Iron Bisglcyinate

Product overview Thorne Iron Bisglycinate delivers 25 mg of highly absorbable iron using Ferrochel® technology - the form of iron designed to do its job without the gastrointestinal drama. What it doesn't need is the queasy feelings and slow bowel elimination that conventional iron supplements so often bring along for the ride. 25mg of elemental iron per serve with Ferrochel® - for high bioavailability Supports healthy red blood cell production Supports healthy oxygen transportation and energy metabolism Gentle on the digestive system NSF Certified for Sport® - trusted by elite athletes and sports teams around the world Suitable for vegetarians Why is iron important Iron is one of the most important minerals, and one of the most commonly lacking minerals in the diet. It’s a core component of haemoglobin - the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to every cell in the body. Getting enough iron through diet alone isn't always straightforward - particularly for those with higher needs. Who needs iron the most The groups most likely to need iron supplementation include women of reproductive age (particularly those with heavier menstrual cycles), pregnant women, endurance athletes, vegetarians and vegans (plant-based iron is less readily absorbed than haem iron from meat), and anyone with increased physiological demands on their iron stores. Why the bisglycinate form of iron makes all the difference Here's the problem with most iron supplements – the form of iron they use is hard on the digestive system. Ferrous sulphate and ferrous fumarate (the most common forms) are poorly absorbed, and the iron that doesn't make it into the bloodstream sits in the gut, causing queasiness, slows bowel emptying, and discomfort that put so many people off iron supplements. Iron bisglycinate works differently. Instead of the form that irritates, it uses iron bound to glycine (a naturally occurring amino acid), which the body absorbs through a completely different, much gentler pathway. Thorne Iron Bisglycinate uses Ferrochel®, a highly researched and well-tolerated form of iron. More iron gets in. Less is left behind to cause trouble. Thorne Iron Bisglycinate is also NSF Certified for Sport®, ensuring rigorous testing for quality and the absence of substances banned by major athletic organisations. If you've tried iron supplements before and given up because of how they made you feel, this one is worth looking at. Same mineral. Gentler form.
