Other Ingredients (3)
Rice FlourFiller
Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination (FDA and Consumer Reports). Rice accumulates arsenic from soil at higher rates than other grains. Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
HypromelloseCapsule
Plant-derived capsule material from cellulose
How to Take It
Best taken in the morning
Ferrochel is iron bisglycinate — the gentle form. Most people tolerate it on an empty stomach, which is where it absorbs best. Vitamin C may help absorption.
On an empty stomach
Keep it away from coffee, tea and dairy
Space it a couple of hours from Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, Manganese and Green Tea Leaf Extract
On the label
As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule, preferably with food.
Labels usually say “with food” because it's gentler on the stomach, not because it absorbs better. Fasted absorbs more — start there, and switch to a light meal if it bothers you.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
