A well-regarded chelated iron (Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate) delivering 10mg per serving, good for maintenance or mild needs due to high absorption and gentleness, but insufficient for significant deficiency.
California Gold Nutrition Iron offers 10mg of iron in the well-regarded Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate form. This form is highly praised by nutritionists for its superior bioavailability and gentleness on the digestive system, which helps minimize common side effects like constipation. A 10mg dosage is a reasonable maintenance dose for many adults or suitable for very mild deficiencies, and it's a good choice for those who want a quality iron form without needing a therapeutic dose. However, for significant iron deficiency or diagnosed anemia, a higher dosage (e.g., 18mg to 65mg) would typically be recommended. The absence of a stated 'price per serving' for this product is a notable drawback for direct value comparison, but the overall price of $11.88 is reasonable for a quality chelated iron product. Online reviews generally praise the brand for its quality and the product for being easy on the stomach.
- Uses highly bioavailable and gentle chelated iron (Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate).
- Less likely to cause digestive upset compared to common iron forms.
- Reputable brand known for quality ingredients.
- Suitable for maintenance or very mild iron needs.
- 10mg dose may be insufficient for therapeutic treatment of moderate to severe iron deficiency.
- Lack of explicit price per serving information due to 'servings: 0' makes cost efficiency harder to assess.
