Why

Iron is one of the most essential minerals in the human body — a critical component of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to every tissue and organ. Iron is also essential for energy production, immune function, and cognitive performance. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide, particularly affecting women of reproductive age, pregnant women, vegetarians and vegans, athletes, and those with certain medical conditions. The problem with many iron supplements is that the most common forms — ferrous sulphate and ferrous fumarate — are notorious for causing nausea, stomach cramps, constipation, and dark stools, because inorganic iron salts are poorly absorbed and the unabsorbed iron irritates the gastrointestinal lining. Iron bisglycinate chelate — iron bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine — is absorbed via a different pathway to inorganic iron salts, resulting in significantly higher absorption rates and dramatically less gastrointestinal irritation. Solgar uses patented Albion® iron bisglycinate chelate (US Patent Nos. 6,706,904 and 6,716,814) — the gold standard in chelated mineral technology. Since 1947, Solgar has been committed to producing premium quality nutritional supplements, trusted by health professionals worldwide for over 75 years.
