FAQs
What is iron bisglycinate?
Iron bisglycinate is a form of iron where iron molecules are bound to the amino acid glycine. This chelated form is designed to be easily absorbed by the body and is often gentler on the digestive system than other iron salts.
How do I take Gentle Iron Bisglycinate tablets?
It is typically recommended to take one tablet daily. For best absorption, take it on an empty stomach. However, if you experience stomach discomfort, you can take it with a small meal. Do not take with dairy, antacids, tea, or coffee.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
Yes, this product is explicitly stated as being vegan tablets, making it suitable for individuals following a vegan or vegetarian diet.
What is the benefit of iron for the immune system?
Iron is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system. It plays a role in the production and function of immune cells, helping the body defend against infections.
How long does one bottle last?
The bottle contains 90 tablets, and with a typical dosage of one tablet per day, one bottle will last for 90 days.
Can I take this with other supplements?
It is best to consult with a healthcare professional. While generally safe, iron can interact with certain nutrients or medications, affecting their absorption or efficacy. Avoid taking with calcium supplements or antacids simultaneously.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Troubleshooting
Tablet causes mild stomach upset
Try taking the tablet with a small meal or snack instead of on an empty stomach. Ensure you are not taking it concurrently with foods or supplements that inhibit iron absorption.
Difficulty swallowing tablets
Ensure you are drinking enough water with the tablet. If swallowing remains an issue, consult your healthcare provider for alternative forms of iron supplementation.
