If your iron causes constipation, try Maltofer. Maltofer is suitable for use in pregnancy. Maltofer has been used for over 50 years to correct iron levels in pregnant women. Clinical studies have shown that Maltofer correct iron deficiency in pregnant women with significantly fewer gastrointestinal side effects.**

General Information

Maltofer is an oral iron for the treatment/prevention of iron deficiency in adults and adolescents where the use of ferrous iron is not tolerated, or otherwise inappropriate. Maltofer is less likely to cause constipation compared to ferrous sulfate.

Maltofer iron is absorbed by the body in an active and controlled manner. Maltofer‘s active ingredient, iron polymaltose, ensures your body only absorbs the iron that it needs when it is needed, providing reliable correction of iron levels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good iron treatment Easy to use, tastes quite good and no side effects!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for kids Perfect for children who don’t take oral medicine. This is hidden perfectly in juice; tastes like cream rather than that overwhelming taste other iron medication has. Found out about this product, not from our doctor or paed, but from my own research and with the help of chemist warehouse was able to figure out the dosage that matched our current medication.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Moltofer Iiquid Iron I found Moltofer to be pleasent tasting (a bit like vanilla cream) & easy to take. A bit expensive, but fixed my Iron deficiency well.
Date published: 2019-02-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by from MALTOFER The best iron supplement I have ever taken. Easier to swallow than tablets, very pleasant tasting and has no side effects. I always buy this product from Chemist Warehouse as its cheaper than any other chemist and is often on sale.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to drink If you're like me & find it hard to swallow tablets, this is for you. The taste isn't bad, easy to drink & works well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My 9yr old was advsd by her Dr to take this iron. It's great. I dont struggle at all if i forget she will remind me. It's a bit more expensive but a very small price to pay because it has excellent results.
Date published: 2017-12-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from So tasty Ive been iron deficient and reluctant to take iron supplements due to horrid side effects such as constipation but this one doesnt have side effects and actually tastes delicious
Date published: 2017-11-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great so far but the taste and scent is unpleasant I was told to take an iron supplement like Ferrograd or Maltofer to help with my iron deficiency. Dr said the liquid would be better tolerated. Read reviews about the pleasant taste. It's not pleasant to me. It smells sickly sweet - like decay and cherry cough syrup. It also undeniably tastes of iron. Given that it's a deep red liquid, it feels like drinking blood. That being said, holding your breath and chasing it immediately with a drink helps a lot. I don't have any other issues with it so far besides it also being pricey but I've only taken it for a few days. If other issues arise, I'll write another review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This one is good Although it is not a fantastic taste, it is rather ok and I recomend this as a liquid iron supplament. This is the second time i have purchased this brand and the children don't mind it either.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from one of the best iron supplements :)
Date published: 2019-03-15
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very effective I tried this after other iron supplements made me nauseous and it works very well and gave me no bad side effects. I recommend it highly.
Date published: 2019-01-28
Rated 4 out of 5 by from I have to say the hint of vanilla flavour was a nice suprise!
Date published: 2018-11-05
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Tastes good, ineffective for me The taste is wonderful but unfortunately I didn’t feel any improvement of my symptoms from using this product.
Date published: 2020-05-25
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Tastes Yuck I can't understand all the other reviews saying this product tastes great... to me it tastes like blood with vanilla mixed in. My doctor says it's one of the best on the market but I just can't get over that taste!
Date published: 2020-01-17
Rated 3 out of 5 by from quite sweet, feel like easy to digest
Date published: 2018-10-15
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Taste is no good for 5 year old boy Unfortunately my 5 year old son thinks it tastes - and smells - "yuck". Wish they had some alternative flavours. Clearly not everyone likes kinda-off tasting sickly sweet malt flavoured syrup.
Date published: 2024-04-24
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Too sweet. Don't really like the taste. Too sweet .
Date published: 2022-07-26
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Good but expensive Product tastes pretty good but its too expensive considering it's only a 150ml bottle that lasts maybe a week and a half at best. These kind of products are a necessity for a lot of people suffering from iron deficiency. Although still expensive, I'll try the tablets and see how I go, at least that lasts a month.
Date published: 2022-01-17
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Maltofer website information is misleading The Maltofer website states "Maltofer Syrup can be mixed with fruit and vegetable juices. Any discolouration of the mixture does not affect the effectiveness of Maltofer Iron Syrup, nor the taste of the juices". The addition of Maltofer absolutely does affect the taste of the juice and because of this, my child refused to consume it. I was really hoping this would be a good alternative to Ferro Liquid and be more gently on their stomach but the taste and appearance is too obvious.
Date published: 2021-10-14
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Tastes awful! Serious regrets getting the liquid, it’s tastes terrible. Doesn’t upset my tummy though-same as the tablets
Date published: 2021-09-08
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Gross aftertaste Tried this iron supplement as it had so many good reviews. I’m not sure why as I found the product didn’t have a great taste and had a bitter aftertaste. It also doesn’t last long when you’re treating an iron deficiency (bottle lasted me a week)
Date published: 2021-04-25
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not for me had a reaction only to this brand I am low on iron as all the other iron tablets don’t absorb properly and they all cause diarrhoea doctor told me to but this as it’s slow releasing but with 30 min of taking it my heart is beating fast and I’m dizzy I’ve never had a reaction to any other ones only this brand it’s still causes diarrhoea as well
