Iron Bisglycinate / Ferrous Bisglycinate

Description

Iron bisglycinate is a compound where iron is bound to two glycine molecules, forming a chelate. This chelated form protects the iron from interactions with other compounds, increasing its stability and preventing the formation of insoluble iron compounds in the digestive system. The presence of the glycine molecules also enhances the absorption of iron in the small intestine. Iron bisglycinate is often used in iron supplements to prevent or treat iron deficiency anemia and to support overall iron levels in the body.
