The Solgar Gentle Iron 20mg is a dietary supplement containing iron in the form of bisglycinate iron, a chelated form generally well-tolerated by the digestive system. The packaging contains 180 vegan capsules.
It is intended for adults who wish to meet their iron intake through a dietary supplement.
Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, to the normal transport of oxygen in the body, to the normal energy metabolism, to the normal cognitive function, to the normal function of the immune system, and to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. It also plays a role in the process of cell division.
The chelated form of bisglycinate iron (iron bound to amino acids) is generally considered gentler on the digestive system compared to inorganic forms of iron, with a lower likelihood of constipation or stomach discomfort. It does not necessarily require simultaneous intake of vitamin C for absorption.
It is suitable for adults who want to meet their iron intake as part of a balanced diet. The product is not intended for the prevention, treatment, or therapy of iron-deficiency anemia or any other diagnosed medical condition, and it does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Anyone experiencing symptoms of anemia should consult a doctor for diagnosis, as iron deficiency is assessed through a blood test.
