Targeted iron support in a chelated form. Iron Bisglycinate helps to form red blood cells and helps in their proper function, offering a straightforward formula in a convenient vegan capsule.

A Closer Look at Chelated Iron

What Bisglycinate Means

Iron bisglycinate combines ferrous iron with two glycine molecules. This mineral and amino acid pairing is what distinguishes the bisglycinate form from other forms of supplemental iron.

Understanding the Elemental Iron Amount

The 27mg amount refers to the elemental iron provided by each capsule, not the total weight of the bisglycinate compound. This makes the amount of iron in the formula clear when comparing supplements.

Focused Support, Simple Format

Red Blood Cell Formation and Function

The formula focuses on ironโ€™s role in helping to form red blood cells and supporting their proper function. Choose an iron supplement according to your individual needs and the advice of a health care practitioner.

Vegan Capsule Convenience

Each bottle contains 60 vegan capsules with a hypromellose capsule shell. Ingredient details and daily directions are presented separately, keeping the information easy to find without unnecessary repetition.

Clinical Research

Ferrous bisglycinate 25 mg iron is as effective as ferrous sulfate 50 mg iron in the prophylaxis of iron deficiency and anemia during pregnancy in a randomized trial

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2014

In a randomized, double-blind trial involving 80 healthy pregnant women, 25 mg of elemental iron daily as ferrous bisglycinate was compared with 50 mg as ferrous sulfate from early-to-mid pregnancy until delivery. Rates of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia were low and did not differ significantly between groups. The bisglycinate group reported fewer gastrointestinal complaints. This study is relevant to a nearby dose, but its findings apply specifically to pregnancy.

The effects of oral ferrous bisglycinate supplementation on hemoglobin and ferritin concentrations in adults and children: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Nutrition Reviews, 2023

This review identified 17 randomized controlled trials comparing ferrous bisglycinate with other iron supplements. Pooled results in pregnant women showed higher hemoglobin concentrations and fewer gastrointestinal adverse events with bisglycinate. Differences in ferritin were not statistically significant, and pooled studies in children found no significant differences in hemoglobin or ferritin. Evidence in other adult populations was limited.

Iron Bisglycinate Chelate and Polymaltose Iron for the Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Pilot Randomized Trial

Current Pediatric Reviews, 2018

This double blind pilot trial compared iron bisglycinate chelate with polymaltose iron in children aged 1โ€“13 years with iron-deficiency anemia. Both groups received 3 mg of elemental iron per kilogram of body weight daily for 45 days and experienced increased hemoglobin. Significant increases in ferritin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin were observed only within the bisglycinate group. These are preliminary findings in children, not evidence for a fixed 27 mg adult dose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Iron Bisglycinate 27mg?

Iron bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron in which iron is bound to the amino acid glycine. It is commonly used to support iron intake, red blood cell formation, and normal oxygen transport.

What is Iron Bisglycinate used for?

Iron helps support red blood cell production, hemoglobin formation, oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and normal cognitive function.

What does 27mg of iron mean?

This formula provides 27 mg of elemental iron per specified serving. Elemental iron refers to the actual amount of iron available from the iron bisglycinate compound.

What does chelated iron mean?

Chelated iron is iron bound to an organic molecule, such as an amino acid. Iron bisglycinate is a chelated form commonly selected for its absorption and digestive tolerability.

Is Iron Bisglycinate easier on the stomach?

Iron bisglycinate is often considered gentler on the digestive system than some traditional iron salts, although individual tolerance can vary.

How does iron support red blood cell formation?

Iron is required to make hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.

Can iron help with tiredness and fatigue?

Iron is essential for normal oxygen transport and energy metabolism. If fatigue is related to iron deficiency, correcting inadequate iron intake may help, but unexplained fatigue should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

What should I avoid taking at the same time as iron?

Calcium supplements, dairy products, coffee, and tea may reduce iron absorption when taken at the same time. It is often helpful to separate them from iron by a few hours.

A must have

I swear by taking the iron supplement, it helps keep my iron levels up so I can donate blood regularly. Plus I was having problems with cold hands and feet and it turned out I just needed to take an iron supplement. This is perfect because it is 1 easy to swallow capsules a day and it doesn't upset my stomach!!
