Thorne Research Iron Bisglycinate Capsules

Description

Iron’s job is to help hemoglobin move oxygen through the bloodstream, so a shortfall often shows up as everyday tiredness before it shows up anywhere else. Thorne Research Iron Bisglycinate provides 25 mg of elemental iron in a chelated form, iron bound to two glycine molecules, which tends to be easier on digestion than some other iron salts.

Women with higher iron needs, endurance athletes, frequent blood donors, and those eating mostly plant-based often pay closer attention to iron intake, since iron from plants is absorbed less efficiently than iron from meat. Because too much iron isn’t better than too little, a lab check with your provider is a sensible first step before adding a supplement like this to your routine.

• 25 mg elemental iron per capsule, from Ferrochel ferrous bisglycinate chelate
• Chosen for absorption and digestive tolerability
• 60 capsules per bottle, about a two-month supply at one daily
• Dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free

It’s NSF Certified for Sport, meaning each batch is screened against banned substances, a detail that matters for competitive athletes and offers everyone else a bit more assurance about label accuracy. Iron has a metallic taste, so most people take it with food and a full glass of water, and pairing it with a source of vitamin C can help absorption.
