What the research says about iron bis-glycinate and its cofactor nutrients
Peer-reviewed studies and reviews on chelated iron bis-glycinate, vitamin C, B6, B12 and folate - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. CanPrev Iron Bis-Glycinate 20 Liquid's claims are the statements authorized under its Natural Health Product licence, NPN 80095153.
Ferrous bisglycinate showed higher relative bioavailability than ferrous sulfate
A stable-isotope study in women found iron absorption from ferrous bisglycinate was significantly higher than from ferrous sulfate when both were added to a rice meal, supporting the chelate's improved bioavailability.
Human studyChelation with glycine may shield iron from dietary inhibitors
A review of iron chelate technology describes how binding iron to two glycine molecules (bis-glycinate) can protect it from being bound by dietary inhibitors such as phytates, potentially preserving absorption compared with non-chelated iron salts.
ReviewFerrous bisglycinate effectively repleted iron stores in a controlled trial
A randomized trial in iron-deficient women found ferrous bisglycinate supplementation significantly increased serum ferritin and hemoglobin over 12 weeks, comparable to conventional ferrous sulfate.
Human RCTFerrous bisglycinate linked to fewer GI side effects than ferrous sulfate
A randomized comparative trial in pregnant women found ferrous bisglycinate produced significantly fewer gastrointestinal side effects (including less nausea and constipation) than ferrous sulfate, while achieving similar improvements in hemoglobin.
Human RCTA Cochrane review confirms iron supplementation's GI trade-off
A Cochrane review of daily iron supplementation in menstruating women found it effectively reduced anemia but was linked to an increased prevalence of gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea and constipation compared with control.
Cochrane reviewLiquid iron formulations reported as better tolerated in children
A randomized trial in children with iron deficiency anemia found a liposomal liquid iron formulation had better oral tolerance and fewer reports of constipation than a standard iron salt, though the standard salt produced a greater hemoglobin rise over one month.
Human RCTIron deficiency anemia remains common among reproductive-age women
A global burden-of-disease analysis found iron deficiency anemia disproportionately affects women of reproductive age, driven by menstrual blood loss, and identifies it as a leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide.
Epidemiological analysisDaily iron supplementation reduced anemia in menstruating women
A Cochrane systematic review of trials in menstruating women found daily oral iron supplementation significantly reduced the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency compared with placebo or no treatment.
Cochrane reviewHeavy menstrual bleeding strongly associated with iron deficiency
A systematic review found women with heavy menstrual bleeding had a significantly higher prevalence of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia than women with normal menstrual flow, underscoring the elevated iron needs in this population.
Systematic reviewA vitamin C-rich fruit roughly doubled non-heme iron absorption
A human isotope study in adolescents found adding guava, rich in vitamin C, to a rice-based meal significantly increased non-heme iron absorption compared with the same meal without guava.
Human studyVitamin C fuels the enzyme that prepares non-heme iron for uptake
A review of iron metabolism describes how intestinal ascorbate (vitamin C) supplies electrons to the enzyme duodenal cytochrome b, which reduces non-heme dietary iron to the ferrous form required for uptake by intestinal iron transporters.
ReviewVitamin C enhances iron bioavailability by changing its chemical form
A review of anemia and micronutrients notes that vitamin C enhances iron bioavailability by reducing ferric iron to the more absorbable ferrous form, and that conditions which lower gastric vitamin C can in turn impair iron absorption.
ReviewFolate becomes fixed in red blood cells during their production
A laboratory review of folate status explains that folate is incorporated into red blood cells during their production, and that detecting and correcting folate deficiency prevents megaloblastic anemia.
ReviewVitamin B12 or folate deficiency is the leading cause of megaloblastic anemia
A review of megaloblastic anemia diagnosis identifies vitamin B12 or folate deficiency as the most frequent underlying causes, with serum B12, serum folate and red cell folate assays as the primary diagnostic investigations.
Review5-methyltetrahydrofolate's role in the body's methylation cycle
A laboratory-medicine review explains that 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the main folate form found in blood, is required for the vitamin B12-dependent enzyme methionine synthase to convert homocysteine back to methionine.
ReviewIron supplementation eased fatigue even without anemia
A meta-analysis of randomized trials and pre-post studies found iron supplementation in non-anemic children, adolescents and menstruating adults improved fatigue, physical well-being and short-term memory, with effects concentrated in those who were iron deficient.
Meta-analysisIron therapy reduced fatigue in non-anemic, iron-deficient women
A randomized placebo-controlled trial in premenopausal women with unexplained fatigue and low ferritin (but no anemia) found oral iron supplementation significantly reduced fatigue scores after 12 weeks compared with placebo.
Human RCTSupporting adherence to iron therapy improved energy scores
A randomized trial in adults with iron deficiency anemia found a nurse-led education program to support treatment adherence was associated with significantly lower fatigue scores and higher energy scores after treatment compared with a control group.
Human RCTCochrane review: iron plus folic acid supports maternal and infant outcomes
A Cochrane systematic review of 57 trials in nearly 49,000 women found daily oral iron plus folic acid supplementation during pregnancy probably reduces maternal anemia at term and is linked to higher infant birthweight compared with placebo.
Meta-analysisHigher-dose methylcobalamin improved maternal B12 status and infant development
In the MATCOBIND randomized trial of 531 vegetarian mothers, daily supplementation with 250 mcg of methylcobalamin during pregnancy and post-partum produced a significantly larger rise in maternal vitamin B12 levels and higher infant mental development scores than a lower dose.
Human RCTPericonceptional folic acid linked to an 80% drop in neural tube defects
A review of folic acid supplementation policy reports that randomized trials have shown periconceptional folic acid supplementation reduces the incidence of neural tube defects by nearly 80%.
ReviewIron caused over 30% of accidental poisoning deaths in children
An evidence-based consensus guideline notes that from 1983 to 1991, iron caused over 30% of deaths from accidental ingestion of drug products by children, and sets clear thresholds for when a child who has swallowed iron needs urgent medical care.
Consensus guidelineResearchers identified the toxic dose threshold for children
A study of 83 Turkish children with accidental and intentional iron poisoning determined that ingesting as little as 28mg of elemental iron per kilogram of body weight was enough to trigger serious toxicity requiring treatment.
Retrospective studyChildren were poisoned by their mothers' own iron supplements
A case series of five children hospitalized after accidental iron poisoning found all had ingested iron tablets belonging to their pregnant mothers, and two developed fulminant hepatic failure and died despite treatment - underscoring why iron supplements must be kept out of children's reach.
