The chemical form of iron determines its absorption and digestive tolerance. Ferrous bisglycinate provides a source of iron that is highly absorbable and well tolerated, making it suitable for long-term use.
Nutribiolite Iron Complex provides 20 mg of iron per capsule, 80 mg of vitamin C and active B vitamins. Taking one capsule a day makes it easy to use, and each pack provides up to four months’ supply.
How to choose an iron supplement
The source of iron is the primary factor to consider when purchasing. Ferrous bisglycinate is an organic chelate in which Fe²⁺ is bound to two molecules of glycine, a structure associated with high absorption and good digestive tolerance.
The presence of vitamin C enhances the formula’s effectiveness by increasing iron absorption. The daily dose, the number of capsules and the duration of the pack provide a practical basis for comparing products.
Vegetarian capsules and plant-based excipients make it easier for vegans to choose a suitable product. Cassava starch and L-leucine are part of a formulation suitable for this type of diet.
How the body utilises iron
Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, to the normal transport of oxygen and to normal energy metabolism. It also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin C enhances iron absorption and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. This combination is particularly important in diets containing phytates from foods such as pulses, seeds, whole grains and nuts.
Vitamins B6, B2 and B12, and folate, round off the nutritional support. They play a role in functions related to energy metabolism, the normal formation or maintenance of red blood cells, normal blood formation, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
