Iron is an essential mineral that is required for growth and development. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body as well as myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles. Iron is also needed for the synthesis of certain hormones and DNA.[1] However, iron deficiency is one of the most widespread nutrient deficiencies across the globe.[2,3] Additionally, certain individuals also are more likely to have difficulties getting enough iron.
Iron deficiency may lead to[2,3]:
- Anemia
- GI upset
- Fatigue
- Muscle weakness
- Lack of energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Compromised immune function
Fortunately, iron supplements have been shown to be beneficial for supporting one’s daily iron requirements. The premier iron supplement on the market is Ferrochel®
What is Ferrochel®?
Ferrochel® is a unique, fully-chelated iron supplement formed by binding iron to two organic glycine molecules. It is the most bioavailable and research-supported form of supplemental iron available today.*
What Makes Ferrochel® Unique?
Conventional iron carries a positive electrical charge, but Ferrochel is ionically neutral, which means it does NOT deactivate or block the absorption of other nutrients.* This is especially important in multivitamins.* The small molecular size of Ferrochel allows it to remain intact throughout the G.I. tract for optimal absorption.* In fact, compared to inorganic iron, Ferrochel® (Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate) is more bioavailable and causes less gastric upset.[3,4,5] Additionally, clinical research comparing inorganic iron to Ferrochel® documented study participants reported fewer instances of GI upset with Ferrochel® than with ferrous sulfate (a form of supplemental iron commonly used in dietary supplements).[4] Ferrochel® is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and holds numerous safety and kosher certifications.*
