Iron Knight iron chelate is a potent iron supplement that is extremely well tolerated by the gastrointestinal system. Iron Knight is a premier chelate from Albion Advanced Nutrition that has a very high absorption rate.
Iron Knight is a patented iron in the form of iron bisglycinate, providing 27 mg of elemental iron (150% of RDA). Unlike common forms of supplemental iron, this form of iron carries no electrical charge, making it easier to absorb and less likely to block the absorption of other nutrients, such as vitamin E, ascorbic acid, and calcium. Because Iron Knight is a neutral, fully-reacted molecule, it does not break down in stomach acid and is delivered intact to the intestine, where it is easily absorbed. Inorganic iron supplements, such as ferrous sulfate, have low bioavailability and often produce unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea, constipation and gastric upset.
The form of iron in Iron Knight gives clinicians a better alternative.
It is safe for use by pregnant and lactating women, teenagers, and adults.
Unlike most iron preparations, it will not result in constipation or gastric upset.
