Iron Bisglycinate
Efficacy of Iron Bisglycinate in Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia.
Ferrous bisglycinate is an iron amino acid chelate.
It is formed by the reaction of ferrous iron with two molecules of the amino acid glycine by a covalent bond in a process called chelation.
Ferrous bisglycinate is claimed to have better patient compliance because of fewer side effects on the gastrointestinal tract.
It is also claimed that ferrous Bisglycinate improves iron absorption, and storage and increases hemoglobin levels better than the conventionally used iron salts.
