Iron Ferrochel®: a premium way to support your iron intake
Bisglycinate Iron Ferrochel® (30 mg Iron) from EssentialSeries is a plant-based dietary supplement in capsules, made with Ferrochel® chelated ferrous bisglycinate from Albion® Minerals.
We developed it for those looking for a clear, concentrated, high-quality iron product: no complex formula, no added nutrients, and with a registered-brand raw material that makes a difference versus more generic options.
A smart way to complement your iron intake: 30 mg of elemental iron per capsule, Ferrochel® raw material, and a direct, clean-label formula suitable for vegan diets.
What makes it different from other irons
The main differentiating factor of this product rests in the form of iron. Ferrochel® is a chelated ferrous bisglycinate, meaning iron bound to glycine molecules. This structure allows presenting the mineral in a more careful way than traditional iron salts, such as sulfate, gluconate, or ferrous fumarate.
At HSN we bet on Ferrochel® because we’re not just talking about “chelated iron,” but about a branded raw material, identifiable and recognized in the minerals market. For a consumer comparing iron forms, seeking quality and wanting to avoid complex and unclear formulas, this detail is key to ensuring quality and transparency from the first glance.
Additionally, its concentration is very versatile: each capsule provides 30 mg of elemental iron sourced exclusively from ferrous bisglycinate. This makes it easy to fit the product into a routine without resorting to complex combinations or needing to use multiple iron sources within the same formula.
Ferrochel® from Albion® Minerals: raw material quality
Ferrochel® and Albion® Minerals are commercial marks of Balchem Corporation or its subsidiaries. This is key because Ferrochel® is a branded chelated iron, not a generic raw material.
The chelation technology is based on binding the mineral to amino acids, in this case glycine, to obtain a stable, well-defined structure designed to improve the user experience and make a more convenient routine.
What iron brings:
- The iron contributes to normal cognitive function.

A clean, direct formula in plant-based capsules
This dietary supplement maintains a simple composition. Nothing more than what’s needed to offer a product focused on its main goal: provide Ferrochel® iron in a high, easy-to-use concentration.
The plant-based capsule format also improves daily practicality. It has no metallic taste, doesn’t require mixing, doesn’t stain, and is easy to carry. For a mineral like iron, where other formats can be less convenient, capsules are a simple and very practical option.
Plus, it fits a clean-label profile: vegan and vegetarian friendly, no artificial colors, no preservatives, non-GMO, and allergen-free.
Who is it recommended for
Bisglycinate Iron Ferrochel® (30 mg Iron) fits especially with people seeking a specific, premium iron dietary supplement with no added ingredients they don’t need. It’s a good option for those who prefer to control which mineral they’re incorporating into their routine and in what form.
It can also be interesting for people following vegan diets, since it comes in plant-based capsules and contains no animal-origin ingredients. When you’re on a vegan diet it’s normal to pay more attention to iron intake and look for practical options that fit your lifestyle.
Because of its concentration, the formula is designed for users seeking a high-iron intake. For people who simply want to supplement their diet with a small amount of iron, a multivitamin-multimineral that contains iron would be ideal.
How to integrate it into your routine
The best way to incorporate this product is in a simple, consistent way, always following the directions on the label. Being a single-nutrient formula, it’s easy to add to an already-established routine without introducing a wide range of vitamins or minerals.
If you already use other iron-containing products, such as multivitamins or complete formulas, review the overall composition to avoid accumulating large amounts of iron unnecessarily. It’s recommended to pair iron with vitamin C or foods rich in vitamin C.
Recommended combinations
This product can be conveniently paired with other dietary supplements depending on the type of routine you want to build:
¿Ferrochel® 30mg o Bisglicinato de Hierro 20mg?
If you’re after a simpler option, Bisglycinate Iron (20 mg Iron) might fit very well. If you want a more premium alternative, with higher per-capsule concentration and Ferrochel® raw material from Albion® Minerals, this product is the most differentiated choice.
The idea is clear: Ferrochel® 30mg is designed for those who want iron with a branded raw material, high concentration, and a clean-label single-nutrient formula.
Frequently asked questions
¿What does it mean that iron is bisglycinate chelated?
It means iron is bound to glycine molecules, an amino acid. This binding forms a chelated structure, a presentation different from traditional iron salts and highly valued in mineral dietary supplements.
¿What does Ferrochel® offer compared to a generic bisglycinate?
Ferrochel® is an Albion® Minerals branded raw material. This helps identify the ingredient origin more clearly and differentiate it from other non-branded bisglycinates.
¿Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. It’s a vegan- and vegetarian-friendly dietary supplement, made in plant-based capsules and containing no animal-origin ingredients.
¿Does it have a metallic taste?
No. Being in plant-based capsules, it avoids the metallic taste that can appear in other iron formats like liquids, syrups, or powders.
¿Can I combine it with a multivitamin?
Depends on the formula. If the multivitamin already contains iron, it’s best to review the total composition to avoid duplicate iron. If you’re looking for a multivitamin base without adding more iron, Daily Two without Iron or Iodine can be a more practical option.
¿Is it a product for everyone?
It’s designed for those seeking to complement their iron intake in a specific way and who want a high-quality concentration.
