Ijzer Bisglycinaat 70 mg
What this formula is designed for
This product is a focused iron supplement providing iron as iron bisglycinate. It is intended to help support daily iron intake when dietary supply may be insufficient. The formula keeps the ingredient list short, using a vegetable capsule and a simple filler.
Primary focus: iron status support
Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. The serving provides 14 mg of elemental iron, derived from 70 mg of iron bisglycinate (20% iron). This makes it suitable for people looking for a clearly quantified iron intake in a single-ingredient style product.
Energy metabolism and everyday vitality
Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue when intake is adequate. Because iron needs can vary with diet and life stage, a measured daily dose can be useful for routine nutritional planning. The product is not positioned as a stimulant; it supports normal physiology through nutrient provision.
Why bisglycinate form is used
Iron bisglycinate is a chelated form where iron is bound to glycine. Chelated forms are commonly used in supplements for their typical absorption characteristics and practical tolerability for many users. This can be helpful for those who prefer an iron format that is often considered gentler than some traditional salts.
Simple delivery system
The capsule is made from HPMC (a vegetable capsule material). Rice flour is included as a filler to support consistent capsule filling and dosing. These ingredients do not add nutritional activity but help deliver the iron in a convenient format.
How to integrate it
Iron is best considered within the context of overall diet, including iron-rich foods and factors that influence iron intake. Some people choose to separate iron from coffee/tea or high-calcium supplements to avoid reduced uptake. If you are unsure whether you need iron, checking dietary intake and seeking professional guidance can help tailor use.

Allergens:
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Hemochromatosis or iron overload disorders – High Risk | Supplemental iron may worsen excessive iron accumulation in people with iron storage disorders. |
| Repeated blood transfusions – High Risk | Additional iron intake may be inappropriate when iron load is already elevated due to transfusions. |
| Unexplained high ferritin or suspected iron overload – High Risk | Iron supplementation should be avoided until iron status is assessed by a clinician. |
| Active peptic ulcer or significant gastrointestinal inflammation – Medium Risk | Oral iron can irritate the gastrointestinal tract and may worsen discomfort in sensitive individuals. |
| History of severe constipation – Medium Risk | Iron supplements can contribute to constipation in some users. |
| Children – High Risk | Accidental iron ingestion can be dangerous for children; dosing should be medically supervised. |
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Gastrointestinal discomfort – Medium Risk | Iron may cause stomach upset, nausea, or abdominal discomfort, especially if taken on an empty stomach. |
| Constipation – Medium Risk | Iron supplementation can slow bowel movements in some individuals. |

| Diarrhea – Low Risk | Some users experience looser stools depending on individual tolerance. |
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Levothyroxine – High Risk | Iron can reduce absorption of thyroid hormone medication and should be separated by several hours. |
| Tetracycline antibiotics – High Risk | Iron can bind these antibiotics and reduce their absorption; separate dosing is typically required. |
| Quinolone antibiotics – High Risk | Iron can reduce absorption of quinolones; spacing doses helps minimize interaction. |
| Bisphosphonates – Medium Risk | Iron may reduce absorption of bisphosphonates if taken together; separate administration is commonly advised. |
| Antacids or acid-reducing agents – Medium Risk | Reduced stomach acidity can lower iron absorption, potentially decreasing the intended nutrient contribution. |
| Calcium supplements – Medium Risk | Calcium can compete with iron absorption when taken at the same time. |

Voordelen
Iron Deficiency
Provides iron in a chelated bisglycinate form to help support daily iron intake when dietary iron is low. Elemental iron (14 mg) contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, supporting everyday vitality needs. The bisglycinate form is commonly chosen for its generally good gastrointestinal tolerance profile compared with some other iron forms.
Energy Metabolism
Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue when intake is adequate. This formula supplies elemental iron from iron bisglycinate, which can be useful during periods of higher nutritional demand. It is intended for general wellness support rather than immediate stimulation.
Circulatory Support
Iron supports normal oxygen transport in the body through its role in haemoglobin. By providing elemental iron (14 mg) in a bisglycinate chelate, the product can be used as part of a routine aimed at maintaining normal blood parameters within a balanced diet. This is a supportive, nutrition-focused use rather than a performance claim.
Women's Health
Women with higher iron needs (for example due to monthly losses) may use iron bisglycinate to help meet daily intake targets. The chelated form is often selected for routine supplementation, while rice flour and the HPMC capsule serve as carriers and delivery format. Individual needs can vary, so intake is best aligned with diet and professional advice.
Overall Health
Iron is an essential mineral involved in multiple normal physiological functions, including cell division and cognitive function. This single-mineral formula focuses on providing a defined amount of elemental iron with minimal additional actives. It can fit into a broader wellness plan alongside a varied diet.
