WHAT IT TASTES LIKE?
Utilising Dr Glitter’s ActivCrystal™ technology, active ingredients are encapsulated in a prebiotic tree sap that is tasteless when sprinkled on meals. Nutrient crystals are flavoured by your food, and that could be spicy, salty, sweet, sour or umami, it depends on what you sprinkle it on.
HOW IT FEELS?
When sprinkled on meals, the moisture in food and drinks turn nutrient crystals into a gel allowing them to have no impact on the texture of what you’re eating. If needed, stir nutrient crystals in to your meal so that they incorporate fully.
HOW TO USE + FAQs
- Plate your meal or wait for it to be served, then sprinkle nutrient crystals beautifully on top.
- Take a photo if you wish, and share with your friends and family.

OUR DOSAGE
We have chosen a dose of 4 mg of elemental iron in every sachet of Red IRON+ Crystals.
Whilst other iron products may contain more elemental iron, more is not necessarily better.
This is because excess iron can be toxic and cause premature ageing. Many foods that people already consume daily also contain iron, so a boost of 4mg may be all their body needs. Individuals who need more iron can increase their intake based on their diet, lifestyle, and body’s needs.
The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) is the daily intake level projected to fulfil the nutritional needs of 50% of healthy individuals in Australia.
The EAR of:
Women is 5-8 mg per day
Children is 4-8 mg per day
Men is 6 mg per day

However, certain conditions such as heavy menstrual periods, repeated foot strikes during long distance running, and gut health issues may result in an individual to need greater amounts of iron or not be able to absorb iron effectively.
If you are anaemic or low in iron, you should seek the advice of a medical professional to assess your individual needs.
Excess iron can also cause:
- Premature Ageing
- Male Infertility
- Fatigue & Weakness
- Diabetes
- Liver Damage
- Heart Disease
- Reduced Libido in Men
- Early Onset of Menopause
- Endocrine Disorders
- Mood Swings, Depression and Cognitive Issues
- Risk of Infection
BENEFITS OF IRON
Iron is an essential nutrient for a healthy, functioning body. However, iron is also unfortunately the most common mineral to be deficient in.
Benefits of healthy iron levels include:
- Oxygen Transport
- Energy Levels
- Cognitive Function
- Muscle Function
- Hormone Regulation
- Healthy Pregnancy
- Healthy Hair, Skin & Nails
- Prevention of Anaemia
- Physical Performance
Red IRON+ Crystals are a healthy and convenient way to boost the iron content of your meals. If your diet needs more iron, Dr Glitter has designed a solution for you to incorporate into your meal time routine on an ongoing basis, and without gastric discomfort. Giving your body its daily iron needs will help you avoid emergency interventions such as iron infusions and high dose iron tablets.
BENEFITS OF PREBIOTICS
Prebiotics are non-digestible fibres that feed and support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut (probiotics). Without prebiotics, probiotics may struggle to survive and thrive.
As a result, prebiotics have the following benefits:
- Digestive Health
- Support Immune Function
- Better Nutrient Absorption
- Blood Sugar Regulation
- Weight Management
- Improved Mental Health
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects
- Improved Lipid Profile
Many commonly consumed whole foods such as garlic and onion are great sources of prebiotic fibre. However, many of these food sources are high in FODMAPs so they're not suitable for people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). FODMAPs are short-chain carbohydrates that the small intestine absorb poorly. As a result, many people who suffer from gut issues end up in a vicious cycle in which they need to consume more prebiotic fibre to improve their gut health, but many common sources are high in FODMAP and cause them to experience stomach pain, cramps, diarrhoea and/or constipation, bloating, excessive wind and urgent bowel movements.
Fortunately, Dr Glitter's source of prebiotic fibre is acacia gum. This is the sap of acacia trees, and is also one of the few sources of prebiotic fibre that is low in FODMAPs and IBS friendly.
From the Founders
OUR EXPERIENCE
“We created Dr Glitter because we didn’t want to take pills and powders if we weren’t sick. We wanted to get our nutrients from whole foods and be able to boost our meals with essential nutrients we were low in.”
- Augusta Xu-Holland -
“After just a few weeks of sprinkling Dr Glitter on my meals and eating a well-balanced diet, I was no longer losing hair, suffering from a dry and itchy scalp, or experiencing low energy levels.”

Amazing that such a product exists
- AAbigailVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoGreat for kids too
My daughter is a fussy eater and she loves Dr Glitter as it is fun for her to sprinkle on her foods and is tasteless. It is a great product as she is now able to boost her iron intake (willingly) with any of her meals!
- DDanielVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoSo far I’m impressed!
I’ve started adding Dr Glitter to my breakfasts to increase my iron intake but also kick start my day with a boost of prebiotics. I usually end up with an upset stomach when using different supplements but so far I’m impressed! Favourite breaky at the moment has been a protein shake poured over cereal and fruit, topped with Dr Glitter but you can add this stuff to anything!
- ECElla C.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 month agoConvenient and Fun!
Iron supplements can be such a drag, but this edible glitter is actually enjoyable. I just sprinkle a sachet into my morning smoothie, and I’m good to go. Plus, the packaging is super cute! I just wish they sold in bulk but I asked them and they said it’s coming so fingers crossed!
