Buy Iron – Supplements with Iron Bisglycinate & Vitamin C

Iron is an essential trace element and a transition metal that is present in the body in bound form. In food supplements, it is mostly used as an organic iron compound – iron bisglycinate is particularly widespread, a chelate of iron and the amino acid glycine. In this category, you'll find iron supplements from Scheunengut with a defined iron content, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

A distinction is made between inorganic iron compounds such as iron sulphate and organic forms such as iron bisglycinate, iron gluconate or iron fumarate. In bisglycinate, the iron is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. The raw materials are specifically manufactured and adjusted to their iron content.

Standardisation & Format

What matters is the declared content of elemental iron per serving, usually stated in milligrams. Iron is available as a capsule, tablet or powder, often combined with natural vitamin C. As a trace element, iron is also a component of many combination supplements.

Häufige Fragen zu Iron

What does the body need iron for?

Iron is an essential trace element with several important functions at once. It contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, as well as to normal oxygen transport in the body. It also supports the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal function of the immune system. This makes iron one of the key minerals.

What is iron bisglycinate?

Iron bisglycinate is an organic iron compound – a chelate in which the iron is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This form is considered well tolerated and gentle on the stomach. Besides bisglycinate, there are other organic forms such as iron gluconate and iron fumarate, as well as inorganic compounds such as iron sulphate. With us, you'll mainly find well-tolerated organic forms.

Why is iron often combined with vitamin C?

Vitamin C increases iron absorption, which is why the two nutrients are often offered together – a sensible and popular combination. When buying, look for the declared elemental iron content per serving, usually stated in milligrams. Our products are lab-tested, vegan and made without unnecessary additives.

Who might benefit from an iron supplement?

Iron is particularly relevant for people with an increased need, for example on a purely plant-based diet, since plant-based iron is absorbed differently from animal-based iron. It is available as a capsule, tablet or drops. What matters is the clearly declared iron content per serving, so you can manage your supplementation precisely and transparently.
