Solgar Food Fermented Koji Iron is different delivering scientifically researched Ultimine, a unique, patent pending form of bioavailable slower-release iron.

Fermentation may improve the nutritional profile of a food and increase absorption and bioavailability of vitamins and minerals. But this may depend on the fermentation method and the type of food fermented.

Koji fermented iron is made by a natural process where iron is introduced into the Koji material and the iron is actually absorbed and stored by the Koji culture. Through this food-based fermentation, Solgar Earth Source Koji Iron provides a highly absorbable form of iron that is gentle on the stomach and a vegan-friendly formulation.

Iron is present mostly in animal protein like lean meats and seafood, but also in nuts, tofu and white beans in smaller amounts. Iron helps make haemoglobin, the crimson pigment in red blood cells, that helps carry oxygen around the body. It also helps energise the body and athletes may need more iron to support oxygen transport to muscles so they can keep exercising.(6,7) Solgar Earth Source Koji Iron vegetable capsules are suitable for those following a plant-based lifestyle and provide the convenience of 27 mg of koji fermented iron, in a single serving.

It is our aim to offer a fast and reliable delivery service, using the method specified in the checkout procedure. The cost of your delivery is automatically calculated depending on the total value of your order. Any order £30 and above is free of charge.

We will endeavour to despatch all orders within 24 hours. If some or all items are unavailable, then we will contact you before shipping.

It is always best to allow up to seven working days for delivery but unfortunately this can sometimes take longer and we cannot guarantee delivery dates for overseas delivery dates as they are sometimes subject to customs clearance in the destination country due to the quality of postal services from country to country.

Other Important Information

Where it is not possible for Royal Mail to deliver your order, it will be held at your local Royal Mail office for 5 days before being returned to us. To contact your local sorting office to arrange re-delivery or collection, please call 08457 740 740 in the UK.

We would advise that you check your local sorting office before contacting us if delivery has taken more than seven working days in the UK and Overseas, although overseas customers may have to wait up to two weeks.

If your order has been 'lost in the post’, it will only be investigated 17 working days after it was shipped because it is only after this period that the Royal Mail regards postage as officially lost.

European customers should note that in some rare occasions parcels do appear to take longer than usual to arrive and in such occasions it may be necessary to wait longer before further action is taken. This is largely because of the varied quality of postal services throughout Eurozone countries.

After the post office has completed its investigations, it will subsequently refund Elixir for the value of the parcel and postage and package. Upon receiving our costs from the post office your replacement parcel will then be re-sent, or your costs reimbursed if the product is no longer required. Customers are therefore advised to request signed for deliveries to ensure full tracking opportunities.

Depending upon the weight of your consignment we will inform you of the price separately.

For deliveries within England, Scotland and the Channel Islands our charges are as follows:

Overseas Deliveries

We are delighted to be able to offer international once again however there are still certain items that we can no longer send to certain countries.  If this is the case for your order we ill notify you and a full refund will be given.

Every order we send is despatched either first class Royal Mail, or if the parcel exceeds 1kg, at our discretion, send the goods by parcel post, which can take a few days longer to reach you. On any recorded delivery, a signature may be required on delivery. In the case of recorded deliveries which fail to be delivered an acknowledgement card will be left stating the time and place for you to collect. International orders will take a little longer.

Please Note: If orders weigh more than two kilos we will often send packages in two separate boxes in the interests of security and safety.

As an online retailer, we are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our delivery schedule is governed by the Post Office who are open six days a week from 9.00am - 5.00pm. Please also consider Public Holiday closing.
