Efficacy
Ferrous bisglycinate is a chelate that is used as a source of dietary iron. It is found in foods for food enrichment or in supplements for the treatment of iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia.
Description
Biglycinate ferrous is a chelated form of iron, made from iron bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Minerals need to be bonded to a carrier substance so we can ingest them as supplements. Glycine is a good choice as a carrier molecule because your body recognises it easily and absorbs the attached iron.
Side effects
Biglycinate ferrous's side effects are as follows: heartburn, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
