Why you need it

Iron is an essential trace mineral present in virtually every cell of the human body, with a particularly critical role in oxygen transport and energy metabolism. Its most important functions include:

• Haemoglobin synthesis: Iron is the central component of haemoglobin — the protein in red blood cells responsible for binding oxygen in the lungs and transporting it to every tissue in the body. Without adequate iron, haemoglobin production falls, reducing the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity
• Red blood cell production: Iron is essential for normal erythropoiesis (red blood cell formation) in the bone marrow
• Energy utilisation: Iron is a component of myoglobin (oxygen storage in muscle) and cytochromes (mitochondrial electron transport chain), making it essential for cellular energy production
• Neurotransmitter synthesis: Iron is a required cofactor for the enzymes that synthesise key brain neurotransmitters — including dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin — supporting mood, motivation, and cognitive function
• Immune function: Iron supports the normal function of immune cells

Iron requirements are highest during periods of rapid growth, pregnancy, and menstruation — making iron supplementation particularly important for women of reproductive age, pregnant women, and adolescents.

Why iron bisglycinate? Standard iron supplements (ferrous sulphate, ferrous fumarate) are notorious for causing gastrointestinal side effects — nausea, stomach cramps, and constipation — because unabsorbed ionic iron irritates the gut lining. Solgar Gentle Iron uses Albion® iron bisglycinate chelate (US Patent Nos. 6,706,904 and 6,716,814) — in which iron is chelated (bound) to two glycine amino acid molecules. This chelated form is absorbed via a different pathway (amino acid transport) that bypasses the irritating ionic iron absorption route, resulting in significantly better tolerability and enhanced bioavailability with minimal gastrointestinal side effects.
