FAQs

What is iron bisglycinate?

Elemental iron chelated (bound) to the amino acid glycine. This form is well absorbed and gentler on digestion than many other iron forms.*

How do I take Iron Bisglycinate?

Take 1 capsule daily, or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Why is it gentle on the stomach?

Chelation with glycine improves absorption and reduces common side effects such as nausea and constipation.*

Who may need extra iron?

Menstruating women, vegetarians and vegans, frequent blood donors and some athletes often have higher iron needs or lower intake.

What are signs of low iron?

Low iron can show up as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, pale skin, cold hands and feet, dizziness or reduced athletic performance. Ask your practitioner about testing.

How long does it take to raise iron levels?

Iron stores rebuild gradually over weeks to months of consistent use; your practitioner can track progress with lab work.

Is it safe to keep around children?

Keep out of reach of children. Accidental iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six; in case of overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
