitters including serotonin, our happy hormone, and melatonin, our sleep hormone. Iron is necessary for a healthy immune system.
For growing infants and children iron is very important. Low iron can lead to behavioral problems including tantrums, ADHD-like behavior and sleep problems. As well as physical development issues like failure to thrive, short stature, and poor grades at school. Iron also helps build a strong immune system helping to fight illness and infection.
Signs and Symptoms of Low Iron:
- Dark under-eye circles
- Moodiness, irritability or tantrums
- Pale skin, lips, and eyelids
- Increased infections, colds, and flus
- Sleep disturbances like having a hard time falling asleep
- Becoming tired quickly or needing more naps
- Craving and eating ice, dirt, clay or other non-food items (pica)
- Poor appetite
- ADHD-like behaviors and/or tantrums

- Poor grades, low test scores

This iron was recommended by our babies dietician since the liquid iron we were previously using tasted horrible and he would spit it out. Not an issue with these drops we just put it in a bottle of milk & there is no taste. The only problem I have is that our bottle only lasted 28 days and your website states that 30ml should last 50 days so that is quite misleading. We are using 30 drops per day.
KidStar Nutrients –
Thank you for pointing that out. We have removed that statement from the site as it does not apply to the 30 drop dose.
Taha –
We got this based on recommendations from our pediatrician. Just wondering whatās the ml equivalent to the 20 drops?
KidStar Nutrients –
Hello, The equivalent of 20 drops is 0.6ml
Helena –
i really enjoy the produt but I didn’t see that it was necessary refrigerate after opening. can I give it for my child or it
may have spoiled ? I must have opened it 3 weeks ago a month ago.
KidStar Nutrients –
Hello, Glad you like the drops! We are actually in the process of removing ‘refrigerate after opening’ from the label. Stability testing has shown it is not necessary. The drops will still be safe to give to your child. Please note that the product needs to be used within 2 months after opening. Thank you!

Can’t get enough of KidStar Products. I’ve been on the search for kids iron since my first child was born (3 years) …. finally a product simple and pure and better yet it’s local! I would’ve bought this even if it was from a different country but i sure appreciate it being in Vancouver. Also tried the omega jelly balls and didn’t think my picky eater would even try them but he asks for his everyday.. wow! I recommend KidStar to everyone who brings up kids vitamins š ps. I’ll look out for a powder meal supplement for kids in the future?! Would love to see that come out! š

These taste great off a spoon, and are awesome for throwing into smoothies! The size of the bottle also makes it very easy to take this product with me so I never forget to take my iron.
