Suitable for Kosher and Vegetarian diets. Do you find traditional iron supplements difficult to take? Do they cause digestive issues, bloating or constipation? Introducing Solgar’s Gentle Iron – containing iron bisglycinate, a form of iron which is well tolerated by sensitive stomachs and easily absorbed. Iron is an important mineral and essential nutrient required by the body for a myriad of biological functions. Following a balanced diet with red meats, nuts, pulses, eggs, grains and leafy vegetables should be able to help you achieve healthy levels of iron. For those who are on restrictive diets such as Vegetarians, this may not be so easy to achieve, and additional support may be needed. Getting healthy levels of iron has been shown to diminish fatigue and support energy levels – something many people seek to keep up their busy lifestyle and the natural ageing process. Iron also helps carry oxygen to active cells and tissues, contributing to normal cognitive function and a healthy immune system. Iron can be quite harsh on the intestinal system. This is why Solgar introduced Gentle Iron. This ingenious supplement contains iron in bisglycinate form so it’s easy to absorb and gentle on the stomach. 1 tablet a day of Gentle Iron provides 20 mg of iron in ferrous bisglycinate form, equalling 143% of the Nutrient Reference Values.
