Why buy Iron Bisglycinate at HSN?

Formula

The iron that is usually best absorbed is called heme iron, which is found in haemoglobin and myoglobin in red meat and animal offal.

But sometimes, for ethical restrictions or other reasons, we cannot get enough iron from these sources and have to resort to alternative formulations. One of these is food supplementation.

Many companies market low-bioavailable forms of iron because they are cheaper, reducing their effectiveness.

In our case, HSN brings you the highly bioavailable form of iron bisglycinate, a conjugation of iron with the amino acid glycine that acts as a chelator, increasing its absorption and reducing gastrointestinal discomfort.

Suitable for vegans

Can you imagine being a vegan with a low iron intake and not being able to use iron supplements? This is a reality in many cases due to the use of gelatins.

Gelatines are used to form the capsules that coat the iron in food supplements, so when they are used, they are no longer suitable for vegetarian diets.

In HSN we use a vegan alternative to gelatine capsules, a polymer called hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, similar to cellulose, which is a compound that makes plants robust.
