Each iron particle is strongly bound (chelated) to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. The general term for such a compound is amino acid chelate or amino acid chelated mineral. The word 'chelate' comes from Greek and means 'claw'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis form of connection was chosen because it is gentle on the stomach (which is not the case for most iron compounds) and because its bioavailability is particularly good. Additionally, the formula is supplemented with vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid to further enhance iron absorption. The iron bisglycinate in this product is branded as Ferrochel® and comes from Albion Minerals, the specialist in amino acid-bound minerals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlbion Minerals\u003cbr\u003eVitals exclusively uses true amino acid chelates from Albion Minerals, identifiable by the trademark TRAACS®, which stands for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. This brand was created to clearly distinguish from other, potentially inferior, unstable amino acid chelates. Albion has secured over 100 patents worldwide that guarantee the process, science, and structure of their amino acid chelated minerals. Additionally, research is conducted with their minerals, and quality checks are performed on every batch produced. It is essential to verify that chelation has indeed occurred and that the bonds are strong enough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBenefits of amino acid chelated minerals\u003cbr\u003eThe chelate structure in an amino acid chelate is strong enough not to be split under the influence of gastric juice or digestive enzymes (as typically happens with other mineral compounds), but also weak enough for the mineral element to be released once it is absorbed by the cells in the intestine. The amino acids wrap around the mineral element and protect it during the digestive process without letting go. The electrical charge of the chelate is neutral, preventing it from binding to food particles in the stomach and intestines. Thus, the amino acid chelate reaches the small intestine intact, where it is absorbed as a dipeptide (a compound with two amino acids). This is highly beneficial because the body can absorb amino acids (and especially dipeptides) very easily. Especially when they consist of the smallest amino acid, namely glycine. As a result, amino acid chelated minerals are significantly better absorbed than other mineral forms. In the epithelial tissue of the jejunum (the middle part of the small intestine), the amino acid chelated mineral is transported into the mucosal cells via active transport without competing with other minerals. Only in the mucosal cells do metabolic processes ensure that glycine and the mineral are split and made available to various organs and systems in the body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eComposition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:450px\"\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per daily dosage of 1 capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e% RI*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eIron (bisglycinate, Ferrochel®)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e25 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e179%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eVitamin C (ascorbic acid)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e200 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e250%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e*RI = Reference Intake\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\tFerrochel® is a patented amino acid chelate from Albion Minerals.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRice flour (Oryza sativa), ascorbic acid, iron bisglycinate, vegetable capsule (pullulan, from fermented starch), anti-caking agent (calcium salts of fatty acids).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake 1 capsule per day between meals with plenty of water or as advised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKidney patients should not take more than 200 mg of vitamin C per day due to the risk of hyperoxalemia (a high concentration of oxalic acid in the blood).\u003cbr\u003eA high intake of iron by young children can be toxic.\u003cbr\u003eIf multiple capsules are swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage instructions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore dry, closed, and at room temperature.\u003cbr\u003ePreferably use within 4 months after opening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer \/ Distributor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVitals Nutritional Supplements, \nReply number 894, \n1500 VB Zaandam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis product is a dietary supplement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDo not exceed the recommended dosage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
