When added to the slightly acidified boiling liquid, the Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf will release microscopic iron particles off its surface and into the liquid!

This is also why it is recommended to use the product in liquid-based meals such as soups, in dishes like oatmeal or rice where all the liquid is  fully absorbed.

Most adults need 8-18mg of iron per day, depending on their lifestyle and life stage. When used as directed, the Lucky Iron Fish and Leaf provide 6-8mg of bioavailable iron per use, which is a majority of daily iron intake for most individuals.

The Lucky Iron Fish or Leaf would have to be intentionally misused (e.g. boiling for hours at a time) to release too much iron. This would also change the taste and smell of the liquid making it very undesirable to use.

When used as directed, these cooking tools can be a great source of easily absorbable iron.

When concerned about any supplementation regime, we always recommend that you talk to your healthcare professional.

Yes. The Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf releases gentle amounts of easily absorbable iron and is therefore safe to use for most individuals including pregnant and nursing mothers.

*We have not tested use of the Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf on infants under 12 months of age. According to Canadian Paediatric Society guidelines, most infants do not require additional iron in the first year of their life. However, if your baby’s physician decides that the baby needs more iron then we suggest that you follow their advice about the best way to treat your infant.

*We do not recommend using it if you have a hemoglobin variant such as Hemochromatosis, which is a genetic disorder that makes it difficult for the body to deal with iron.

If you are not certain or have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider.
