Practitioner-Only Product

This is a practitioner-only product. It is supplied through practitioner and dispensary channels and is intended to be taken on the direction of a qualified healthcare practitioner who knows your history.

Your practitioner will advise whether it suits you, at what dose and for how long.

Blackmores Professional Celloids I.P.82 is a single mineral tablet carrying iron phosphate 15 mg, equivalent to 5 mg of elemental iron, in a small steel blue uncoated tablet embossed with a B and a breakbar. Celloids are supplied as low dose mineral salts rather than as high dose supplements, which is why the figures per tablet are small. At the labelled adult dose of one tablet three times daily with meals the daily intake is 15 mg of elemental iron. The bottle holds 84 tablets. It is taken as a mineral supplement, on the direction of a healthcare practitioner.
