Thorne Research Iron Bisglycinate Capsules
Iron is the mineral your body uses to carry oxygen in the blood and turn food into the energy you run on. When intake falls short, that everyday tiredness can creep in. Thorne Research Iron Bisglycinate provides 25 mg of elemental iron per capsule in a chelated form chosen for how well the body takes it up, to help maintain healthy iron levels and support normal energy.*
What is iron bisglycinate?
Iron bisglycinate is iron bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. That bond keeps the iron stable as it moves through the digestive tract, which is why this form tends to sit more easily with people who find other iron supplements rough on the stomach. Thorne uses Ferrochel Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate, a researched, well-studied source. One capsule gives you 25 mg of elemental iron.
Who tends to reach for an iron supplement
Iron needs vary a lot from person to person. People who menstruate, athletes with high training loads, frequent blood donors, and those following plant-forward eating patterns often look at iron more closely, since plant iron is absorbed less readily than the iron in meat. That said, more is not always better. Iron is one nutrient where it pays to know your numbers before topping up, so a quick lab check with your clinician is the right first step.

Why athletes and label-readers pick Thorne
This product is NSF Certified for Sport, which means each batch is tested against more than 200 substances banned by major athletic organizations. For competitive athletes that certification removes a lot of guesswork, and for everyone else it is a useful signal that what is on the label is what is in the bottle. One honest caveat: iron has a strong, slightly metallic taste, so most people prefer to take the capsule with a meal and a full glass of water.
How to take it
The suggested use is one capsule daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Pairing it with a source of vitamin C, like citrus or a handful of berries, can help your body absorb the iron. If you take other medications or you are pregnant or nursing, talk with your clinician first so the dose fits your situation.

Q: Is iron bisglycinate gentler than other iron forms? A: Many people find it easier to take.
