What the research says about ferrous bisglycinate chelate and iron supplementation
Peer-reviewed studies and reviews on ferrous bisglycinate chelate and iron supplementation more broadly - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. CanPrev Iron Bis-Glycinate 25's claims are the statements authorized under its Natural Health Product licence, NPN 80078515.
Ferrous bisglycinate chelate showed far higher bioavailability than ferrous sulfate in infants
A randomized trial in infants and young children with iron deficiency anemia calculated apparent iron bioavailability at 90.9% for ferrous bis-glycinate chelate versus 26.7% for ferrous sulfate, with only the chelate group showing a significant rise in plasma ferritin.
Human RCTFerritin gains from bisglycinate chelate persisted 6 months later in schoolchildren
A randomized trial in Mexican schoolchildren with low iron stores found daily supplementation with either iron bis-glycinate chelate or ferrous sulfate raised ferritin after 12 weeks, and the bis-glycinate group had higher ferritin levels when re-checked 6 months after supplementation ended.
Human RCTWeekly bis-glycinate-enriched cookies raised hemoglobin in anemic schoolchildren
A community-based trial in Brazilian schoolchildren compared weekly ferrous sulfate to iron bis-glycinate chelate-enriched cookies over 8 weeks; both approaches produced significant hemoglobin increases, with no significant difference between them.
Human RCTLower-dose bisglycinate caused fewer GI side effects than high-dose ferrous sulfate
A trial in women of reproductive age with iron deficiency found those taking iron bisglycinate (30 mg elemental iron) had markedly fewer treatment-limiting GI side effects - nausea, constipation and abdominal pain - than those taking a higher dose of ferrous sulfate (80 mg elemental iron), improving completion of the 90-day course.
Human RCTSimilar efficacy with a lower-toxicity trend versus ferrous sulfate in cancer patients
A randomized trial in cancer patients with mild iron deficiency anemia found oral ferrous bisglycinate chelate produced hemoglobin and ferritin improvements similar to ferrous sulfate, with adverse events occurring in 17% of the bisglycinate group versus 33% of the ferrous sulfate group.
Human RCTMeta-analysis found fewer GI adverse events with bisglycinate in pregnant women
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 randomized trials found ferrous bisglycinate supplementation was associated with significantly fewer gastrointestinal adverse events than other iron supplements in pregnant women, alongside higher hemoglobin concentrations.
Meta-analysisBisglycinate chelate raised ferritin more than polymaltose iron in anemic children
A pilot randomized trial in children aged 1 to 13 with iron deficiency anemia found both iron bisglycinate chelate and polymaltose iron improved hemoglobin, but only the bisglycinate chelate group showed a significant rise in ferritin, suggesting greater replenishment of iron stores.
Human RCTA lower dose of bisglycinate did not match ferrous sulfate's ferritin gains in a non-inferiority trial
A randomized non-inferiority trial in largely iron-replete Cambodian women found 18 mg of ferrous bisglycinate was not as effective as 60 mg of ferrous sulfate at raising ferritin over 12 weeks, though neither iron form worsened markers of gut inflammation or enteropathogen levels - an honest result included here rather than a selectively favorable one.
Human RCTBisglycinate improved tolerability in a pediatric review of iron therapies
A narrative review of pediatric iron deficiency treatment describes ferrous bisglycinate, alongside newer formulations like ferric polymaltose and co-processed bisglycinate-alginate, as showing improved tolerability and palatability with hematologic outcomes comparable to standard ferrous salts, particularly in children with prior intolerance.
ReviewAmino acid chelation is one of several proven strategies to boost iron absorption
A SUSTAIN Task Force review of strategies for enhancing fortification-iron absorption identifies amino acid chelates such as ferrous bisglycinate, alongside ascorbic acid and NaFeEDTA, as approaches that measurably improve iron bioavailability, noting amino acid chelates may be especially useful in milk-based products and beverages.
