Inside this capsule
This capsule
Iron
Bisglycinate chelate · 18 mg
One ingredient. The dose on the label is the dose in your hand, and the lot number traces it back to one supplier: Albion / Balchem.
A typical blend capsule
ingredient?dose?ingredient?dose?ingredient?dose?ingredient?dose?ingredient?dose?ingredient?…
“Proprietary blend, 1,200 mg” — many names, one number, no way to know how much of anything you took, or what competes with what inside.
On the evidence
Iron's role in red-blood-cell formation and fatigue reduction is an authorised nutrient function.

Every ingredient in the catalogue carries one of these three grades — including the ones we grade down. A scale you never see the bottom of is not a scale.

Take it with / keep it apart
Single ingredients let timing work for you — blends lock everything into one swallow.
◐ Keep apart from Calcium
Calcium and iron compete for shared uptake pathways in the small intestine; calcium taken together measurably lowers iron absorption. → Take them at meals at least 2 hours apart. (NIH ODS Iron Fact Sheet)
◐ Keep apart from Zinc
Iron and zinc share transporter capacity; supplemental iron taken together can reduce zinc uptake. → Iron with one meal, zinc with another. (NIH ODS Zinc Fact Sheet)
◐ Keep apart from Green Tea Extract
Green-tea catechins (tannins) bind non-heme iron in the gut and block its uptake. → Keep EGCG at least 2 hours away from the iron dose. (NIH ODS Iron Fact Sheet (inhibitors of non-heme iron))
◐ Keep apart from Psyllium Husk
Soluble fibre gels in the gut and can carry minerals through before they absorb. → Psyllium gets its own slot, 2 hours clear of minerals. (Product labelling standard for bulk fibre; NIH ODS Iron Fact Sheet)
◎ Pairs well with Vitamin C
Ascorbate reduces iron to its better-absorbed form and counters inhibitors in the same meal. → Take them together — same meal, on purpose. (NIH ODS Iron Fact Sheet (enhancers of non-heme iron))

- ★★★★★Clean label, fair price
Compared with what I was paying at a local chemist for a branded version, this works out cheaper per day and the form is better. Import took a while but was handled for me.

- ★★★★★The schedule advice is underrated
The bot told me to keep this away from my iron at a different meal. My pharmacist said the same thing when I asked. Nice to see a shop that knows timing matters.

- ★★★★★Product fine, wish for more sizes
No complaints on quality — certificate checked out, delivery on time. Three stars because I wanted a smaller trial size before committing to 30 days.

- ★★★★★Bot understood my mess
I picked three problems at once and it merged them into one set without doubling anything up. It even explained which two ingredients shouldn't be swallowed together.
Siti M. · MY · 2026-08-11
- ★★★★★The certificate thing is real
Typed the lot number from my box into the site and the lab report actually opened. First supplement brand where I could do that. Capsules are small enough to swallow easily.

- ★★★★★Third order
First order was a test, second was for my husband, third is the subscription. The consistency between lots is what keeps me — same look, same certificate format, no surprises.
