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