Mivolis Iron + Vitamin C Effervescent Tablets, 20 tablets, 82 g
These are iron and vitamin C effervescent tablets from Mivolis, the German supplement brand sold by the drugstore chain dm. One tablet dissolved in a glass of water gives 7 mg of iron, which is 50% of the European daily reference amount, together with 67 mg of vitamin C, which is 84% of it. The tube holds 20 tablets, 82 g in total, the flavor is currant, and the tablets carry no added sugar. They are a food supplement, not a medicine.
This is a product for adults and older family members rather than for a baby. We carry it because parents buying European baby food here ask for the German drugstore staples at the same time, and an iron tablet taken as a drink is one of the most commonly requested.
What the iron does is stated by the pack and is worth reading as written. Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Those are the three authorized European wordings for iron and they are the three this listing makes. The product is positioned for anyone with an increased iron requirement arising from particular dietary habits or a particular life situation, which is the usual reason an iron supplement gets bought at all.
The vitamin C in the tablet is the second nutrient on the panel at 67 mg, and this page gives no function statement for it, because this product's own text makes none. The amount is published, it is in the table below, and nothing is claimed for it beyond that.
The form is the reason people choose these. A tablet in 200 ml of water becomes a currant-flavored drink, which suits anyone who finds iron tablets hard to swallow. The sweetness is sorbitol with sodium cyclamate and sodium saccharin, the color is beetroot powder with riboflavin, and the iron itself is declared as iron II lactate.
Two things are worth knowing before you buy. The pack allows two tablets spread through the day for someone with an increased iron requirement, which doubles everything in the tables below, salt included. And the tablets carry no published minimum age, so this page does not give one.

Who these tablets are and are not for
This is an adult supplement. The pack gives one tablet a day as the normal amount, and up to two a day spread through the day for someone with an increased iron requirement. It publishes no separate child amount and no age at which it becomes suitable.
It is not a baby or toddler product, and iron is the reason to be firm about that. Iron is the supplement nutrient most often involved in accidental poisoning of small children, which is why the pack carries a keep-out-of-reach instruction. Do not give these tablets to an infant or a young child, keep the tube closed and out of sight, and ask your doctor before giving any iron product to a child.
It is also worth knowing that low iron is a thing to test for rather than assume. Tiredness has many causes, an iron supplement is not a diagnosis, and taking iron you do not need is not harmless. If you suspect a deficiency, a blood test and a doctor's advice come before a tube of tablets.
If you want the vitamin C without the iron
Mivolis makes the same format as a plain vitamin C tablet. Mivolis Vitamin C Effervescent Tablets carry 240 mg of vitamin C per tablet in a blood orange flavor and contain no iron, which is a different product with a different purpose.
Dosage and how to take it
Read this before the first tablet
The recommended daily amount should not be exceeded. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of small children. Store the tube closed and dry, below 25 degrees Celsius.
1 tabletNormal daily amount
Up to 2Increased iron need
20 daysOne tube, one a day
Below 25 CClosed and dry
1
Use a full glass of water
The pack gives 200 ml, which is about 6.8 fluid ounces and roughly a standard glass. Less water does not change the amount of iron, but it does make the drink sharper.
2
Drop in one tablet
One tablet is the normal daily amount. Let it finish fizzing before drinking rather than stirring it apart, so nothing is left in the bottom of the glass.
3
Two only if you need two
The pack allows two tablets through the course of a day for someone with an increased iron requirement. They are taken apart rather than together, and two is the ceiling. The recommended daily amount should not be exceeded.
4
Pick a time and keep to it
Any time of day works and the pack sets none. Iron taken consistently does more than iron taken when remembered, so attach it to a fixed daily point.
5
Close the tube every time
Effervescent tablets take up moisture from the air and go soft. Press the lid back on fully, and keep the tube out of a steamy kitchen or bathroom.
6
Keep it away from children
The pack says to keep it out of the reach of small children, and with an iron product that instruction carries more weight than usual. Store it high, closed and out of sight.
Daily amount, as the pack states it
| Who | Daily amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adults | 1 tablet | Dissolved in 200 ml of water, once a day |
| Increased iron requirement | Up to 2 tablets | Spread through the day, not taken together |
| Children | Not stated | No age and no child amount is published for this product |
One tablet carries roughly 0.8 g of salt, and two carry roughly 1.6 g. That is arithmetic from the published panel and the pack weight. If you take another iron-containing supplement or a multivitamin with iron, check the combined iron amount with your doctor or pharmacist before taking these as well.
What one tablet contains
The pack publishes two nutrient amounts per daily dose and a nutrition table per 100 g. Both are given here as published. The per-tablet column in the second table is arithmetic, because 20 tablets weigh 82 g and one therefore weighs about 4.1 g.
| Nutrient | Per tablet | % of reference amount | Per 2 tablets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron | 7 mg | 50% | 14 mg, 100% |
| Vitamin C | 67 mg | 84% | 134 mg, 168% |
Reference amounts are those of the Food Information Ordinance, as stated on this product. The two-tablet column is arithmetic from the published per-tablet figures and applies only to the increased-requirement amount the pack allows.
| Nutrition table | Per 100 g | Per tablet, about |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 936 kJ / 218 kcal | 38 kJ / 8.9 kcal |
| Fat | less than 0.5 g | less than 0.02 g |
| of which saturates | 0.4 g | 0.02 g |
| Carbohydrate | 17 g | 0.7 g |
| of which sugars | 1.1 g | 0.05 g |
| Protein | less than 0.5 g | less than 0.02 g |
| Salt | 19 g | 0.78 g |
The per-100-g column is the panel as published on this product. The per-tablet column is arithmetic from it at 4.1 g a tablet, rounded, and is labeled as arithmetic rather than presented as a published figure.
What the label says the iron does
Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Those are the authorized European wordings for the three claims this product makes, given here in full rather than paraphrased.
No function statement is given for the vitamin C in these tablets, because this product's own text makes none for it; its amount is published above and nothing further is claimed. No claim is made for the sorbitol, the sweeteners, the beetroot powder or the riboflavin, and none is made about how quickly or how well an effervescent tablet is absorbed, because no such claim is authorized.
Ingredients and what to check
Iron as iron II lactate, sweetened without sugar
The iron is declared as iron II lactate. The sweetness is sorbitol with sodium cyclamate and sodium saccharin, so there is no added sugar. The fizz is citric acid reacting with sodium hydrogen carbonate, which is why the salt figure on the panel is as high as it is.
Three things in the panel are worth reading before you buy. The first is the sweetener set above, which some people avoid by preference. The second is the salt, at about 0.8 g in a tablet and 1.6 g if you take two. The third is that the color and flavor are not nutrients: beetroot powder and riboflavin color the drink and the currant taste comes from flavorings.

