Solgar Gentle Iron 25mg
by Solgar
"The gentlest iron supplement — iron bisglycinate that won't upset your stomach"
Overview
Solgar Gentle Iron provides 25mg of iron as iron bisglycinate, the most bioavailable and stomach-friendly form of supplemental iron. Unlike ferrous sulfate (the most common form), iron bisglycinate is chelated to the amino acid glycine, which dramatically reduces GI side effects like constipation, nausea, and stomach pain. Solgar has been a premium supplement brand since 1947.
