When iron runs low, the body first draws on its stores in the liver, spleen and bone marrow, so there are often no obvious symptoms at first. Once those stores run out, iron deficiency anaemia can set in, bringing tiredness, weakness and difficulty concentrating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"11\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"12\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-only\" data-eleid=\"13\"\u003eHPB recommends 18mg a day for women aged 18 to 60, 8mg for men and for women over 60, and 27mg during pregnancy, when blood volume increases to supply the growing baby.

A 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials compared ferrous bisglycinate, the form in Estalife Iron Glycinate, with other iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate. In pregnant women, ferrous bisglycinate taken for 4 to 20 weeks led to higher haemoglobin levels and 64% fewer reported digestive side effects such as nausea, constipation and stomach pain. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"17\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"18\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-only\" data-eleid=\"19\"\u003eWhy Ferrochel™ by Albion™?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"20\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-only\" data-eleid=\"21\"\u003eEstalife Iron Glycinate uses Ferrochel™, a ferrous bisglycinate chelate made by Albion™ Minerals. In this form each iron atom is bound to two molecules of glycine, the smallest amino acid. Common iron salts such as ferrous sulfate release free iron in the gut, which can irritate the stomach lining and is often blamed for nausea and constipation. In the chelated form, the iron is held by glycine, which is why it tends to be gentler on the stomach. Albion™ is one of the most established names in mineral chelates, and TRAACS™ is its mark for fully reacted, 100% chelated minerals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"22\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"23\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-only\" data-eleid=\"24\"\u003eWhat you get per serving\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-only\" data-eleid=\"26\"\u003eIron (from 150mg of Ferrochel™ by Albion™ Minerals TRAACS™ 100% Chelated) | 15mg (83% DV)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"27\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-only\" data-eleid=\"28\"\u003eServing size: 1 Vegetable Capsule | Servings per container: 60 | Supply: 60 days | Vegan | Non-GMO | GMP | FDA-Registered Facility | Made in Singapore\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"29\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-paragraph\" data-eleid=\"30\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-only\" data-eleid=\"31\"\u003eThe 150mg is the weight of the whole iron bisglycinate compound, including the glycine the iron is bound to.
