Gentle Iron + Vitamin C Capsules (25mg)

Our Women's Best Gentle Iron + Vitamin C Capsules are powered by Ferrochel™, a patented iron bisglycinate known for its clinically proven high bioavailability and outstanding tolerability. Unlike conventional iron forms, iron bisglycinate binds iron to two glycine molecules, creating a highly efficient chelated form.

This unique structure makes a real difference: it helps protect the iron in your stomach from interacting with substances that normally block absorption, while also preventing irritation of the stomach lining. The result? Significantly better absorption, exceptional digestive comfort, and the effective rebuilding of your iron stores, all without the typical digestive discomfort associated with standard iron supplements.

Iron deficiency develops gradually and often goes unnoticed until it becomes more severe. Early warning signs include persistent tiredness and fatigue, even after getting enough sleep. As your iron levels continue to drop, you may experience difficulty concentrating and reduced cognitive performance. Your body may also show visible clues, such as pale skin, brittle nails, cracked corners of the mouth, and hair loss. In the more advanced stages, symptoms may intensify to extreme irritability, dizziness, headaches, brain fog, shortness of breath during light activity, and even depression or anxiety disorders.

Women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and female athletes have an increased need for iron because their loss or usage is significantly higher. During menstruation, an average of 30–60 ml of blood is lost, which corresponds to about 15–30 mg of iron.

​​During pregnancy and breastfeeding, iron needs can increase by up to 100 percent, as the developing baby, the placenta, and milk production all draw from the mother's iron stores. Female athletes also require more iron because intense training leads to greater losses through sweat, small amounts of blood from microtears, and the increased production of red blood cells.

Meeting these higher demands is often difficult through diet alone, which is why targeted support is especially important during these stages of life.

Not all vitamin supplements are created equal, so which form of vitamin C you choose is crucial. Many supplements boast high vitamin C amounts, hoping that a portion will be absorbed by the body before it's excreted as waste.

However, high doses often lead to extremely unpleasant side effects, including nausea, heartburn, stomach pain, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. PureWay-C® relies on an innovative manufacturing process that is gentle on the stomach, avoiding these side effects. This enables up to 233% higher absorption than with conventional vitamin C, without the burden of undesirable side effects.

The latest research suggests that certain probiotic strains can positively influence iron absorption by lowering the pH level in the gut. This improves iron's solubility and makes it easier for the body to take in. In particular, lactic acid bacteria like Lactobacillus plantarum create a favorable intestinal environment and can enhance the bioavailability of iron.

To maximize your iron uptake and support overall gut health, we recommend pairing our Gentle Iron + Vitamin C Capsules with Women's Best Daily Flora Biotics or DeBloat Biotics.
