Our assessment
Our assessment: Iron glycinate, as formulated by XYMOGEN, provides a highly absorbable form of iron. For individuals with iron deficiency, this can be a well-tolerated supplement. However, data for this specific brand and formulation is not available for a complete evaluation.
How it works
Iron is a critical mineral that helps your body produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Without enough iron, you can feel tired and weak. Iron glycinate is a chelated form, meaning the iron is bonded to the amino acid glycine, which is often gentler on the stomach and may be better absorbed than other forms [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effect reports from the FDA for this exact product. However, iron supplements in general can cause side effects such as constipation, nausea, and stomach pain. Taking too much iron can be toxic, especially for children. You should not take iron supplements unless you have confirmed low iron levels through a blood test [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Only take XYMOGEN Iron Glycinate if you have a diagnosed iron deficiency. For most adults, the RDA for iron is 8 mg for men and 18 mg for women [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the dose recommended by your healthcare provider. Keep this supplement out of reach of children. Data not available to provide a specific dosage for this product.
