Description
Ferrous Bisglycinate Product Overview
Ferrous bisglycinate (C4H8FeN2O4) is a greenish-brown to grey powder in which iron is bound to two molecules of Glycine. This chelate protects iron from interactions in the gut, which improves absorption and reduces stomach upset compared with ferrous sulfate.
In addition, producers of nutritional products use it in tablets, capsules, gummies and liquid drops, especially in prenatal and women’s health formulas, within the regulations of each market. Similarly, food producers use it to fortify milk, cereals and drinks because it causes less taste and color change, and it is permitted in some infant foods.
Notably, related mineral chelates in our range include Magnesium Bisglycinate, Zinc Gluconate and Chromium Picolinate.
