Formulated for those who need effective iron supplementation without the digestive discomfort commonly associated with standard iron supplements. Vegetarian, halal, kosher (K-Parve), gluten-free, dairy-free. 90 vegetable capsules — 90-day supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Iron Bisglycinate and why is it gentler?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose with iron deficiency or iron deficiency anaemia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWomen of reproductive age — particularly those with heavy periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePregnant and breastfeeding women (consult healthcare practitioner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarians and vegans — plant-based iron (non-haem) is less bioavailable than animal-based iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAthletes — particularly endurance athletes who lose iron through sweat and foot-strike haemolysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose who have experienced constipation, nausea, or stomach upset with other iron supplements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone wanting a highly bioavailable, gentle iron supplement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron (as iron bisglycinate chelate, Albion®) 25 mg per capsule — 139% DV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented Albion® chelated form — gold standard in iron bioavailability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-constipating — significantly less likely to cause constipation than ferrous sulphate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle on the stomach — absorbed via amino acid pathway, minimising GI irritation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy haemoglobin production and red blood cell formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports oxygen transport throughout the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports energy production and reduces fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports immune function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports cognitive performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarian, halal, kosher (K-Parve)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree from gluten, wheat, dairy, soy, yeast, sugar, sodium, artificial flavours, sweeteners, preservatives, and colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90 vegetable capsules — 90-day supply at 1 capsule daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Solgar — premium supplements since 1947\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e⚠️ Critical warning — keep away from children\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six years of age.
