18mg Ferrochel® iron—absorbs great without the usual gut hassle.
NutraBio Fe Iron Chelate keeps it simple with the one thing that counts most in iron supps: the form. It skips cheap, rough salts like ferrous sulfate and gives you 18 mg of elemental iron from Ferrochel® ferrous bisglycinate chelate in a single veggie cap. That's the vibe here—not a bunch of extras, just a solid daily iron hit that's easy to absorb and gentle on your gut.
Iron is key for basics like making hemoglobin, which lets red blood cells grab and move oxygen around. It also helps myoglobin in muscles and powers energy in your cells through enzymes with iron. If you're short on iron, you'll feel it in workouts that drag, quicker tiredness, lower stamina, and that wiped-out vibe that makes everything tougher.
The 18 mg dose is a real-deal amount for daily use and upkeep. For lots of women before menopause, it matches the usual daily need, so it's a straightforward pick when you need extra iron. It's not a mega-dose for fixing big shortages—that's doctor stuff. NutraBio went with a smart amount in a top form instead of stuffing the cap.
The star is Ferrochel®, Albion’s chelated iron bound to glycine. This setup makes it behave better in your gut and boosts tolerance over basic forms. Studies on people show ferrous bis

Who Is This For?

- Endurance folks like runners or cyclists where training ups the need for iron to handle oxygen and stamina. Since iron's big for hemoglobin and myoglobin, this is a simple daily add over complex stacks.
- Lifters in intense phases who get that capacity and recovery go beyond stims. If boosting red blood cells and oxygen is in play, 18 mg bioavailable iron is a smart base move.
- Veg eaters or those low on meat iron. Ferrous bisglycinate chelate shines here 'cause studies show it's less blocked by phytates than basic irons.
- People who've bailed on regular irons due to gut issues wanting something gentler. Ferrochel® has real studies on better stomach tolerance, fitting long-term use.

How to Use
Take 1 cap daily with food unless your doc says otherwise. Food often makes it comfier, key for keeping at it even if some minerals like fancy timing. Ferrochel® ferrous bisglycinate chelate gives it an edge on absorption over basics, so it's solid for daily. Space from calcium, mag, zinc, thyroid meds, or some antibiotics by hours 'cause iron can block both ways. For extra boost, pair with vitamin C food or supp. No cycling needed; iron works best consistent when you need it. Store cool and dry, away from kids—iron stuff needs care. Don't add to other iron multis or prenatals without checking total intake.
What to Expect
First 0-30 minutes: no buzz or rush, and hopefully no gut fuss with food. That's normal—iron's a base mineral, not a quick hitter. Days 1-7: you'll notice it's easy to keep taking, unlike rough irons when Ferrochel® sits well. Weeks 2-4: steady use backs red blood cell making and oxygen flow. If iron was low, this is when it starts counting. It's about ongoing support, not instant feels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much iron is in each capsule of NutraBio Fe Iron Chelate?
Each vegetarian capsule provides 18 mg of elemental iron from Ferrochel® ferrous bisglycinate chelate. That is a meaningful standalone iron dose for daily support and far more informative than labels that simply say “iron” without clarifying the form.
Why does the Ferrochel® form matter?
Ferrochel® is ferrous bisglycinate chelate, a premium form of iron chelated to glycine. Human research shows this form is well absorbed, less affected by dietary inhibitors like phytates than ferrous sulfate, and generally better tolerated from a gastrointestinal standpoint.
Will I feel this working right away?
No acute “kick” is expected because this is iron, not caffeine or a pre-workout. The benefit is support for iron intake, red blood cell production, and oxygen transport over consistent daily use rather than a same-day stimulant sensation.
Is 18 mg a high dose of iron?
It is a meaningful daily support dose, especially for populations with higher routine iron needs, but it is not an aggressive therapeutic repletion protocol. People treating diagnosed iron deficiency often use different dosing strategies under medical supervision.
Should I take NutraBio Fe Iron Chelate with food?
Yes, taking 1 capsule with a meal is a practical approach and commonly recommended for comfort. Even though Ferrochel® is a highly bioavailable form, taking iron with food often improves adherence by reducing stomach discomfort in sensitive users.
Can I take this with coffee, calcium, magnesium, or zinc?
It is better to separate iron from coffee and from minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc when possible because they can reduce absorption. If you want the cleanest setup, take this with a meal at a different time than those competing compounds.
Can I stack this with vitamin C, folate, or B12?
Yes. Vitamin C can further support iron uptake, and folate plus vitamin B12 are logical partners because all three nutrients play important roles in healthy red blood cell production.
Is this good for athletes?
It can be, especially for endurance athletes, high-volume trainees, or active women whose iron intake matters for oxygen transport and work capacity. It is not an acute performance booster, but it supports physiology that underpins aerobic output and fatigue resistance.
Does this product contain a proprietary blend?
No. This is a fully transparent single-ingredient formula: 18 mg of iron as Ferrochel® ferrous bisglycinate chelate, clearly disclosed on the label.
Who should avoid taking this product?
Anyone with iron overload conditions such as hemochromatosis, anyone already getting substantial iron from other supplements, and anyone using medications affected by iron absorption timing should use caution or consult a healthcare professional first. Iron is one of the minerals where more is not automatically better.
