Formula overview
Plant-based eaters and menstruating women are the people most likely to run low on iron, yet many iron supplements rely on beef liver or leucine fillers. Terra Ferro is iron bisglycinate chelate and vitamin C, nothing else.
Iron bisglycinate has iron bound to two glycine molecules, a form that is gentle on the stomach. Vitamin C is included to support absorption.
One vegetable capsule a day with a small meal or juice.
What it does
Supports healthy iron levels*
25 mg of iron as bisglycinate, an amino-acid chelate designed for absorption.
Gentle on the stomach*
Iron bisglycinate is well tolerated and usually easier on digestion than ferrous sulfate.
Supports energy and red blood cell formation*
Iron is part of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen. Vitamin C helps the body absorb plant iron.
How it works
Iron bound to glycine travels through the gut as an intact chelate, so it competes less with other minerals and is easier on the stomach. Vitamin C converts non-heme iron to a form the intestine absorbs more readily. Iron is a core part of hemoglobin and supports oxygen transport and energy production.*
Who it's for
Vegans, vegetarians, women and frequent exercisers who want a gentle, beef-free iron.
