Product Overview
Solgar Chelated Iron Tablets provide iron in a chelated form — specifically iron bis-glycinate — where the mineral is bound to the amino acid glycine to form a stable, highly bioavailable complex. Chelated minerals are designed for superior intestinal absorption compared to inorganic iron salts such as ferrous sulphate, and are associated with reduced gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, constipation, and stomach discomfort, which are common complaints with standard iron supplements. Iron is an essential trace mineral that is a core component of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. Adequate iron intake is necessary to prevent iron-deficiency anaemia and to support normal energy metabolism. Each tablet delivers a well-tolerated dose of elemental iron in its chelated form. Iron also contributes to normal cognitive function, immune system activity, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Solgar Chelated Iron is particularly suitable for women of reproductive age, vegetarians, and others who may have higher iron requirements or limited dietary intake.
Product Description

• Supports normal haemoglobin formation and the transport of oxygen throughout the body via red blood cells
• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, particularly in those with low iron stores
• Supports normal cognitive function, including concentration and memory
• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system, maintaining natural resistance to infection
• Gentle on the digestive system, making it a preferred option for those who have experienced side effects with other iron supplements
## How to Use
For adults, take one tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Taking iron with vitamin C (either in supplement form or through foods such as citrus juice) may enhance absorption of non-haem iron. Avoid taking iron at the same time as calcium, dairy products, or antacids, as these can reduce iron absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake without medical advice.
## Ideal For
Solgar Chelated Iron is ideal for adults with increased iron requirements, including women of reproductive age who experience iron losses through menstruation, vegetarians and vegans who rely on non-haem dietary iron sources, pregnant women (under medical supervision), and individuals recovering from illness or surgery. Those who have previously experienced digestive discomfort with iron supplements may find chelated iron a more tolerable option.
