Overview
We keep SuperSelf Gentle Iron Tablets 17mg with Vitamin C on our iron shelf alongside 47 others, and rank it on rating, review volume and live price rather than on the brand. The manufacturer puts it this way: Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and oxygen transport in the body. Carefully formulated, these SuperSelf iron tablets use ferrous bisglycinate, which is a highly bioavailable form of iron and also gentle on the stomach. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. On Amazon it sits at 4.5 out of 5 across 764 ratings. How that compares with the rest of the shelf is below.

How it compares on the iron shelf
The typical iron product on our shelf scores 4.5 out of 5, measured across 48 rated products. This one comes in at 4.5. That's mid-table. Star ratings won't separate this from its neighbours, so the decision comes down to pack size, price per unit and whether the specifics below suit you.
Behind that score sit 764 ratings, against a shelf median of 373. Enough reviews to trust the direction, not enough to close the question.
The shelf runs from £3.64 to £30.00 and the midpoint is about £9.94. On price, this one is in the bottom third. Cheap with a middling rating is a fair trade if the specifics suit you, and it is the usual reason to pick something at this end of the shelf.
Worked out from the 48 iron products we track, not from the brand's own claims.

Key features, as the manufacturer lists them
Taken from the product listing via Amazon's product API. These are the seller's claims, not our test results.
- REDUCE TIREDNESS AND FATIGUE – Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and oxygen transport in the body. Both iron and vitamin C contribute to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue, as well as contributing to the normal function of the immune system.
