Solgar Gentle Iron uses Ferrochel, a patented Albion iron bisglycinate chelate that is significantly better absorbed and dramatically gentler on the stomach than ferrous sulfate, the form found in most cheap iron supplements. Constipation, nausea, and stomach upset, the most common complaints about iron supplementation, are largely eliminated with the chelated form. Take 1 capsule daily with vitamin C-rich food (or a 500 mg vitamin C supplement) to maximize absorption. Take away from coffee, tea, calcium, or dairy, all of which inhibit iron absorption. Recheck ferritin levels every 3 months to confirm progress.
Gentle, well-absorbed iron. Especially relevant for menstruating individuals or low-energy / pale-skin profiles.
