What are the benefits?
When developing our Women’s Best Gentle Iron Capsules, our goal was simple: to give you a highly bioavailable iron supplement that replenishes your iron levels and supports your overall wellbeing.
Up to 2 billion people worldwide are affected by iron deficiency, and women are among the most vulnerable. Research shows that this deficiency often goes unnoticed for years. Meanwhile, significant impairments develop silently in the background. These include reduced oxygen transport, declining cognitive performance, chronic fatigue, pale skin, brittle nails, and hair loss. Even mild deficiencies can affect concentration, reaction speed, and mental resilience.
To combat this widespread issue, we use Ferrochel™ iron bisglycinate. This form of iron is highly bioavailable and optimally absorbed by the body. It’s also especially gentle on the stomach, making it ideal for anyone with a sensitive digestive system.
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency globally. Since iron is absorbed through the intestines, many people struggle to process it effectively. Stress, poor diet, certain medications, and a disrupted gut microbiome can all further impair absorption. This means your body may remain undersupplied even when you think you’re consuming enough iron.
This is why our Women’s Best Gentle Iron Capsules rely exclusively on Ferrochel™, a patented form of iron known for its exceptional bioavailability and absorption. Its protective structure helps the iron pass through the stomach comfortably and be absorbed efficiently in the intestines, without being blocked by substances such as calcium or caffeine.
Not all iron works the same way.
Conventional iron forms, like ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate, or ferrous gluconate, are absorbed through pathways that are easily blocked by calcium, caffeine, or tea. In contrast, Ferrochel™ iron bisglycinate uses amino acid pathways in the small intestine, which continue to function regardless of these interfering factors.
This form of iron is especially beneficial for individuals who are overweight or experiencing inflammation or autoimmune issues, as the body produces increased levels of hepcidin in these situations. Hepcidin inhibits iron absorption and can block stored reserves. The chelate form in our capsules helps bypass this barrier, ensuring your body can still access the iron it needs.
Our Women’s Best Gentle Iron Capsules are a smart and reliable choice for anyone wanting to improve their iron levels. Our formula is scientifically backed and based on the latest research, to ensure optimal absorption and noticeable, long-lasting support. With excellent tolerability and high bioavailability, our capsules continue to work effectively even when intestinal absorption is compromised or external factors make iron harder to use.
How do I take it?
Take one capsule daily about 15 to 30 minutes before a meal.
For more effective iron absorption, combine it with our Women’s Best Daily Probiotics Capsules or DeBloat Probiotics Capsules.

Why do we use Ferrochel™?
Our Women’s Best Gentle Iron Capsules are powered by Ferrochel™, a patented iron bisglycinate known for its clinically proven high bioavailability and outstanding tolerability. Unlike conventional iron forms, iron bisglycinate binds iron to two glycine molecules, creating a highly efficient chelated form.
This unique structure makes a real difference: it helps protect the iron in your stomach from interacting with substances that normally block absorption, while also preventing irritation of the stomach lining. The result? Significantly better absorption, exceptional digestive comfort, and the effective rebuilding of your iron stores, all without the typical digestive discomfort associated with standard iron supplements.
100% innovative.
2 billion people are affected.
Iron deficiency has become a real global challenge. Research indicates that around 2 billion people are affected, making it the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide. Because iron is primarily absorbed through the intestines, factors like inflammation, diet, and stress can significantly impact how well your body takes it in. This means that even if you eat enough iron-rich foods, your body may still struggle to absorb what it needs.
That’s why choosing a high-quality, bioavailable iron supplement is so important. Our Women’s Best Gentle Iron Capsules use iron bisglycinate, a chelated form designed to support smooth intestinal absorption and help replenish your iron stores effectively.

Constantly tired? You might be low in iron.
Iron deficiency develops gradually and often goes unnoticed until it becomes more severe. Early warning signs include persistent tiredness and fatigue, even after getting enough sleep. As your iron levels continue to drop, you may experience difficulty concentrating and reduced cognitive performance. Your body may also show visible clues, such as pale skin, brittle nails, cracked corners of the mouth, and hair loss. In the more advanced stages, symptoms may intensify to extreme irritability, dizziness, headaches, brain fog, shortness of breath during light activity, and even depression or anxiety disorders.

Why women need more iron.
Women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and female athletes have an increased need for iron because their loss or usage is significantly higher. During menstruation, an average of 30–60 ml of blood is lost, which corresponds to about 15–30 mg of iron.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, iron needs can increase by up to 100 percent, as the developing baby, the placenta, and milk production all draw from the mother’s iron stores. Female athletes also require more iron because intense training leads to greater losses through sweat, small amounts of blood from microtears, and the increased production of red blood cells.
Meeting these higher demands is often difficult through diet alone, which is why targeted support is especially important during these stages of life.
Iron as a performance booster.
Iron is a vital mineral that plays a key role in your body’s ability to perform. As a core part of hemoglobin and myoglobin, iron is responsible for carrying oxygen in your blood and muscles and fueling every move you make.
This makes iron essential for all physical activity, especially endurance and aerobic training. Whether you’re running, rowing, cycling, doing HIIT, or playing sports, maintaining optimal iron levels is crucial. This is because iron levels directly impact your stamina, strength, and how quickly you recover after intense sessions.

Boost iron absorption with probiotics.
The latest research suggests that certain probiotic strains can positively influence iron absorption by lowering the pH level in the gut. This improves iron’s solubility and makes it easier for the body to take in. In particular, lactic acid bacteria like Lactobacillus plantarum create a favorable intestinal environment and can enhance the bioavailability of iron.
To maximize your iron uptake and support overall gut health, we recommend pairing our Gentle Iron Capsules with Women’s Best Daily Flora Biotics or DeBloat Biotics.
