Welcome to Peace Love Hormones, AKA The Modern Woman's Apothecary! Today I am sharing a deeply nourishing, mineral-rich gummy designed to support healthy iron levels, energy, and vitality. It is gentle enough for daily use during pregnancy, postpartum, or whenever your body needs replenishment. However, if you are pregnant, please consult your midwife or practitioner trained in herbal medicine.
Iron-rich foods are always the best and most efficient way to maintain healthy iron levels, particularly heme iron, which is found in animal foods such as grass-fed red meat, liver, poultry, and sardines. Heme iron is more readily absorbed and utilized by the body than plant-based, or non-heme, iron sources.
These Herbal Iron and Mineral Gummies are not meant to replace iron-rich meals but to complement them. They offer a gentle, herbal boost of minerals and plant-based nutrients to support daily vitality.
✨ Why It Works
Nettles + Dandelion Leaf: deeply mineralizing and iron-supportive
Raspberry Leaf: tones and nourishes the uterus
Rooibos or Amla: natural vitamin C to enhance iron absorption
Blackstrap Molasses: dense plant-based iron and trace minerals

Ingredients
Herbal Infusion:
2 tbsp dried nettle leaf (Urtica dioica)
1 tbsp dried dandelion leaf (Taraxacum officinale)
1 tbsp dried alfalfa leaf (Medicago sativa)
1 tbsp dried raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus) (optional, for uterine and mineral support.)
Finishing & Gelling:
1–2 tbsp blackstrap molasses (rich in plant-based iron + minerals)
1 tbsp raw honey, maple syrup or date syrup
1/4 tsp Amla (Indian Gooseberry) powder
A splash of vanilla extract (optional for flavor)
3 tbsp grass-fed gelatin (or 3½ tbsp for firmer gummies)
Directions
Step 1: Make the Herbal Infusion
- Combine nettles, dandelion leaf, raspberry leaf, and rooibos with 3 cups water.
- Heat just until the mixture begins to gently bubble, then immediately remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 20 minutes, reducing to about 1½ cups.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a heat-safe bowl.
Step 2: Sweeten and Enrich
While warm (not boiling), stir in molasses and honey/date syrup until dissolved.
If using amla powder, add it once the liquid cools, along with any optional vanilla.
Step 3: Bloom the Gelatin
In a small bowl, sprinkle 3 tbsp gelatin over ¼ cup cool water; let stand 5 minutes.
Stir bloomed gelatin into warm herbal mixture until smooth and fully dissolved.
Step 4: Pour and Set
- Pour into silicone molds or a glass dish.
- Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
Step 5: Cut and Store
Cut into 1-inch cubes (~1½ tsp each).
Store in a glass jar, refrigerated, up to 10 days.
HOW TO USE:
General wellness: 2 per day
Low iron: 3–4 per day
Take after meals for best iron absorption.
