Thorne's Iron Bisglycinate utilizes Ferrochel® ferrous bisglycinate chelate, a form of iron that is highly absorbable and gentle on the stomach, minimizing common gastrointestinal side effects associated with iron supplementation.
Iron bisglycinate is formed by binding iron to two glycine molecules, a process that protects the iron from binding to other compounds that can inhibit its absorption, such as phytates and tannins found in plant-based foods.
Adequate iron intake is crucial for the synthesis of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues, thereby supporting energy production and overall vitality.
This formulation is particularly beneficial for individuals with increased iron needs, such as women of menstruating age, athletes, and those with dietary restrictions, helping to maintain optimal iron levels without the unpleasant side effects often experienced with other iron forms.

Iron Bisglycinate Absorption
Studies have demonstrated that iron bisglycinate has superior bioavailability compared to other iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, leading to improved iron status with fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
Iron and Athletic Performance
Research indicates that adequate iron levels are essential for optimal athletic performance, as iron plays a critical role in oxygen delivery to muscles and energy production during exercise.
