Possible Side Effects Iron bisglycinate is much gentler than ferrous sulphate. Rare reports include mild nausea or dark-coloured stools (normal with iron).

Discontinue if you experience significant gastrointestinal upset and consult your doctor. Frequently Asked Questions Why is iron bisglycinate better than ferrous sulphate? Iron bisglycinate is chelated with the amino acid glycine, protecting it from competing ions in the gut and dramatically improving absorption efficiency.

It causes significantly less constipation, nausea, and stomach cramps than ferrous sulphate. Who needs iron supplements? Women with heavy menstrual periods, pregnant women, vegetarians and vegans, athletes (especially female runners), and those with digestive conditions affecting absorption are most at risk of iron deficiency.

Should I take iron on an empty stomach or with food? Iron bisglycinate is well tolerated with food and does not require an empty stomach for absorption (unlike ferrous sulphate). Taking with food reduces any chance of stomach upset. How do I know if I need iron supplements? Symptoms of iron deficiency include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, brittle nails, and poor concentration.

Always confirm with a blood test (ferritin and haemoglobin) before supplementing. Does iron supplementation cause constipation? Iron bisglycinate has a dramatically lower rate of constipation compared to ferrous sulphate or ferrous gluconate, making it an excellent choice for women who have struggled with iron supplements in the past.
