Easy Iron (Patented Ferrochel®, Iron bisglycinate) (90) 90

Size:90 Iron is a very important nutrient, yet studies show that iron
deficiency continues to be one of the most common nutrient deficiencies
worldwide. Iron is essential for the synthesis of healthy red blood cells. It
is also involved in energy production and immune function. The problem with
many iron supplements on the market is that they often cause stomach upset,
constipation and sometimes nausea. We use the patented Ferrochel form of iron.
This form of iron is gentle on the stomach and has been shown to be better
absorbed than other forms of iron. Ferrochel has been shown in studies to
increase and maintain blood levels of iron. Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are
included for additional support in building healthy red blood cells.
Features: Patented Ferrochel, iron bisglycinate features iron chelated to the
amino acid glycine. Manufactured by Albion Laboratories, a world leader in
chelated minerals. 25 mg of elemental iron per capsule. Vegetarian Benefits:
Enhanced absorption of iron without gastrointestinal side effects such as
constipation and nausea typical of non-chelated iron supplements. Iron bis-
glycinate is shown in studies to be effective at increasing blood levels of
iron. Iron is an essential trace mineral that is critical for energy
production as part of the mitochondrial electron transport chain; part of the
cell where ATP (energy) is synthesized. Iron is an important component of the
antioxidant enzyme catalase which helps neutralize peroxide radicals. Iron is
essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of
red blood cells. Iron helps ensure oxygen delivery to all cells. Iron is also
needed for amino acid metabolism, collagen synthesis and carnitine synthesis.

Features:

• Small, stable molecule with no ionic charge
• Less gastric upset
• Bioavailable (easily absorbed)
• Does not react with other nutrients
• Patented Ferrochel, iron bisglycinate features iron chelated to the amino acid glycine.
