Iron supplements can be irritating to the digestive tract, so the correct choice of an iron supplement is important for both absorption and gastrointestinal tolerance.
Kirkman uses a form of iron from Albion Laboratories, Inc., called ferrous bis-glycinate chelate (Ferrochel), which has been tested for both safety and absorbability in animals, adults and children. Tests results indicate that ferrous bis-glycinate chelate offers a safe, absorbable form of iron that, when compared to ferrous sulfate – a widely used form of iron in supplements, offers advantages in tolerability and bioavailability
