100% FULLY REACTED FERROUS BISGLYCINATE
Ferrous bisglycinate is a highly absorbable form of iron that is easier on the digestive system than other forms of iron.‡
Ferrous bisglycinate, also known as iron bisglycinate, ferrous bisglycinate chelate, ferrous glycinate, and iron glycinate, is the scientific name for this particular form of iron.‡
Cypress Minerals' ferrous bisglycinate is a fully chelated mineral, increasing its bioavailability in the body. Fully reacted, chelated minerals remain covalently bonded and can be properly absorbed and used by the body. Additionally they do not disassociate in the stomach’s acidic environment. ‡
Fully reacted mineral ingredients, such as our ferrous bisglycinate are up to four times more bioavailable, with less inhibition by other minerals, and have fewer potential side effects. ‡

Ferrous Bisglycinate that Fits your Formula
Ferrous bisglycinate is a chelated and fully reacted mineral created by binding bivalent iron with two glycine molecules.
The chelation process increases the solubility of this supplemental iron, enhancing bioavailability and absorption in the small intestine.‡
Chelated ferrous bisglycinate may be used as part of a treatment approach for iron-deficiency anemia.
Ferrous bisglycinate is recognized as being more tolerable than other forms of iron for individuals using supplemental iron. 7, ‡

The potential benefits of Ferrous Bisglycinate may include:
Researchers suggest that because ferrous bisglycinate has better bioavailability than other supplemental forms of iron, it is recommended as a supplement ingredient.
A randomized trial of children aged 1 to 13 years old who were diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia, were divided into two groups with one group receiving supplemental ferrous bisglycinate and the other group receiving polymaltose iron. The results of this trial showed that while both supplemental iron approaches were successful, the group of children receiving supplemental ferrous bisglycinate had markedly higher ferritin and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin levels.
A randomized, controlled trial of two groups of pregnant women (12 – 16 weeks of gestation) were provided with ferrous bisglycinate with folinic acid as multivitamins or with ferrous fumarate. Supplementation with ferrous bisglycinate with folinic acid as a multivitamin showed higher absorption levels, better gastrointestinal tolerance, and overall efficacy than ferrous fumarate.
A systematic review of randomized controlled trials on the effects of ferrous bisglycinate on hemoglobin and ferritin concentration in adults and children showed increased hemoglobin concentrations and fewer gastrointestinal symptoms in pregnant women.
