A simple way to care for daily iron intake
Iron Bisglycinate 20mg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement in plant-based capsules formulated with ferrous bisglycinate, a form of iron bound to glycine. Put simply: it isn’t a conventional iron salt, but a chelated form, designed to deliver this mineral with a carefully selected mix of ingredients.
Iron is an essential mineral that plays a part in well-known bodily functions. It contributes to normal energy metabolism, to normal oxygen transport in the body, and to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin. It also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, supports normal cognitive function, and supports the normal functioning of the immune system.
A straightforward formula for those who want to add iron to their routine without hassle: in the form of bisglycinate, practical high concentration, plant capsule, and simple composition.
What makes this HSN iron different
The main difference lies in the form used. Ferrous bisglycinate is a chelated form where iron is bound to glycine, an amino acid. This structure clearly differentiates it from other traditional iron forms such as sulfate, fumarate, or gluconate, which many people associate with a less comfortable experience.
At HSN we view it as a balanced option: not aiming to be a more complex formula, but a well-formulated iron, with a 20 mg concentration and a clean label composition. It’s a very interesting purchase for someone who wants a specific iron product and doesn’t need to add a full multivitamin–mineral.
Raw material and composition: iron as the star
The formula is based on ferrous bisglycinate as the iron source. Each capsule provides 20 mg of elemental iron sourced from this chelated form, a concentration selected for those looking to control their iron intake within a supplementation routine.
Plus, we’ve kept a simple composition, without unnecessary additions. This makes the product easy to pair with other dietary supplements without turning it into a formula loaded with extra ingredients.
This approach is especially useful if you already use vitamin C, vitamin B12, folate, multivitamins, or other products and want to add iron more specifically, avoiding duplicating ingredients that may already be part of your daily routine.
Why develop vegan iron?
Our iron bisglycinate is made with ingredients suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and uses plant-based capsules instead of gelatin. In an iron product, that’s especially important, since many people following plant-based diets need to pay more attention to their iron intake due to the low content of iron in vegetal foods.
In addition, the clean label formula helps with the purchase: it’s an allergen-free, vegan, and GMO-free option. An easy choice to fit into routines with different dietary preferences.
Who is iron recommended for
This dietary supplement can fit people looking for a specific iron source, simple and compatible with a vegetarian or vegan diet. It’s also an interesting option for adult women, active people, or users who want to look after nutrients related to normal oxygen transport and energy metabolism within a varied diet (for example, endurance athletes).
It can also be an ideal supplement for those who prefer to avoid overly broad multinutrient formulas and want a more direct product: iron bisglycinate, plant capsule, and a practical concentration.
How to integrate it into your daily routine
Its plant-based capsule format makes it easy to take and simple to maintain within a daily routine. You can incorporate it at the moment that best fits your habits, always following the usage indications on the product label.
If you already use other dietary supplements, this specific format helps you organize your routine better: on one side, iron; on the other, products you want to combine based on your nutritional needs. A simple formula has precisely that advantage: it lets you build a more personalized routine.
