CanPrev Iron Bis-Glycinate 25 - Gentle Chelated Iron for Superior Absorption

Superior Absorption & Bioavailability: The Ferrochel ferrous bis-glycinate chelate form uses a unique chelation process where iron molecules are bound to two glycine amino acids, creating a stable structure that protects iron from interacting with inhibitors in the digestive tract. This chelated form achieves significantly higher absorption rates compared to ferrous sulfate, allowing the iron to pass efficiently through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream where it's immediately available for hemoglobin synthesis and cellular oxygen delivery.

Gentle Gastrointestinal Tolerance: Unlike ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate forms that release free iron ions causing oxidative stress and inflammation in the gut lining, bis-glycinate chelation keeps iron bound during transit through the digestive system. This targeted delivery mechanism prevents the common side effects of constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramping, making it the preferred choice for individuals with sensitive digestive systems or those who have previously discontinued iron supplementation due to intolerance.

Enhanced Red Blood Cell Function & Energy: Iron serves as the central component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for binding and transporting oxygen from the lungs to every tissue in the body. Adequate iron levels support optimal hemoglobin production, ensuring efficient oxygen delivery to muscles, organs, and brain tissue. This physiological process directly translates to sustained energy levels, reduced fatigue, improved exercise performance, and enhanced cognitive function including focus and mental clarity.

Targeted Deficiency Prevention: Iron functions as a crucial cofactor for numerous enzymatic reactions involved in energy metabolism, DNA synthesis, and cellular respiration. This formulation specifically addresses iron deficiency anemia by providing therapeutic-level elemental iron without the cofactors found in the Iron 20 formula, making it ideal for those who need targeted iron supplementation under healthcare guidance. The 25mg dose aligns with Health Canada recommendations for preventing and treating iron deficiency while supporting normal early fetal development during pregnancy.
