**Iron** at 25mg per capsule, delivered in a gentle, well-absorbed bisglycinate form — landing in the 15–45mg range clinical work uses to maintain levels and correct deficiency. This bisglycinate chelate (Ferrochel) absorbs far more readily than standard iron salts and is much easier on your gut, with far less of the constipation and nausea that make iron pills miserable.
To get the most from it, take the capsule with a meal plus a source of vitamin C, and keep it away from coffee, tea, and calcium, which all blunt absorption.
One caveat matters more than the dose: iron is the one mineral you shouldn't take just in case. Only supplement if you're genuinely low — menstruating women, pregnancy, or a diagnosed deficiency — because excess iron builds up and turns harmful. And since iron is a leading cause of poisoning in young children, keep it well out of their reach.

How to Take It
Best taken in the morning
Bisglycinate is the gentle form — most people tolerate it on an empty stomach, which is exactly 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
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement for adults, take one (1) vegetable capsule daily, preferably with a meal or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
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.
