Ferrochel Iron Chelate

- Chelated iron bisglycinate
Ferrochel Iron Chelate is a patented iron, in the form of bisglycinate, providing 27 mg of elemental iron. Unlike many other forms of iron, this carries no electrical charge, making it more easily absorbable and less likely to interfere with the absorption of other nutrients such as vitamin E, ascorbic acid and calcium. Since Ferrochel Iron Chelate is a neutral molecule, it is not destroyed by gastric acidity and arrives intact in the intestine where it is easily absorbed. Inorganic iron supplements, such as iron sulfate, have low bioavailability and often cause gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, constipation and other unwanted stomach upsets. The form of iron found in Ferrochel Iron Chelate offers clinicians a more optimal alternative.