No allergen declaration is printed on this listing, and no gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan claim is published for these tablets, so none is made here. This is the declaration as carried on this product, reproduced in the order printed. The label on the tube you receive is the one that governs.
- 7 mg iron per tablet
- 67 mg vitamin C per tablet
- 20 tablets, 82 g tube
- Currant flavor
- No added sugar
- A food supplement, not a medicine
Check the label on the tube you receive before first use, and keep to the amount printed on it if it differs from anything here.
How long one tube of 20 lasts
The arithmetic depends on whether you are taking one tablet a day or the two the pack allows for an increased iron requirement.
| Pattern | Daily amount | Arithmetic | Days | Iron per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One a day, the normal amount | 1 tablet | 20 / 1 | 20 | 7 mg, 50% |
| Two a day, increased requirement | 2 tablets | 20 / 2 | 10 | 14 mg, 100% |
| Two tubes, one a day | 1 tablet | 40 / 1 | 40 | 7 mg, 50% |
At one tablet a day a tube is three weeks less a day, and at two it is ten days. Each tablet takes 200 ml of water, so a tube at one a day works out at 4,000 ml, about 135 fluid ounces, of flavored drink.
Days, iron totals and water volumes are arithmetic from the stated daily amounts, the 20-tablet count and the pack's own 200 ml per tablet, converted to fluid ounces. This product's own text states no keeping time once the tube is opened, so follow the date and storage note printed on your own tube.

Frequently asked questions
How much do I take, and how often?
One tablet a day, dissolved in a glass of water of about 200 ml. If you have an increased iron requirement the pack allows up to two tablets spread through the day. The recommended daily amount should not be exceeded.
Can children take these?
No age and no child amount is published for this product, so this page gives neither. These are adult tablets, and iron needs more care than most supplement nutrients. Ask your doctor before giving any iron product to a child, and keep the tube out of reach.
What does the iron do?
Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Those are the authorized wordings and the three claims this product makes.
What does the vitamin C in it do?
This product's own text makes no function statement for its vitamin C, so none is given here. The amount, 67 mg a tablet, is published and is in the table on this page.
Is this a medicine?
No. It is a food supplement, and the pack carries the standard statement that supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.
Does it contain sugar?
No added sugar. The sweeteners are sorbitol with sodium cyclamate and sodium saccharin, and the published panel gives 1.1 g of sugars per 100 g, which is about 0.05 g in one tablet.
Why is the salt figure so high?
Because the fizz comes from sodium hydrogen carbonate reacting with citric acid. The published panel gives 19 g of salt per 100 g, which is roughly 0.8 g in a single tablet and 1.6 g if you take two.
How long does one tube last?
Twenty days at one tablet a day, or ten days at two.
Are they gluten free, lactose free or vegan?
No such claim is published for these tablets, so none is made here. If you need a certified product, read the label on the tube you receive.

Written from the ingredient declaration, nutrition table, per-tablet composition, dosage wording, additives declaration and storage instructions carried on this product. The 20-tablet count and the 82 g net weight are taken from the product itself. The per-tablet weight, the energy, carbohydrate, sugar and salt per tablet, the two-tablet totals, the supply in days and the fluid ounce figures are arithmetic from those published figures and are labeled as arithmetic on the page. The three iron statements are the authorized European wordings for that nutrient and nothing further is claimed. No function statement is given for the vitamin C in these tablets, because this product's own text makes none for it. Mivolis is dm's own brand and dm's product page for these tablets renders only in a browser, so it could not be read here and no fact on this page rests on it; a photograph of the tube would let the remaining gaps be closed. No minimum age is published for these tablets and none has been assumed, so the page says so and directs a parent to a doctor. No claim of faster or better absorption from the effervescent form is made, because none is authorized. No country-of-manufacture, gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan claim is made, because none is published for this product. Last reviewed 26 October 2026.