ReviewIn vitro digestion testing places bisglycinate among the better-absorbed iron compounds
An in vitro digestion-dialysis study fortifying corn-based gruel with different iron compounds found ferrous bisglycinate performed comparably to ferrous sulfate and ferric ammonium citrate, while NaFeEDTA showed the highest dialyzability of the compounds tested - an honest comparison, not a selectively favorable one.
In vitro studyCasein phosphopeptides can further boost ferrous bisglycinate's digestive bioaccessibility
A structural study found that binding ferrous bisglycinate to casein phosphopeptides increased its in vitro bioaccessibility by nearly 69%, formed a more stable complex structure, and helped the iron compete more effectively against common absorption inhibitors like phytic acid.
Laboratory studyIron deficiency anemia still burdens millions of women of childbearing age worldwide
A Global Burden of Disease analysis found that while the age-standardized prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among women of childbearing age has gradually declined since 1990, the absolute number of disability-adjusted life years lost rose from 18 to nearly 23 million by 2021, with slower progress in lower-resource regions.
Epidemiological analysisHeavy menstrual bleeding is an under-addressed cause of iron deficiency anemia
A scoping review found heavy menstrual bleeding affects 4% to 63% of women globally depending on the population studied, and is significantly associated with iron deficiency anemia, noting iron supplementation as one available management approach alongside hormonal treatment.
Scoping reviewCost-utility analysis compared IV and oral iron for anemia in pregnancy
A cost-utility analysis based on a Nigerian clinical trial found intravenous iron was more effective than standard oral ferrous sulfate at treating moderate-to-severe iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy, incurring fewer disability-adjusted life years despite a higher up-front cost - context for how oral iron forms compare against other treatment options.
Cost-utility analysisIron 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, anxiety and short-term memory, with effects concentrated in those who were iron deficient rather than iron-replete.
Meta-analysisIron deficiency measurably reduces endurance performance in female athletes
A systematic review of 23 studies in high-level female athletes found iron deficiency reduced endurance performance by 3-4%, while supplementing with around 100 mg of elemental iron daily improved endurance by 2-20% in iron-deficient athletes.
Systematic reviewIron deficiency anemia is linked to poorer sleep, and iron therapy may help
A narrative review found iron deficiency anemia is consistently associated with lower sleep quality, shorter sleep duration and more restless legs syndrome, and that oral or intravenous iron supplementation significantly reduced restless legs symptoms and sleep disturbances across most trials reviewed.
ReviewWell-planned plant-based diets do not automatically mean higher anemia risk
A review of iron metabolism on vegetarian and vegan diets found that although plant-based (non-heme) iron is less bioavailable, vegetarians and vegans often consume more total dietary iron than omnivores and may show adaptive increases in absorption efficiency - challenging the assumption that plant-based eating necessarily raises anemia risk.
ReviewVegetarian and vegan athletes are not consistently more iron deficient than omnivores
A narrative review of iron deficiency in vegetarian athletes found current evidence does not consistently show a higher prevalence of iron deficiency compared with omnivorous athletes, crediting adaptive mechanisms like enhanced absorption efficiency, though individualized dietary planning is still recommended.
ReviewA cross-sectional study found vegans had fewer iron intake shortfalls than omnivores
A cross-sectional study comparing vegans, lacto-ovo-vegetarians, Orthodox fasters and omnivores in Russia found the omnivore group had the largest list of nutrient inadequacies, including insufficient iron intake, more often than any of the plant-based groups studied.
Cross-sectional studyIron poisoning was linked to about a fifth of pediatric poisoning ICU admissions
A retrospective study of a pediatric emergency service over 5 years found iron accounted for 7% of accidental poisoning cases, with most affected children requiring intensive care; presence of shock or acute liver failure predicted the small number of deaths recorded.
Retrospective studyChildren were poisoned by their pregnant mothers' 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.
Case seriesSevere iron overdose can cause liver failure requiring transplantation
A case report describes an adult iron tablet overdose that progressed to fulminant hepatic failure despite treatment, ultimately requiring liver transplantation - illustrating how severe untreated iron toxicity can become, the same underlying toxicity that makes accidental childhood ingestion dangerous.
