Thorne Iron Bisglycinate
A standalone, non-constipating iron for when labs show you need more than your prenatal provides, in the gentle bisglycinate form.
Iron needs climb sharply in pregnancy to support expanding blood volume, and many people need more than diet or a prenatal alone provides. The problem with most iron supplements is the stomach upset, which this form is designed to avoid.
Why it's on the list
- 25 mg elemental iron as ferrous bisglycinate: clinically shown to cause far fewer GI side effects than ferrous sulfate, with comparable absorption.
- NSF Certified for Sport, gluten/dairy/soy-free.
- A clean way to add iron only if you actually need it.
Take it with a little vitamin C, between meals or at bedtime, and keep it 2+ hours from calcium, coffee, and tea. Only add supplemental iron beyond your prenatal if your clinician or labs say you need it.
