Iron plays a crucial role in our body's essential functions, from transporting oxygen in the bloodstream to supporting cognitive function and immune health. However, not all iron supplements are created equal. At Nutriex, we've deliberately chosen Albion® Ferrochel® chelated iron for our Sport, Health, and Basic products to ensure you receive maximum benefits without digestive discomfort.

The Challenge with Traditional Iron Supplements

Many iron supplements on the market use inorganic forms like ferrous sulfate, which often present significant challenges:

• Poor absorption rates - Inorganic iron and even other brands of chelated iron can have low bioavailability, meaning your body struggles to utilize what you consume
• Digestive distress - Common side effects include constipation, nausea, and stomach pain
• Nutrient interactions - Inorganic iron can inhibit the absorption of other vital nutrients
• Metallic taste - Many iron supplements leave an unpleasant taste that makes consistent use difficult

These issues not only reduce effectiveness but can also lead to supplement abandonment—precisely when your body needs consistent iron intake the most.

The Chelated Difference: Science-Backed Absorption

At Nutriex, we use Albion® Ferrochel® chelated iron, where the mineral is bound to amino acids with low molecular weight. This sophisticated process creates several distinct advantages:

• Enhanced bioavailability - The chelation process creates an organic form that your body recognizes and absorbs more efficiently
• Gentle on digestion - The chelated form remains intact through the stomach, reducing irritation and digestive discomfort
• Stable delivery - Chelated minerals provide consistent nutrient release for sustained benefits
• Reduced interactions - Less reactivity with other nutrients means better overall absorption of your supplement regimen

How Chelated Iron Works Synergistically with Other Nutrients

Our formulations leverage the natural synergies between nutrients to maximize benefits:

1. Vitamin C partnership - Our products contain vitamin C which enhances iron absorption while providing antioxidant support
2. Vitamin B complex - B vitamins work alongside iron to support red blood cell production and energy metabolism
3. Vitamin A - Aids the body in releasing stored iron when needed
4. Copper balance - Proper copper levels help your body utilize iron efficiently for hemoglobin production
5. Zinc coordination - Carefully balanced zinc levels ensure optimal immune function without competing with iron absorption

Real Benefits You Can Feel

When you take Nutriex products with chelated iron, you're supporting:

• Sustained energy levels - Efficient oxygen transport throughout your body
