Bronson Iron Bisglycinate (Albion®) | 25 mg | 360 Capsules

Bronson Iron Bisglycinate 25 mg in a 360 capsule bottle, built on the chelated Albion® IRON form, is made for extended use, delivering 25 mg of glycine-chelated iron in each vegetarian capsule to support haemoglobin formation and rebuild the body's iron stores. Rebuilding iron stores is not a matter of days: ferritin held in the liver and spleen returns to level slowly and needs uninterrupted commitment measured in months rather than weeks, which is exactly what 360 capsules at one a day are for. It suits anyone who has previously abandoned an iron supplement before finishing the course and wants continuous cover with no gaps in supply.

What is glycine-chelated iron?

Glycine-chelated iron, or iron bisglycinate, is an organic form of iron in which the mineral is surrounded by two glycine molecules bound to it in a double ring that encloses it and masks its reactivity. Glycine is the smallest of the amino acids, and that small size is what allows the compound to stay compact and stable through the digestive tract. The Albion® IRON mark on the bottle identifies the industry standard for this type of amino acid chelation.

Why iron bisglycinate is chosen

• Rebuilding iron stores: Regular use of iron bisglycinate supports the gradual return of ferritin stores to their normal level.
• Haemoglobin formation: Iron is the central component of the heme ring that binds oxygen inside red blood cells.
• Normal energy metabolism: Iron takes part in the electron transport chain enzymes inside mitochondria that generate energy.
• Reducing tiredness: Iron contributes to reducing the fatigue associated with low dietary intake.
• Cognitive function: Iron availability is linked to supporting normal focus and attention.
• Hair and nail support: Hair follicles are rapidly dividing tissue affected by the body's iron availability.
• Built for continuous use: The chelated form is what makes staying on it for several months practical.

The journey of iron through the body

The body has no efficient mechanism for excreting excess iron, so it regulates intake at the absorption gate in the duodenum through the hormone hepcidin, secreted by the liver, which closes the ferroportin transporter once stores are full. Absorbed iron binds to transferrin, which carries it through the blood to the bone marrow, where red cell precursors consume it in heme synthesis during erythropoiesis, while the surplus is stored inside ferritin in the liver, spleen and marrow. This hormonal regulation is why correcting stores is a gradual, extended process: the body raises its reserves at a rate it sets itself, not at a rate set by the size of the dose.

What the 360 capsule bottle offers

The Bronson Iron Bisglycinate 360 capsule bottle carries the same 25 mg per capsule, but in a count that covers a long uninterrupted course at one capsule daily, which solves the most common problem with iron supplements: stopping halfway through. The chemical form itself is designed for the long run, since amino acid chelation limits the free iron reaching the intestinal lining, and free iron is what drives the symptoms that make people quit. The capsule is vegetarian and the amount is uniform in every capsule, so nothing needs splitting or measuring.

Situations this product is used in

• Anyone needing an extended iron course running for several months without a break in supply.
• People who do not eat red meat and rely on plant sources with lower iron absorption.
• People tracking their ferritin level with their doctor who need continuous nutritional support.
• Those under high training loads who lose iron through repeated sweating.
• Households sharing the same supplement who need a higher count per bottle.

How to use

Take one capsule of Iron Bisglycinate 25 mg daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Pairing it with a source of vitamin C such as citrus helps raise absorption, while calcium and zinc supplements and tannin-rich drinks should be kept at least two hours apart from it, since those compete with iron for the same absorption sites.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to rebuild iron stores?

Haemoglobin rises before ferritin stores do, and correcting the stores themselves usually extends over months of regular use, because the body regulates iron absorption hormonally and does not refill its reserves in one go. Following up with blood tests through a doctor is the only way to determine the right duration for each person.

Should iron bisglycinate be taken with vitamin C?

Yes. Vitamin C raises iron absorption by keeping it in its more absorbable ferrous state and preventing it from precipitating in the intestinal environment. Taking the iron capsule with a piece of citrus fruit or a glass of orange juice is a common practice for this reason.

Do coffee, tea and calcium affect iron absorption?

Yes. Tannins in tea and coffee bind iron in the intestinal lumen and reduce its absorption, and calcium competes with it for transport sites in the intestinal cells. Leaving at least two hours between the iron capsule and these sources preserves the benefit.

Caution

Not for pregnant/nursing women or under-18s; keep away from children. Consult a doctor if on chronic medication or with iron storage disorders.
