Iron

Other names: iron (bisglycinate chelate)

Iron is one of the most important micronutrients for the human body. Its other names also include iron (bisglycinate chelate). Iron is essential for the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. A deficiency of this element can cause anemia, which is manifested by bloating, weakness, pallor, and other symptoms.

Iron (bisglycinate chelate) is often used in the food industry and pharmaceutical sector. It is a component of many dietary supplements and vitamin preparations that are designed to replenish iron in the body. In the food industry, it is added to cereals, sugar, dairy products and other highly processed foods. This form of iron is popular due to its highly absorbable and bioavailable form, which is also gentle on the stomach. Thus, people suffering from anemia or women in pregnancy when the need for iron is increased can effectively replenish iron in the body with these products.
