Solgar Gentle Iron 25mg
by Solgar
"Iron bisglycinate chelate — the gentle, non-constipating iron supplement with superior absorption"
Overview
Solgar Gentle Iron provides 25mg of iron as bisglycinate chelate, a form specifically designed to be gentle on the stomach. Unlike ferrous sulfate (the most common iron form), iron bisglycinate doesn't cause the constipation, nausea, and stomach upset that make many people stop taking iron supplements. Studies show bisglycinate chelate is absorbed 2-4x better than ferrous sulfate, meaning you need less to achieve the same effect. With 180 capsules at under $17, it's a 6-month supply.
