5 reasons pregnant women should consider raspberry iron strips (without another pill to swallow)
Read this before switching iron. A new format still needs your provider’s go-ahead, especially during pregnancy. The appeal here starts with one less pill to swallow.

TLDR: Raspberry iron without a pill or water, with 19 mg per strip for your provider to check against your plan.
1.One less pill to talk yourself into
At 28 weeks, the call about low iron can mean adding another pill when nausea and constipation already fill the day. Getting through the appointment was one thing. Facing that pill again tomorrow is another.
TummyHush Iron Strips give you a different way to take it: open a sachet, place one raspberry strip on your tongue, and let it dissolve before swallowing. No glass of water to find.
For the woman pausing before every swallow, removing the pill is a practical change. The question becomes whether this daily step fits your life.
2.You can retire the willpower test
If standard iron hurt your stomach and the next bottle labeled gentle did too, your hesitation makes sense. You have already tried being the person who takes it anyway.
Start with the step you dread. If it is swallowing a pill, a dissolving strip changes that step. It does not establish better absorption or fewer side effects; neither claim is supported by evidence for this tin.
You can want a routine you can keep without blaming yourself for the days you struggled. Bring the dose and ingredients to your provider and ask whether this format belongs in your plan.
Small strip. Amounts you can read.
Two nutrients, plus the film and sweeteners that make this format possible.
| WHAT IS IN IT | WHAT IT IS FOR |
|---|---|
| Iron · 19 mgFERRIC SACCHARATE | Supports normal red blood cell formation and oxygen transport.* |
| Folate · 400 mcg DFE240 MCG FOLIC ACID | Supports healthy cell formation, with 100% Daily Value per strip.* |
| Pullulan filmPLANT DERIVED | Forms the dissolving strip, without gelatin. |
| Monk fruit + steviaSUGAR FREE | Provide sweetness in a sugar-free raspberry strip. |
One strip. Two nutrients. No water needed.
3.Read the dose before you decide
If you were told your labs were normal but still feel exhausted, you deserve a follow-up conversation. A supplement label cannot explain that disconnect.
Each strip contains 19 mg iron, or 106% of the label Daily Value. That percentage uses an 18 mg reference; the recommended daily amount during pregnancy is 27 mg from all sources.
Daily amounts and treatment doses answer different questions. Your clinician may prescribe more for a diagnosed deficiency. Show them the 19 mg, alongside your prenatal, before changing anything; never exceed one strip a day.
4.A little tin for a full day
Folate comes in the same strip: 400 mcg DFE, supporting healthy cell formation.* The plant-derived pullulan film gives those nutrients a form that dissolves on your tongue.
Each of the 30 strips is individually sealed inside a small metal tin. It can travel in your bag; keep it out of children’s reach, including at home.
For the new mother still exhausted after the newborn weeks, you deserve help finding the cause. If your provider recommends ongoing iron, plan the next tin before this one runs out.

Questions, answered plainly
Is 19 mg enough for me?
Each strip provides 19 mg iron. Your needs depend on your situation; your provider should choose your dose, especially for a diagnosed deficiency. Maximum one strip a day. People with hereditary hemochromatosis should avoid iron supplements, the NIH says.
Can I take it while pregnant or nursing?
Consult your physician before use, as the label directs. Show them your prenatal and other supplements alongside this strip’s 19 mg iron and 400 mcg DFE folate. It contains monk fruit and stevia. This is not a complete prenatal or a claim of pregnancy or breastfeeding safety.
What does it taste like?
Raspberry flavor, sweetened with monk fruit extract and steviol glycosides (stevia). It is sugar free. Let the strip dissolve on your tongue before swallowing. Taste is personal; there are no customer taste reports for this tin yet.
Can it replace my prescription iron or an infusion?
Do not replace prescribed treatment on your own. This is a dietary supplement. Your clinician decides whether its 19 mg dose fits your plan; a diagnosis may require a higher dose or an infusion. Do not take extra strips to match a prescription.
What if it does not work for me?
Take one a day for 30 days from delivery. If it did not earn its place, email support@tummyhush.com for a full refund and keep the tin. If it makes you feel unwell, stop and contact your provider; do not keep taking it just to complete the trial.
When will it arrive?
