Ferrous Bisglycinate（Cat No.:R021671）, is a chelated iron compound commonly used as a dietary supplement and pharmaceutical ingredient. It consists of iron (Fe²⁺) bound to two molecules of glycine, an amino acid. This chelated form of iron is known for its enhanced bioavailability and reduced gastrointestinal side effects compared to other iron supplements. Ferrous Bisglycinate is widely used to treat iron deficiency anemia and to prevent iron deficiency in individuals with dietary limitations. Its efficient absorption by the body and reduced likelihood of causing digestive discomfort make it a preferred choice in iron supplementation, promoting overall health and well-being.
