Iron bisglycinate: a highly absorbable form, without digestive discomfort
Iron bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron that stands apart from other iron forms thanks to its superior digestive tolerance. Bound to glycine — an amino acid naturally found in the body — this form is more readily recognised by the organism, allowing optimal absorption without the unwanted effects often linked to standard iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate.
Each vegetable capsule of this iron-based dietary supplement delivers a precise, effective dose, ideal for maintaining adequate iron levels in the blood. The 120-capsule format provides a two-month supply at the recommended intake of 2 capsules per day.
Iron bisglycinate and iron deficiency: a well-matched response
Iron deficiency is one of the most widespread nutritional shortfalls in the world, affecting women, athletes, teenagers, and people with digestive disorders that impair nutrient absorption in particular. This deficiency can show up as fatigue, breathlessness, pallor, or a weakened immune response.
This iron dietary supplement, containing iron bisglycinate with 14 mg of elemental iron per daily serving, is precisely calibrated to meet the iron needs of these groups. It offers a superior-quality iron source, within the recommended dose, while respecting digestive comfort.
The benefits of iron in bisglycinate form
Iron is an essential trace element involved in many vital biological functions. The health claims authorised by health authorities remind us that iron plays a fundamental role in:
- The normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin
- The normal transport of oxygen in the body
- The normal function of the immune system
- The reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Normal energy metabolism
- Normal cognitive function
- Normal cognitive development in children
- The process of cell division
Iron bisglycinate is therefore recommended in all situations where iron supplementation is desirable: chronic fatigue, heavy periods, pregnancy, vegetarianism, convalescence, low iron intake, or a weakened iron status.
Why choose iron bisglycinate over other forms?
Unlike ferric iron or haem iron, iron in bisglycinate form is highly bioavailable — meaning it enters the bloodstream without interfering with the microbiome or causing abnormal iron build-up. This form of iron is gentle on the digestive system and does not cause constipation, nausea, or irritation of the intestinal lining.
It is therefore recommended by health professionals who want to limit the side effects of their prescriptions. The Ferrochel iron used here is a benchmark in terms of quality and bioavailability.

Frequently asked questions
Can iron bisglycinate cause side effects?
Compared to other forms of iron, iron bisglycinate is far better tolerated. It only rarely causes the digestive side effects (constipation, nausea) associated with other products.
Is this supplement suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, the capsules are 100% plant-based, with no animal-derived ingredients.
What is the difference between ferric iron, haem iron, and bisglycinate?
Iron bisglycinate is a chelated form bound to an amino acid (glycine), which ensures excellent absorption — unlike ferric iron (less well absorbed) or haem iron (derived from meat).
Can this supplement be used by the whole family?
No, this product is intended for adults. For children, a health professional should determine the appropriate form and dosage.
