Common strengths: Often around 18–27 mg elemental iron (varies by product version)
🩸 What it’s for
Iron supplements are used to support:
🩹 Healthy hemoglobin and red blood cell formation
💪 Oxygen transport in the body
⚡ Energy and reduced fatigue
🧠 Cognitive function support (via oxygen delivery)
This type is especially helpful for people with low iron levels, heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnancy/emerging needs, or those following plant‑predominant diets.
🧬 How it works
Iron is a mineral your body uses to make hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen
The Ferrochel® form is an iron bisglycinate chelate, which is easier on the stomach and often gentler than some other iron forms
Chelated iron can have less digestive discomfort and better absorption for many people
👍 Pros
Gentler on digestion vs standard ferrous sulfate
Good choice if you’ve experienced iron‑supplement side effects like nausea or constipation
Supports energy and blood health
Often well‑tolerated
⚠️ Things to consider
Iron supplements should be taken only if you need them, as excess iron isn’t beneficial and can be harmful
Best absorbed with vitamin C or food containing vitamin C
Avoid taking with calcium, tea/coffee, or antacids at the same time
Not suitable without testing/doctor guidance if you’re not iron deficient
