What is Iron Bisglycinate and why is it gentler?

Iron is one of the most essential minerals in the human body — a critical component of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to every tissue and organ in the body. Iron is also essential for energy production, immune function, and cognitive performance. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide, particularly affecting women of reproductive age, pregnant women, vegetarians and vegans, athletes, and those with certain medical conditions. The problem with many iron supplements is that the most common and cheapest forms — ferrous sulphate and ferrous fumarate — are notorious for causing digestive side effects including nausea, stomach cramps, constipation, and dark stools. This is because inorganic iron salts are poorly absorbed and the unabsorbed iron irritates the gastrointestinal lining. Iron bisglycinate chelate — iron bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine — is absorbed via a different pathway to inorganic iron salts, resulting in significantly higher absorption rates and dramatically less gastrointestinal irritation. Solgar uses a patented Albion® iron bisglycinate chelate (US Patent Nos. 6,706,904 and 6,716,814) — the gold standard in chelated mineral technology — delivering effective iron supplementation that is genuinely gentle on the digestive system.

Who is this for?

• Those with iron deficiency or iron deficiency anaemia
• Women of reproductive age — particularly those with heavy periods
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women (consult healthcare practitioner)
• Vegetarians and vegans — plant-based iron (non-haem) is less bioavailable than animal-based iron
• Athletes — particularly endurance athletes who lose iron through sweat and foot-strike haemolysis
• Those who have experienced constipation, nausea, or stomach upset with other iron supplements
• Anyone wanting a highly bioavailable, gentle iron supplement
