Iron Complex (Iron Bisglycinate)

Highly Bioavailable Form: Our iron complex is a neutral, fully-reacted molecule, it does not break down in stomach acid and is delivered intact to the intestine, where it is easily absorbed. Inorganic iron supplements, such as ferrous sulphate, have low bioavailability and often produce unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea, constipation, and gastric upset. No Gastric Upset: This form of iron complex is very gentle on the stomach and does not lead to any kind of constipation Diarrhea or stomach upset. Well-tolerated and easily absorbed forms of ferrous bisglycinate Clean, hypoallergenic formulations. Iron is an Essential Mineral: Iron is an essential nutrient in human health. It plays an important role in tissue oxygenation, immune function, connective tissue integrity, cardiovascular health, and cognitive development. Iron is a constituent of hemoglobin, myoglobin, ferritin, and a number of endogenous enzymes. While iron can be found in fresh green leafy vegetables, corn, and beans (soybeans, kidney beans), its bioavailability from plant sources is poor. Iron from meat is much more bioavailable, but many people have such substandard digestive health that they avoid meat due to poor tolerance. For these, as well as other metabolic reasons, the World Health Organization estimates that 1.3 billion people are suffering from iron deficiency anemia worldwide. It is more common in females, particularly those with heavy menses, and accounts for a significant amount of chronic fatigue and lethargy.
