Product features
High Bioavailability
Ferrous glycinate exists stably in a chelated state. The iron ions are wrapped by glycine and are not easy to bind to inhibitory factors in the gastrointestinal tract. They enter the blood directly through the small intestinal absorption channel. The absorption rate is as high as more than 80%. It is especially suitable for people who have poor absorption of traditional inorganic iron preparations or gastrointestinal sensitivity.
Low Gastrointestinal Irritation
Compared with traditional iron preparations such as ferrous sulfate, the iron ions in the molecular structure of ferrous glycinate are wrapped by organic amino acids, which reduces the irritation to the gastrointestinal mucosa and almost does not cause common side effects such as stomach discomfort, nausea or diarrhea. It is suitable for pregnant women, children and the elderly.
No Metallic Taste
Ferrous glycinate firmly wraps iron ions through a chelate structure, preventing free iron from producing a metallic smell. It can effectively reduce nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable reactions when taking the medicine. It is especially suitable for children and pregnant women who are sensitive to smells.
Strong Stability
The iron ions in the chelate structure of glycine iron are firmly wrapped by glycine, reducing the possibility of contact with air and moisture, reducing the risk of oxidation, and can still maintain more than 90% of the effective content after being stored at room temperature for 6 months, which helps to reduce losses during transportation and storage.
Product Applications
Nutritional Supplements
Ferrous glycine is widely used in oral iron supplements for adults and children to improve iron deficiency anemia and increase iron reserves in the body.
Nutritional Products For Pregnant Women
Ferrous glycine can be used as an iron source in nutritional supplements during pregnancy to help pregnant women prevent anemia and fetal growth retardation caused by iron deficiency.
Infant Formula
