Iron Ferrochel®: a premium way to look after your iron intake
Iron Bisglycinate Ferrochel® (30 mg Iron) from EssentialSeries is a vegetable capsule dietary supplement made with Ferrochel® chelated ferrous bisglycinate from Albion® Minerals.
We’ve developed it for those seeking a clear, concentrated, high‑quality iron product: no complex formula, no added nutrients, and with a branded raw material that makes a difference against more generic options.
A smart way to supplement your iron intake: 30 mg of elemental iron per capsule, raw material Ferrochel® and a direct, clean-label formula suitable for vegan diets.
What makes it different from other irons
The main differentiating factor of this product is the form of iron. Ferrochel® is a chelated ferrous bisglyinate, meaning iron bound to glycine molecules. This structure allows presenting the mineral in a more refined way than traditional iron salts like sulfate, gluconate, or ferrous fumarate.
At HSN we bet on Ferrochel® because we’re not just talking about “chelated iron,” but about a branded raw material, identifiable and recognized in the mineral market. For a consumer comparing iron forms, looking for quality and wanting to avoid complex and unclear formulas, this detail is key to guaranteeing quality and transparency at first glance.
Besides, its concentration is very versatile: each capsule provides 30 mg of elemental iron sourced exclusively from ferrous bisglycinate. This makes it easy to fit the product into a routine without resorting to complex combinations or needing to use multiple iron sources within the same formula.
Ferrochel® from Albion® Minerals: raw material quality
Ferrochel® and Albion® Minerals are branded products of Balchem Corporation or its subsidiaries. This is key since Ferrochel® is a branded chelated iron, not a generic raw material.
The chelation technology is based on binding the mineral to amino acids, in this case glycine, to obtain a stable, well-defined structure designed to improve the user experience and make a more convenient routine.
What the iron provides:
- The iron contributes to normal cognitive function.
- The iron contributes to normal energy metabolism.
- The iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
- The iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body.
- The iron contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
- The iron helps reduce fatigue and exhaustion.
- The iron contributes to the process of cell division.
A clean, direct formula in vegetable capsules
This dietary supplement maintains a simple composition. Nothing more than what's needed to offer a product focused on its main goal: provide Ferrochel® iron at a high concentration and easy to use.
The vegetable capsule format also improves daily practicality. It has no metallic taste, no mixing required, no staining, and it's easy to transport. For a mineral like iron, where other formats can be less convenient, capsules are a simple and very practical option.
Also, it fits a clean-label profile: vegan and vegetarian friendly, without artificial colorants, no preservatives, non-GMO and allergen-free.
Who it’s recommended for
Iron Ferrochel® Bisglycinate (30 mg Iron) fits especially well for people seeking a specific, premium iron supplement with no added ingredients. It's a good option for those who prefer to control which mineral they’re incorporating into their routine and in what form.
It may also be of interest to people who follow vegan diets, since it comes in vegetable capsules and contains no animal-derived ingredients. When you follow a vegan diet, it’s common to pay more attention to iron intake and look for practical alternatives that fit your lifestyle.
Because of its concentration, the formula is designed for users seeking a high iron intake. For those who simply want to supplement their diet with a small amount of iron, the ideal option is to use a multivitamin–multimineral that contains it.
How to integrate it into your routine
The best way to incorporate this product is to do it simply and consistently, always following the usage instructions on the packaging. As a single-nutrient formula, it’s easy to add to an already established routine without introducing an extensive combination of vitamins or minerals.
If you already use other iron-containing products, such as multivitamins or complete formulas, review the overall composition to avoid accumulating large amounts of iron unnecessarily. It’s recommended to combine iron with vitamin C or foods rich in vitamin C.
Recommended combinations
This product can be conveniently paired with other dietary supplements depending on the type of routine you want to build:
Ferrochel® 30 mg or Iron Bisglycinate 20 mg?
If you’re after a simpler option, Iron Bisglycinate (20 mg Iron) may fit very well. If you want a more premium alternative, with higher per-capsule concentration and Ferrochel® raw material from Albion® Minerals, this product is the most differentiated choice.
The idea is clear: Ferrochel® 30 mg is designed for those who want iron with a branded raw material, high concentration and a clean-label single-nutrient formula.
Frequently asked questions
¿What does it mean that the iron is bisglycinate chelated?
It means the iron is bound to glycine molecules, an amino acid. This binding forms a chelated structure, a presentation different from traditional iron salts and highly valued in mineral dietary supplements.
¿What does Ferrochel® offer versus a generic bisglycinate?
Ferrochel® is a branded raw material from Albion® Minerals. This allows better identification of the ingredient origin and differentiation from other non‑branded bisglycinates.
¿Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. It’s a vegan and vegetarian friendly dietary supplement, made in vegetable capsules and with no animal-derived ingredients.
¿Does it taste metallic?
No. Presented in vegetable capsules, it avoids the metallic taste that can appear in other iron formats like liquids, syrups, or powders.
¿Can I combine it with a multivitamin?
Depends on the formula. If the multivitamin already contains iron, it’s best to check the total composition to avoid duplicate iron. If you’re looking for a multivitamin base without adding more iron, Daily Two without Iron or Iodine can be a more practical option.
¿Is it a product for anyone?
It’s designed for those looking to supplement their iron intake specifically, and who want a high-quality concentration.
