MST Iron Bisglycinate 120 Capsules

One MST Iron Bisglycinate capsule contains 21 milligrams of iron in the form of iron bisglycinate. It also contains 90 mg of vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption.
Recommended Use:
It is recommended to take one capsule daily with 200 ml of water. Ideally, take it in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes to one hour before a meal. To avoid interfering with iron absorption, coffee, tea, and dairy products should be avoided around the time of taking the capsule.
Important Information:
* Do not exceed the stated recommended daily intake.
* Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
* Keep out of reach of small children.
* Not suitable for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding mothers.
* Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions or under medical treatment should consult their doctor before use.

MST Iron Bisglycinate also contains vitamin C, as vitamin C significantly improves iron absorption in the body. It helps convert poorly absorbed iron, especially non-heme iron from plant sources, into a more readily usable form and protects ferrous iron from oxidation.

The product is also suitable for people with sensitive stomachs. Iron bisglycinate is considered a modern, chelated form of iron with high bioavailability and is described as extremely gentle on the stomach and well-tolerated. Compared to conventional iron salts like ferrous sulfate, iron bisglycinate causes significantly fewer unpleasant side effects such as nausea, constipation, and stomach upset. This is because the iron is bound to the amino acid glycine, which improves absorption and reduces gastrointestinal discomfort. For people with sensitive stomachs, it is recommended to take the supplement with food, even though optimal absorption would occur on an empty stomach.

The product MST Iron Bisglycinate is suitable for a vegan diet, as both the active ingredient and the capsule shell are made entirely from plant-based raw materials. The form of iron bisglycinate used here offers a significant advantage over conventional iron sulfate: considerably higher bioavailability, allowing for more efficient absorption by the body. Furthermore, iron bisglycinate is considered particularly gentle on the stomach and is characterized by excellent tolerability, thus minimizing typical side effects of iron sulfate such as nausea, stomach pain, or constipation. Because the iron in this chelate form is bound to the amino acid glycine, its absorption is also less inhibited by other food components.

For optimal absorption of MST Iron Bisglycinate, it is recommended to take the capsule in the morning on an empty stomach (about one hour before breakfast) or alternatively with a meal. To avoid inhibiting absorption, a time interval of at least one to two hours should be observed between taking the capsule and consuming coffee, tea (especially black and green tea), red wine, and calcium-rich foods such as milk and dairy products. The combination with vitamin C contained in the product further supports iron absorption.
