Overall, AlchePharma Iron Liquid provides a gentle, effective, and enjoyable way to boost your iron intake.   Ferrous bisglycinate chelate is a form of iron that offers several advantages over other common iron supplements, making it a popular choice for people who need to boost their iron intake. Here's why: 1. Gentle on the stomach: Unlike some other iron supplements, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous bisglycinate chelate is gentle on the digestive system. This is because the iron is gebunden (chelated) to two glycine molecules, which protect it from interacting with the lining of your stomach and intestines. This can help to reduce common side effects of iron supplements, such as nausea, constipation, and diarrhea. 2. Highly bioavailable: Bioavailability refers to how well a nutrient is absorbed by the body. Ferrous bisglycinate chelate is more bioavailable than other forms of iron, meaning that your body can absorb more of the iron it contains. This is because the glycine molecules help to transport the iron into your bloodstream. 3. Fewer side effects: Because it is gentle on the stomach and highly bioavailable, ferrous bisglycinate chelate is less likely to cause side effects than other forms of iron. This makes it a good choice for people who have sensitive stomachs or who are prone to side effects from other iron supplements. 4. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans: Ferrous bisglycinate chelate is a form of heme iron, which is the type of iron found in meat. However, it is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans, as it is derived from plant sources. 5. May be helpful for people with certain medical conditions: Ferrous bisglycinate chelate may be helpful for people with certain medical conditions that affect iron absorption, such as celiac disease or Crohn's disease. Overall, ferrous bisglycinate chelate is a safe and effective form of iron that is gentle on the stomach, highly bioavailable, and has fewer side effects than other forms of iron. It is a good choice for people who need to boost their iron intake, especially those who have sensitive stomachs or who are prone to side effects from other iron supplements. Here are some additional things to keep in mind about ferrous bisglycinate chelate: It is important to talk to your doctor before taking any new supplements, including ferrous bisglycinate chelate. The dosage of ferrous bisglycinate chelate will vary depending on your individual needs. Ferrous bisglycinate chelate can interact with certain medications, so it is important to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking before starting this supplement.

  Product # 628: Easy Iron™                                                                Background: 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.*    Additional Information Ferrochel® Effectiveness Ferrochel's many unique attributes support its superior role as an iron supplement in humans. These include: Small, stable molecule with no ionic charge Does not react with other nutrients Bioavailable (easily absorbed) Safe Less gastric upset Small, stable and non-reactive, the Ferrochel molecule is better absorbed Because small protein peptides are easier for the body to absorb, the body will combine inorganic minerals with amino acids to take advantage of the intestine’s affinity for protein absorption. This binding process is called chelation (key-lay-shun). Albion's Ferrochel does the stomach’s work in advance by binding minerals to amino acids resulting in small, organic chelated iron molecules that can pass easily through the intestinal wall. When a mineral salt is dissolved in the stomach, the mineral becomes a charged ion that can block absorption of other nutrients or combine with other dietary factors to form unabsorbable compounds (see Figure 1). This is particularly true of iron, which can deactivate nutrients such as vitamin E and ascorbic acid and block uptake of minerals like calcium. The Ferrochel molecule is ionically neutral — it carries no electrical charge. This neutrality ensures that the mineral does not react with other nutrients and is delivered to the intestine for absorption (see Figure 2).  Even with Ferrochel’s enhanced bioavailability, it is extremely safe. Ferrochel absorption is controlled by iron stores in the body, with greater amounts generally being absorbed by individuals with lower iron status. A body suffering iron-deficiency anemia may uptake 90 percent of the iron, while a body that is not iron deficient may only take up 10 percent — or just the amount that body needs enough to offset losses in metabolism. Ferrochel has been found to be 2.6 times safer than iron sulfate and safer than typical inorganic iron found in foods and dietary supplements. The safety and effectiveness of Ferrochel is of particular importance in children. Iron deficiency anemia is closely tied to higher mortality, delayed physical development, impairment of cognitive functions and psychomotor development in prenatal and infant development. Ferrochel's ability to safely and effectively deliver critical iron during these crucial stages of development is significant. Compared to inorganic iron, Ferrochel causes less gastric upset In clinical research comparing inorganic iron to Ferrochel, a significant number of study participants preferred Ferrochel and reported fewer instances of gastrointestinal (GI) upset than with ferrous sulfate, which is typically associated with gastric side effects such as constipation and nausea.
