THORNE Iron Bisglycinate 25 mg Dietary Supplement Capsules 60 per Bottle

Iron is essential to the formation and function of healthy red blood cells. An adequate amount of dietary iron is required for blood cells to transport oxygen efficiently throughout the body. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), up to 16% of individuals in some populations are deficient in iron. Individuals who can be prone to iron deficiency include: Women who menstruate; those who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, who have undergone gastric bypass surgery, who eat a very high fiber diet or who are recovering from blood loss, such as from an injury or surgery. Frequent blood donors and performance athletes may also be at risk for iron deficiency. Signs of iron deficiency include fatigue or weakness, shortness of breath, pale skin, cold hands and feet, feeling lightheaded or dizzy, changes in menstrual cycles and decreased athletic performance.

Thorne's Iron Bisglycinate contains iron reacted with glycine to optimize its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thus minimizing the typical side effects of iron supplementation.
