Iron Chelate – Chelated Iron for Optimal Absorption

Iron Chelate is a form of chelated iron designed to promote enhanced absorption while being gentle on the stomach and non-constipating. Research shows that ferrous bisglycinate, the primary form of iron used in Iron Chelate, is more efficiently absorbed and better tolerated compared to other common iron supplements. Ferrochel® chelated iron ensures the efficient uptake of this vital mineral, making it a suitable choice for adults, teens, and pregnant or breastfeeding women who need additional iron supplementation.

Each capsule of Iron Chelate provides 30 mg of elemental iron, formulated with non-GMO and Kosher ingredients.

Key Benefits:

• Non-constipating and bioavailable bisglycinate chelate.

• Well-tolerated and easily absorbed sources of iron.

• Safe for use in adults, teenagers, and pregnant or breastfeeding women with a demonstrated need for iron.

What is Iron Chelate?

Iron is a crucial mineral required for oxygen transport, immune function, energy production, and neurological development. When iron is bound to the amino acid glycine, it forms ferrous bisglycinate and ferric trisglycinate, which are more bioavailable and better tolerated than other forms of supplemental iron, such as ferrous sulfate and ferrous gluconate.

Product Features:

• Hypoallergenic, clean formulations.

• Easily absorbed, well-tolerated forms of iron (ferrous bisglycinate and ferric trisglycinate).

• Available in easy-to-swallow capsules or cherry-flavored chewable tablets.

How Iron Chelate Works:

• It resists breakdown by gastric acid, promoting the rapid absorption of iron in the small intestine.

• It supports gastrointestinal comfort by minimizing the release of free ionic iron in the stomach, reducing the potential for stomach upset.

Clinical Research:

Recent studies have shown that iron bisglycinate is superior in terms of bioavailability and tolerance, particularly for individuals with increased iron needs, such as premenopausal women, pregnant women, and those with digestive absorption issues.

A clinical trial involving 124 premenopausal women with low iron levels demonstrated that just 21 mg of ferrous bisglycinate per day for 12 weeks was as effective as higher doses of ferrous sulfate (65 mg of elemental iron per day) in improving iron levels. Participants taking ferrous bisglycinate experienced fewer gastrointestinal side effects.

Similarly, a study with 80 pregnant women showed that a daily dose of 25 mg of ferrous bisglycinate resulted in comparable iron levels to 50 mg of ferrous sulfate, with fewer reports of gastrointestinal discomfort in those taking the bisglycinate.

Additionally, a 2016 study with children suffering from digestive disorders found that oral ferrous bisglycinate chelate doubled their baseline iron levels within three hours, in all but one participant.

Ferrous bisglycinate and ferric trisglycinate are safe, highly effective supplements for maintaining healthy iron levels. Compared to other common iron supplements, Iron Chelate offers superior bioavailability and tolerability, making it an excellent choice for those needing iron supplementation.
