Iron Ferrochel®: a premium way to support your iron intake
Iron Bisglycinate Ferrochel® (30mg Iron) from EssentialSeries is a vegetarian capsule dietary supplement made with Ferrochel® chelated ferrous bisglycinate from Albion® Minerals.
We’ve developed it for those looking for a clear, concentrated, quality iron product: no complex formula, no added nutrients, and with a brand-name raw material that makes a difference versus more generic options.
A smart way to complement your iron intake: 30 mg of elemental iron per capsule, Ferrochel® raw material, 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 a chelated ferrous bisglycinate, meaning iron bound to glycine molecules. This structure allows the mineral to be presented in a more gentle way than traditional iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, or ferrous fumarate.
At HSN we choose Ferrochel® because we’re not just talking about “chelated iron,” but about a brand-name raw material, 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 guaranteeing quality and transparency at first glance.
Additionally, its concentration is very versatile: each capsule provides 30 mg of elemental iron derived exclusively from ferrous bisglyinate. This allows the product to fit easily into a routine, without needing complex combinations or multiple iron sources in the same formula.
Albion® Minerals Ferrochel®: raw material quality
Ferrochel® and Albion® Minerals are brands owned by Balchem Corporation or its subsidiaries. This point is key since Ferrochel® is a chelated iron with a brand-name, not a generic raw material.
The chelation technology is based on bonding the mineral to amino acids, in this case glycine, to obtain a stable, well-defined structure designed to improve the user experience and make a more convenient routine.

A clean, direct formula in vegetarian capsules
This dietary supplement keeps a simple composition. Nothing more than what’s necessary to offer a product focused on its main goal: provide Ferrochel® iron at a high concentration and easy-to-use format.
The vegetarian capsule format also boosts everyday practicality. It has no metallic taste, no mixing required, no staining, and it travels easily. For a mineral like iron, where other formats can be less convenient, capsules are a simple and very practical option.
Also, it fits a clean-label profile: vegan and vegetarian friendly, no artificial colors, no preservatives, no GMOs, and no allergens.
Who it’s for
Iron Ferrochel® (30 mg Iron) fits especially with people looking for a specific, premium iron supplement with no added ingredients they don’t need. It’s a good option for those who prefer to control which mineral they’re incorporating into their routine and in what form.
It can also be interesting for people on vegan diets, since it’s in vegetarian capsules and contains no animal-origin ingredients. When you follow a vegan diet you tend to pay more attention to iron intake and look for practical alternatives that fit your lifestyle.
Because of its concentration, we especially recommend it for users with a clear need to supplement iron. For people who simply want a small amount of iron to ensure daily intake, the ideal approach is to use a multivitamin–multimineral that includes it.
How to integrate it into your routine
The best way to add this product is to do it simply and consistently, always following the usage instructions on the label. As a single-nutrient formula, it’s easy to incorporate into an already-established routine without adding a long list of vitamins or minerals.
If you already use other iron-containing products, such as multivitamins or complete formulas, check the overall composition to avoid accumulating too much iron unnecessarily. It’s recommended to pair 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 Bisglycinato de Hierro 20mg?
If you’re after a simpler, more basic option, Iron Bisglycinate (20 mg Iron) might fit very well. If you want a more premium alternative, with higher per-capsule concentration and Ferrochel® Albion® Minerals raw material, this product is the most differentiated choice.
The idea is clear: Ferrochel® 30 mg is designed for those who want iron with a brand-name raw material, high concentration, and a clean-label mononutrient formula.
Frequently asked questions
¿What does it mean that iron is bisglycinate chelated?
It means the iron is bound to glycine molecules, an amino acid. This binding forms a chelated structure, a more advanced presentation than traditional iron salts and highly valued in mineral dietary supplements.
¿What does Ferrochel® offer versus a generic bisglycinate?
Ferrochel® is a brand-name raw material from Albion® Minerals. This helps identify the ingredient’s source and differentiate it from other bisglycinates without a registered brand.
¿Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. It’s a vegan- and vegetarian-friendly dietary supplement, made in vegetarian capsules and with no animal-origin ingredients.
¿Does it have a metallic taste?
No. Presented in vegetarian capsules, it avoids the metallic taste that can appear in other iron formats like liquids, syrups, or powders.
¿Can I combine it with a multivitamin?
Depends on the formula. If the multivitamin already contains iron, it’s best to review the total composition to avoid duplicate amounts. 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 this a product for everyone?
It’s designed for those who want to supplement iron specifically and who seek a high-quality, concentrated option.
Why choose Ferrochel® Iron Bisglycinate from HSN
Because it brings together three clear values: high concentration, Ferrochel® Albion® Minerals raw material, and a clean-label capsule formula. It’s a straightforward option for those who don’t want a multivitamin, but a premium, direct iron that’s easy to fit into daily routine.
At HSN we’ve formulated it so you know exactly what you’re buying: elemental iron in a chelated Albion® brand form, simple composition, vegan-friendly, and a practical day-to-day format.
