The review
Why we put this on the shelf.
If you've ever taken iron and regretted it within an hour — that was likely iron sulfate or fumarate, the cheap forms. Bisglycinate (chelated to two glycine molecules) is dramatically gentler on the gut and absorbed more efficiently.
Critical for menstruating women, endurance athletes, plant-based eaters, and anyone with low ferritin. 25mg elemental iron — a sensible daily dose, not a megadose. Take with vitamin C to boost absorption; avoid taking with coffee, tea, or calcium.
