R 319.00
Iron bisglycinate, the form that does not cause constipation.
RED BLOOD CELL PRODUCTION
Iron is the central atom of haemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. Adequate iron is required for energy and exercise capacity.
GENTLE BISGLYCINATE FORM
Ferrochel iron bisglycinate avoids the constipation and nausea associated with traditional ferrous sulfate, while absorbing 2 to 4 times better.
COGNITIVE AND MOOD EFFECTS
Iron deficiency causes fatigue, low mood, brain fog, and restless legs. Replenishment can resolve these symptoms over weeks.
ESPECIALLY RELEVANT FOR WOMEN
Menstruating women have higher iron needs and are the most common group running suboptimal iron stores.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- Iron Bisglycinate Chelate (Ferrochel) 18 mg elemental
- Iron chelated to two glycine amino acid molecules. Absorbed via amino acid transporters, bypassing the saturable mineral pathway and the irritating effect of free iron on the gut lining.
Who is it for?
Menstruating women, vegans and vegetarians, blood donors, endurance athletes, and anyone with diagnosed low ferritin or iron deficiency anaemia.
Why use it?
Traditional ferrous sulfate causes constipation, nausea, and black stools, leading half of users to stop within a month. Ferrochel bisglycinate matches or beats sulfate on absorption with a fraction of the side effects.
When to use it
Take on an empty stomach for best absorption, ideally first thing in the morning with vitamin C or orange juice. Avoid with calcium, tea, or coffee, which inhibit absorption.
How to use it
Take 1 capsule with water and 200 mg of vitamin C (or a glass of orange juice). Avoid taking with calcium, tea, coffee, or wine. Take consistently for 8 to 12 weeks before re-checking ferritin levels.
