Designs For Health Ferrochel delivers 27 mg of elemental iron per capsule as Ferrochel Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate - a patented, highly bioavailable form from Albion Advanced Nutrition that supports healthy iron levels, energy production, and red blood cell formation without the digestive discomfort common with standard iron supplements.
Why This Supplement Works
Most iron supplements on the market use ferrous sulfate, a form notorious for causing constipation, nausea, and stomach cramping. Ferrochel iron chelate is different. By binding elemental iron to glycine - a naturally occurring amino acid - the chelation process creates a stable compound your gut handles far more gently, while delivering a significantly higher absorption rate. Studies on iron bisglycinate chelate confirm improved bioavailability compared to non-chelated forms, making each 27 mg capsule go further toward replenishing your iron stores.
Key Nutrients
• Iron (as Ferrochel Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate) - 27 mg per capsule, delivering 150% of the Daily Value. Supports hemoglobin and red blood cell production, oxygen transport throughout the body, cellular energy metabolism, immune function, thyroid function, and cognitive health.
• Ferrous bisglycinate chelate - Albion's patented Ferrochel form, backed by clinical research demonstrating reduced risk of gastrointestinal side effects versus ferrous sulfate.

How to Take
Take 1 vegetarian capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For enhanced absorption, pair with a vitamin C-rich food or supplement. Avoid taking alongside coffee, tea, or calcium-rich foods, as these can reduce iron absorption. Keep out of reach of children - accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of serious harm in children under 6 years of age. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
