Frequently Asked Questions
What is Incremin and what makes it different from regular iron supplements?
Incremin combines iron with lysine (an essential amino acid) and thiamine (vitamin B1). Lysine helps stimulate appetite in children who are poor eaters — a key reason why iron-deficient children often won't eat enough iron-rich foods. Thiamine supports energy metabolism. Together these work synergistically to support iron levels and appetite.
How do I know if my child needs an iron supplement?
Signs of iron deficiency in children include fatigue, pallor (pale skin), poor appetite, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and frequent infections. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in children. If you suspect iron deficiency, consult your GP for a blood test before starting supplementation.
What age is Centrum Kids Incremin suitable for?
Check the current product label for age-specific dosing. Incremin is typically suitable from around 1 year onwards. Always follow the label dosing instructions for your child's specific age and weight.
Can too much iron be harmful to children?
Yes. Iron overdose is a medical emergency in children — always store iron supplements out of reach and in a child-proof container. Do not exceed the stated dose. If your child ingests more than the stated dose, contact the Poisons Centre (0800 POISON) or go to your nearest emergency department immediately.
Should I give Incremin Iron with food?
Iron absorbs best on an empty stomach, but can cause stomach discomfort in sensitive children. Taking with a small amount of food or diluted juice (particularly vitamin C-rich juice, which enhances iron absorption) can improve tolerability without significantly reducing absorption.
