Iron Complex
Uses the gold-standard Ferrochel (Iron Bisglycinate), which is clinically proven to be 2-4x more bioavailable than ferrous sulfate with significantly fewer GI side effects. While it lacks the Vitamin C co-factors and amber glass packaging mentioned in the category ideal, its hypoallergenic, practitioner-grade purity and competitive pricing for a chelated mineral earn it a top-tier rating.
