Vitality iron bisglycinate chelate capsules are ideal to easily compensate for an iron deficiency and to bring the iron level and ferritin level back to normal in a short time.
Iron bisglycinate is a combination of iron and glycine. Glycine has the smallest molecule of all amino acids and can therefore effectively infiltrate iron into the body through the intestinal wall. The iron contained in iron bisglycinate chelate is therefore very bioavailable and can be optimally absorbed by the body.
A study shows that iron bisglycinate is 59% better absorbed by the body than e.g. iron sulfate, which is contained in most iron preparations. Iron bisglycinate can also be absorbed by the body if iron-blocking foods such as coffee, tea or fiber are available at the same time. This is also a significant advantage over other iron compounds.
Orthomolecular doctors know that iron is a highly reactive mineral that can damage the cells if the dosage is too high. Therefore, in the case of iron deficiency, only the dose that is necessary to bring the iron level into the normal range should be taken. Under no circumstances should high-dose iron supplements containing more than 30 mg of iron be taken.
The Vitality iron bisglycinate capsules contain the optimal dosage of 14mg iron. Due to its exceptionally high quality and bioavailability, this dose is sufficient in most cases to compensate for an iron deficiency in a short time. Only in rare cases may it be necessary to take 2 capsules a day for 2-3 weeks. It is advisable to take 1 capsule in the morning and in the evening in order not to supply the body with too much iron at once.
Ferrochel® is a patented form of iron bisglycinate, which is iron chelated to two glycine amino acid molecules. Chelation creates a stable, easily absorbed complex, making Ferrochel® more bioavailable than other iron forms.
Unlike other iron types, Ferrochel® doesn't interact with substances that inhibit iron absorption and doesn't compete with other nutrients for uptake.
Copper is significantly involved in iron metabolism, as it converts divalent iron into trivalent iron as part of the enzyme ceruloplasmin. A lack of copper can lead to an iron deficiency. Supplementing iron with copper supports normal iron transport in the body.
for better iron absorption: Iron bisglycinate also contains vitamin C, as studies show that it can increase iron absorption. In contrast to conventional iron tablets, with iron bisglycinate, it is not necessary to take high doses to raise the iron level.
Iron bisglycinate is considered the most tolerable iron compounds and is also suitable for a sensitive stomach. Side effects when taking the iron bisglycinate capsules are therefore very rare. A comparative study showed that 32% of the study participants had gastrointestinal problems when taking iron sulfate.
