XYMOGEN Iron Glycinate
Brand: XYMOGEN · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
Our assessment: XYMOGEN Iron Glycinate provides iron in a glycinate form, which is often better tolerated than other forms. However, the specific dosage and strength for this product are not provided in the data we have. If you are considering this supplement, you should know that the RDA for iron is 8 mg for men and 18 mg for women [NIH ODS]. We cannot confirm the exact amount in this product without further information.
How it works
Iron is a critical mineral that helps your red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body. Without enough iron, you can feel fatigued and weak [NIH ODS]. The glycinate form in this product is designed to be gentle on the stomach, potentially reducing the digestive discomfort often associated with other iron supplements.
Safety profile
Data not available for adverse event reports specific to XYMOGEN Iron Glycinate from the FDA data provided. General side effects from iron supplements can include constipation, nausea, and stomach upset, especially at higher doses [NIH ODS]. Taking more than 45 mg of iron daily from supplements is not recommended unless your doctor has prescribed it [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you only take an iron supplement if you have a confirmed deficiency, as excess iron can be harmful. Always check the label for the exact milligram amount per serving. If you are unsure about your iron levels, ask your doctor for a simple blood test before starting this supplement [NIH ODS].
