Ferrous sulfate and ferrous gluconate are considered 'fast absorbing' iron products, but studies indicate that ferrous gluconate generally has slightly slower absorption. This may lend it to being better tolerated. Nevertheless, the ferrous gluconate contained in Ferralet-90 is the 'fast absorbing' iron in the product.
The amount of elemental iron. Here is an example product that lists 325 mg of ferrous sulfate, which provides 65 mg of elemental iron (20% of 325 equals 65): Ferrous gluconate contains less elemental iron than ferrous sulfate and is 12% elemental iron by weight. It actually is closer to 11.6%, but 12% is often referenced since it is a nice ...
Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate. Ferrous bisglycinate chelate is a patented chelated form of iron by Albion, and is a ferrous (i.e. 'iron') cation coupled to two glycine molecules. The proprietary name for the iron is 'Ferrochel'. It is promoted as having improved absorption and tolerability compared to other iron forms (e.g. ferrous sulfate).
Iron supplements, such as ferrous Gguconate, can interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine in the body and therefore, taking them together may reduce the effectiveness of the levothyroxine. This could negatively affect your thyroid levels. Specifically, the iron ions in ferrous gluconate can bind to levothyroxine in the gastrointestinal ...
Swallow capsules whole. Do not break, open, or chew the capsules. Place tablet in the mouth, where it will dissolve in seconds and then be swallowed with the saliva. Do not chew, break, or split the tablet. Do not crush, chew, suck, or swallow. Reapply if swallowed within first 6 hours. Swallow capsules whole.
The vast majority contain either 18 mg or 27 mg of elemental iron. Amino-Iron, as stated, contains 18 mg per dose. Since Amino-Iron contains only 18 mg of elemental iron per dose, most ferrous sulfate products will provide more, as 325 mg of ferrous sulfate (65 mg of elemental iron) is the most common strength available.
Multiple studies have shown that Ferrochel is far more absorbable than ferrous sulfate. One study found that Ferrochel, per dose, is about 70% absorbed, and has a bioavailability (i.e., rate and extent of absorption in our body) that is 3.7 times the amount of ferrous sulfate products.
