Iron Glycinate - 30 Capsules

TAKE 1 HOUR BEFORE OR 2 HOURS AFTER A MEAL

High absorption & gentle on the stomach.

Honour Health Iron Glycinate delivers a premium form of iron with minimal additives & excipients. 

Iron supplements are generally difficult to absorb & many of the conventional forms of iron cause gastrointestinal side effects including nausea & constipation.

By formulating iron in a chelated form with the amino acid glycine, Honour Health Iron Glycinate is optimised for maximum absorption, whilst at the same time reducing GI side effects like nauseousness & constipation.

IRON GLYCINATE

Well researched for being one of the most highly absorbed forms of iron, Iron Glycinate is made up of the essential micronutrient iron & the amino acid Glycine.

For stability, iron supplements must always be bound to another element (no iron supplement is ever simply 'pure iron').

Unlike other forms of iron, Iron Glycinate (the combination of iron & glycine) is extremely well absorbed by the body, far less likely to cause constipation & gastrointestinal stress.

And is often the preferred form of iron supplement prescribed from leading healthcare professionals.

Honour Health Iron Glycinate

A foundational mineral of health & wellbeing.

High absorption, low constipation & gentle on the stomach, Iron Glycinate is an essential mineral for almost all physiological functions including energy production, red blood cell production & the efficient transport of oxygen to cells, tissues & organs.

Why we need iron

Energy levels & energy production

Iron is a key component of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that moves oxygen from the lungs, to the tissues throughout the body.

Energy relies on oxygen.

And iron ensures efficient delivery of oxygen to cells that generate energy.

Red blood cell production

Haemoglobin is not only essential for energy production, but also for the effective production of red blood cells.

Iron is a crucial component in the production of hemoglobin, a key protein in red blood cells.

When the body has sufficient iron to produce healthy hemoglobin, it can then create red blood cells at a normal rate.

If iron levels are low, it can lead to a reduction in the production of red blood cells, resulting in iron-deficiency anemia.

Cognitive function

Iron supports the maintenance of healthy brain cells & the neurotransmitters that facilitate communication between them.

Adequate iron levels are crucial for concentration, memory & overall mental functioning.

And iron deficiency can reduce overall cognitive performance, leading to a range of cognitive impairments.

Immune system health

Iron supports the development & proper functioning of immune cells, like lymphocytes, which help the body fight off infections & disease.

Adequate iron levels are necessary to defend the body from pathogens.

And an invaluable nutrient for maintaining a strong & responsive immune system.

Clean & effective

Combined with glycine for increased absorption

Iron supplements can never simply be 'pure iron' & they must be bound to another element for stability & to be absorbed in the digestive system.

We've formulated our iron with the amino acid Glycine to create Iron Glycinate - a form of iron scientifically shown to have increased bioavailabilty & increased absorption over other forms of iron.

Microencapsulated powder instead of hard tablets

Most Iron Glycinate supplements come in tablet form - with a solid, hard, smooth, shiny surface.

The issue with hard tablets is that they can often require high amounts of additives & binders / glues to ensure stability or supplement composition (for example, a hard tablet is mostly powder, bound & glued together to make a hard structure).

Our Iron Glycinate comes in powder form, microencapsulated in a vegan based, hard capsule made from hypromellose (a natural fiber) & purified water.

This allows us to encapsulate the highest quality, pure Iron Glycinate without the need for unnecessary binders or additives.

No unnecessary fillers or excipients

As per Australian Regulation, excipients / additives that may be required to manufacture magnesium supplements are not required to be detailed on the label.

This makes it very hard to make an informed decision for the 'conscious consumer.'

Not only do we disclose every single ingredient in our Iron Glycinate, we guarantee that every ingredient serves a specific purpose & that there are absolutely no unnecessary fillers.

Our Iron Glycinate is comprised of 100% pure, unbuffered Iron Glycinate, & the amino acid l-leucine which also acts as a lubricant & anti-caking agent (compounds added in small amounts to ensure product flows freely through machines & prevents clumping of ingredients during manufacturing).

Glycine for improved absorption

Combining Iron with the amino acid Glycine for increased bioavailability & a form that is gentle on the stomach.

Microencapsulated

We never use binders & glues often required to manufacture hard tablet iron supplements. Instead we choose microencapsulation; Iron Glycinate powder cleanly produced & enclosed in a plant based capsule.

No unnecessary fillers & excipients

Every ingredient must serve a purpose & every ingredient must be detailed on the label, including excipients. Part of our commitment to full disclosure & delivering an Iron Glycinate supplement of the highest integrity.

Impacts of not getting enough iron

FATIGUE & REDUCED ENERGY PRODUCTION

Low iron levels can lead to fatigue & low energy, primarily through its impact on haemoglobin production & oxygen transport in the body.

Without enough iron, our bodies produce less haemoglobin which decreases oxygen transport to the tissues & organs.

And this reduction in oxygen limits energy production in the cells, especially in the mitochondria, where most energy is generated.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON RED BLOOD CELL HEALTH & PRODUCTION

Red blood cells, which are also known as erythrocytes, have several crucial roles in the body including oxygen transport, carbon dioxide removal, pH balance & immune system response.

Iron is essential to the overall health & functionality of red blood cells.

REDUCED COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE

Iron plays a key role transporting oxygen to the brain & the synthesis of several neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine & serotonin.

The function of the brain is highly dependant on oxygen & insufficient oxygen as a result of low iron, can not only impair cognitive functions like attention, memory & decision making.

But also cause disruptions to many of the brains neurotransmitters, essential for proper cognitive function.

WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM

Low iron levels can have significant effects on the immune system as several immune cells that protect the body against disease & infection rely on getting adequate levels of iron in the diet.

Without enough iron, our immune system can become compromised, weakening its ability to fight off infections and respond effectively to pathogens.

How to take Iron Glycinate supplements

Iron Glycinate supplements are best taken on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

If you're supplementing iron & zinc, both of which are absorbed better on an empty stomach, best practice is to take one mid-morning & the other mid-afternoon.

Iron & zinc can compete with each other for absorption & separating your supplementation with help optimise absorption.
