FAQs about Iron Support
What is iron bisglycinate?
Iron bisglycinate gives us a great way to supplement with iron, a key mineral our bodies need. Iron plays a big role in making new red blood cells and carrying oxygen throughout our bodies. This specific form of iron is bound to the amino acid glycine. That structure makes it highly absorbable and helps it get where it needs to go in your body.
Does iron bisglycinate cause constipation?
Traditional iron supplements, like ferrous sulfate, can often cause stomach issues, including constipation. But with iron bisglycinate, you don’t typically see those kinds of gastrointestinal side effects. Its unique chelated form means it’s gentle on your stomach, so you get the iron you need without the discomfort.
How do I take iron bisglycinate?
For the best absorption, you should generally take iron bisglycinate on an empty stomach, about an hour before a meal or a couple of hours after. If you’re sensitive and it upsets your stomach, it’s fine to take it with a small amount of food. Just be sure to avoid things that can block iron absorption, like dairy, coffee, tea, and high-fiber foods.
It is best to take iron with vitamin C to improve absorption. Avoid taking iron with thyroid medication, calcium, and other minerals.
When should I take iron bisglycinate?
You can take it at a time that works best for you and your routine. Some studies suggest taking it in the morning on an empty stomach can lead to better absorption. However, the most important thing is consistency. Find a time that’s easy to remember and stick with it so your body can consistently restore its iron levels.
What is Ferrochel iron bisglycinate?
Ferrochel is a special, patented version of iron bisglycinate. It’s a fully chelated form of iron that’s been clinically shown to have great bioavailability. That means your body can absorb and use it more effectively. It’s a very well-tolerated option for iron support, and it won’t typically cause the stomach upset you might get from other iron supplements.
How much should I take?
It is best to meet with your practitioner about what dose is best for you.
