ELEMENTAL IRON
By Wellness Spot
Elemental iron is the actual amount of pure iron that your body absorbs from a supplement. An iron tablet must be bound to another molecule (like a sodium) so your body can process it.
Our iron supplement contains in different ratios:
1) Ferrous Fumarate: Combines iron with fumaric acid. Small amout.
2) Ferrous Sulfate: A traditional mineral salt produced by combining iron with sulfuric acid. This type of iron is the gold standard, and most found in our supplement.
3) Ferrous Bisglycinate: An organic, chelated iron compound bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Small amount.
3) Ferrous Gluconate: A mild, highly soluble iron compound formed by bonding iron with gluconic acid. Small amount.
Iron is absorbed best when taken with warm water at least 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after. Do not take your supplement with milk, cheese, antacids, coffee, or tea, as they bind to the mineral and block your body from utilizing it.
Avoid overdosing as this causes temporary side effects like dark-coloured stools, mild nausea, cramping, or constipation. If your gut struggles with daily dosing, take it every other day.
