Iron Ferrochel®: a premium way to care for your iron intake
Iron bisglycinate Ferrochel® (30 mg iron) from EssentialSeries is a plant-based dietary supplement in capsules made with Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate chelated by Albion® Minerals.
We’ve developed it for those seeking a clear, concentrated, high-quality iron product: no complex formula, no added nutrients, and with a brand-name raw material that stands out against more generic options.
a smart way to supplement your iron intake: 30 mg of elemental iron per capsule, raw material Ferrochel® and a direct, clean-label formula suitable for vegan diets.
What makes it different from other irons
The main differentiating factor of this product is the form of iron. Ferrochel® is an iron bisglycinate chelate, meaning the iron is bound to glycine molecules. This structure allows the mineral to be presented in a more careful way than traditional iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, or ferrous fumarate.
At HSN we bet on Ferrochel® because we’re not just talking about “chelated iron,” but a branded raw material that is identifiable and recognized in the mineral market. For a consumer comparing iron forms, seeking quality, and wanting to avoid complex, unclear formulas, this detail is key to ensuring quality and transparency at first glance.
Besides, its concentration is very versatile: each capsule provides 30 mg of elemental iron exclusively from iron bisglycinate. This makes it easy to fit the product into a routine without resorting to complex combinations or needing to use multiple iron sources within the same formula.
Ferrochel® from Albion® Minerals: raw material quality
Ferrochel® and Albion® Minerals are trademarks of Balchem Corporation or its subsidiaries. This point is key since Ferrochel& reg; is a branded chelated iron, not a generic raw material.
The chelation technology is based on binding the mineral to amino acids, in this case glycine, to obtain a stable, well-defined structure designed to improve user experience and make daily routines more convenient.

A clean, direct formula in plant-based capsules
This dietary supplement keeps a simple composition. Nothing more than what’s needed to offer a product focused on its main objective: provide Ferrochel® iron in a high, easy-to-use concentration.
The plant-based capsule format also enhances daily practicality. It has no metallic taste, no mixing required, no staining, and is easy to carry. For a mineral like iron, where other formats can be less convenient, capsules are a simple and very practical option.
Plus, it fits a clean-label profile: vegan and vegetarian friendly, without artificial colorings, without preservatives, non-GMO, and free from allergens.
Who is it for
Iron Ferrochel® (30 mg iron) fits especially well for people looking for a specific, premium iron supplement without added ingredients. It’s a good option for those who prefer to control which mineral they’re adding to their routine and in what form.
It can also be interesting for people on vegan diets, as it comes in plant-based capsules and contains no animal-origin ingredients. When you follow a vegan diet it’s common to pay more attention to iron intake and look for practical alternatives that fit your lifestyle.
Because of its concentration, the formula is designed for users seeking a high iron intake. For people who simply want to supplement their diet with a small amount of iron, the ideal option is a multivitamin–multimineral that contains it.
How to fit it into your routine
The best way to include this product is to do it simply and consistently, always following the usage instructions on the package. Being a single-nutrient formula, it’s easy to add to an already established routine without introducing a wide combination of vitamins or minerals.
If you already use other iron-containing products, such as multivitamins or complete formulas, review the overall composition to avoid accumulating large amounts of iron unnecessarily. It’s recommended to combine iron with vitamin C or foods rich in vitamin C.
Recommended combinations
This product can be conveniently paired with other dietary supplements depending on the type of routine you want to build:
¿Ferrochel® 30mg or Iron Bisglycinate 20mg?
If you’re after a simpler option, Iron Bisglycinate (20 mg iron) could fit very well. If you want a more premium alternative, with higher per-capsule concentration and Ferrochel® raw material from Albion® Minerals, this product is the most differentiating choice.
The idea is simple: Ferrochel® 30 mg is aimed at those who want iron with a branded raw material, high concentration, and a clean-label mononutrient formula.
Frequently asked questions
¿What does it mean that the iron is bisglycinate chelated?
It means the iron is bound to glycine molecules, an amino acid. This binding forms a chelated structure, a presentation different from traditional iron salts and highly valued in mineral supplements.
¿What does Ferrochel® offer versus generic chelated iron?
Ferrochel® is a branded raw material from Albion® Minerals. This allows better identification of the ingredient source and differentiation from other chelated irons without a registered brand.
¿Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. It’s a dietary supplement suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets, produced in plant-based capsules and free from animal-origin ingredients.
¿Does it have a metallic taste?
No. Since it comes in plant-based capsules, the metallic taste that can appear with other iron formats like liquids, syrups, or powders is avoided.
¿Can I combine it with a multivitamin?
Depends on the formula. If the multivitamin already contains iron, it’s better to check the total composition to avoid duplicated iron. If you’re looking for a multivitamin base without adding more iron, Daily Two without Iron or Iodine can be a more practical option.
¿Is it a product for everyone?
It’s intended for those looking to supplement iron specifically and who want a high-quality concentration.
