Heavy Periods Don't Just Drain You. It's Your Iron.
A heavy period drains 40mg of iron or more, over 480mg a year, far more than the 1 to 2mg a day your body absorbs from food. A standard iron tablet delivers under 6mg per dose and is hardest to tolerate exactly when you're bleeding. Month after month, you're refilling a leaking bathtub one teaspoon at a time. ORI1 strips dissolve under your tongue and deliver 19mg of iron + 400mcg of folate straight into circulation, so ferritin can finally catch up.

Heavy Periods Drain Your Iron. Low Iron May Feed the Cycle.
Heavy bleeding drains iron. That part is obvious and well documented. What's less known is that the relationship may run both ways: some researchers believe that when iron stores fall too low, the body's ability to manage bleeding and clotting can be affected, which may make heavy periods harder to control. It doesn't happen to everyone, and heavy bleeding usually has a structural or hormonal cause that needs its own attention. But the iron deficiency that heavy periods reliably cause is the part you can actually act on, and getting ferritin back into range is where most women start.

Taking Iron on Your Period Shouldn't Make You Feel Worse.
For most women, iron tablets are hardest to tolerate exactly when they need them most: during heavy bleeding days. Nausea adds to nausea. Constipation adds to cramps. The metallic taste adds to everything else you're managing. Sublingual strips skip the gut entirely. Peel, place, dissolve, done, even when you're crashed out on the sofa with a hot water bottle. Your stomach never knows it happened.

The Number Most Doctors Check Too Late
Most GPs check haemoglobin first. By the time haemoglobin drops, your ferritin has usually been low for months or longer. Ferritin is the early-warning number, the iron reserve your body draws on between periods. In women with ongoing heavy bleeding, tablets often can't lift it faster than each cycle pulls it back down, so it can sit low for years. With sublingual delivery, the climb typically starts at week 6 to 8 and shows up on your next routine blood test. Numbers, not promises.
Why Iron Tablets Fall Behind a Heavy Cycle
A heavy period drains 40mg of iron or more. Over a year that's past 480mg, while your body absorbs only 1 to 2mg from a typical day's food, so the gap compounds month after month. A standard 65mg iron tablet delivers under 6mg of absorbable iron to your bloodstream on a good day, and it's hardest to tolerate exactly when you're bleeding, so most women skip it on the days they're losing the most. Most of the dose sits in the gut, irritating it, before being passed. Sublingual strips deliver up to 80% of the dose directly into circulation, the same route used for emergency medications, and they're easy to take even on heavy days. Heavy bleeding itself can have causes that need investigation, such as fibroids, endometriosis, thyroid issues or a bleeding disorder, so get persistent heavy periods checked by a doctor. This addresses the iron deficiency heavy periods cause, not the bleeding itself.
1,422+ Women. Numbers That Finally Moved.
The most common message we get is about getting their energy and their life back once the exhaustion of chronic low iron finally lifts. Many also mention their cycles feeling more manageable as their levels recovered, though every body is different and heavy bleeding can have its own causes. What they share is the same turning point: the first blood test where ferritin had actually climbed.
