Thorne Iron Bisglycinate 60 Capsules

Iron is essential to the formation and function of healthy red blood cells. An adequate amount of dietary iron is required for blood cells to efficiently transport oxygen throughout the body. Iron is difficult for the body to absorb, and supplementing with conventional forms of iron, including ferrous sulfate, can cause gastrointestinal side effects – such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and dark-colored stools. Iron Bisglycinate contains iron reacted with glycine to optimize its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thus minimizing the typical side effects of iron supplementation. Iron is provided in a chelated form for optimal absorption. Reduced GI side effects, such as nausea and constipation. Provides 25 mg of elemental iron per serving as Ferrochel chelate.
