The Just Ingredients Difference

Chelated Iron*

We include patented Ferrochel®, a highly bioavailable, fully chelated form of iron, where iron is bound to two organic glycine molecules. This chelation process makes Ferrochel® electrically neutral, designed to be gentle on the digestive system and less likely to compete with other nutrients for absorption.

Its small molecular size allows it to stay intact throughout the digestive tract for optimal absorption. Clinical studies show that Ferrochel® causes fewer gastrointestinal issues compared to traditional ferrous sulfate and has been demonstrated to be more effective at lower doses.

Can help support:

  • Healthy iron levels and red blood cell production*
  • Replenishment of iron lost during menstrual cycles*
  • Energy and vitality*
  • Strength and stamina*
  • Healthy hair growth*
  • Balanced nutrition for vegetarian and vegan diets*
  • Performance during physical activity*
  • Endurance and recovery for athletes*
  • Healthy digestion and nutrient absorption*
  • Wellness for frequent blood donors*

Real Ingredients. Better Health.

Carefully selected ingredients for a better choice iron supplement. See why we included each key ingredient:

Iron (as Ferrochel Albion Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate)

Lactobacillus plantarum UALp-05™

Bifidobacterium lactis UABla-12™

L-Methionine (Fermented) (Vegan)

L-Threonine (Vegan)

Bioperine® Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) Fruit Extract 95% Piperine

Vitamin C (from Organic Acerola (Malpighia glabra L.Fruit Extract)

Iron (as Ferrochel Albion Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate)

Ferrochel® is a chelated iron supplement created by binding iron to two organic glycine molecules. This process results in an ionically neutral form of iron designed to support efficient nutrient absorption without competing with other nutrients. Its small molecular size allows it to pass through the digestive tract with ease, offering a gentle option for iron supplementation*

Lactobacillus plantarum UALp-05™

This specific strain of bacteria has been shown to settle in and thrive in the lining of the human intestines when taken by mouth, helping to support gut health. It cansupport healthy iron absorptionby promoting a balanced gut microbiome and improve nutrient utilization.*

Bifidobacterium lactis UABla-12™

A beneficial probiotic strain that can support digestive health and immune function. It may help improve gastrointestinal comfort, alleviate symptoms like bloating and abdominal discomfort, and promote the synthesis of essential nutrients.*

L-Methionine (Fermented) (Vegan)

An essential amino acid that plays a key role in various cellular processes and supports the body's ability to absorb and use iron more effectively. Studies show that ingestion of methionine and threonine with iron can lead to higher hemoglobin levels than that with iron alone in a short period of 4 weeks.*

L-Threonine (Vegan)

An essential amino acid that supports the body’s protein balance and helps in the formation of collagen, elastin, and tooth enamel. When combined with iron, L-Threonine may help improve iron utilization and potentially support higher hemoglobin levels.*

Bioperine® Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) Fruit Extract 95% Piperine

A natural compound from black pepper that helps the body absorb nutrients more effectively. When combined with iron supplements, it may improve key blood health markers, helping the body use iron better, especially for those with iron deficiency.*

Vitamin C (from Organic Acerola (Malpighia glabra L.Fruit Extract)

Derived from organic Acerola, this natural source of vitamin C can help in the absorption of iron by converting ferric iron (oxidized form of iron that is less soluble) to ferrous iron (more soluble and easier for the body to absorb) so that it is more easily absorbed by the body.*

Reviews

So good!

"This is the best quality iron supplement! My daughter’s blood test showed super low ferritin and she was loosing her hair and always feeling faint when standing up. Shes been on it for 3 months and her hair has stopped shedding. She has noticeably more energy and rarely feels dizzy when she stands up. Can’t wait to see what her next blood results say"

Lynsey L. (5/5)

Iron Deficiency While Pregnant

"I honestly wish I had started taking this supplement, way sooner, in my pregnancy. I was feeling dizzy and lightheaded, every time I stood up; not realizing my iron count was low. As soon as I started supplementing with these, the symptoms disappeared! I take two, every other day, and it’s worked out well for me! I also love that the supplement includes vitamin C, for better absorption!"

Adriana W. (5/5)

Effective in boosting ferritin!

"I'm pregnant with my 2nd child and my bloodwork in first trimester revealed that my ferritin levels were 25. Per my midwives guidance, I took 4 capsules per day pretty consistently for 2 months and my levels boosted to 40! I will warn though that they smell off-putting and the burps afterwards are gross too. I take them first thing in the morning with fresh squeezed orange juice to help with absorption and taste. I'm at the end of my 2nd trimester and it's getting harder to take them because I'm developing a queasy aversion to their taste/burps ☹️"

Yaritza C. (5/5)

Brought my iron levels up to optimal

"Before (April 10): Ferritin was 19 ng/mL - depleted and below optimal After ~7-8 weeks of supplementation (June 1): Ferritin jumped to 57 ng/mL — solidly in the optimal range (45-80) That's a 3x improvement in under two months! And it came with real, noticeable benefits — less brain fog, more energy, and your hemoglobin and red blood cell quality improving alongside it. I am so thankful for Just Ingredients products! They truly delivered!"

Lancer (5/5)

It works!!

"So impressed with JI iron supplement! I was diagnosed with low iron and was told to take an iron supplement to help. I tried drug store brand iron first and ordered this as a back up because it was more expensive then the drug store. What a difference between the two. I didn't feel any benefits with the drug store brand but with JI brand I was feeling better within a week. I took the supplement every other day and when I got my iron tested again 3m later my iron were at normal levels. Buy this and thank me later."

B. K. (5/5)

Work in Progress

"It'll take awhile before seeing improves through my lab results. Overall, I haven't experienced any discomfort while taking these daily."

Williams (5/5)

Iron complex

"This does have a bit of a strong smell/taste, so if that bothers you take it with food. I haven’t noticed a significant change in my energy level in the last month, but I am hoping I see that after a few more weeks of taking this"

Jackie P. (4/5)

Worry free

"I have been severely anemic during pregnancy. I’ve been taking JI iron and so glad I don’t have to worry about the quality or any hidden ingredients."

Dalton (5/5)

Use it Daily

"Such a smart option, love that it is combined with Vitamin C to help with absorption. Doesn’t upset my upset and love that I can trust the ingredients."

Q&A

How big is the pill? I have trouble with large pills, so this would be very helpful information for all of your supplements.
The supplement comes in a vegetarian capsule. It is an average-sized capsule that most people find easy to swallow. You can open the capsule and add to a beverage if needed.
Hello, can I take this 2 hours after dinner? Do any of the ingredients listed interfere with sleep?
Thank you for your question! For optimal absorption, it’s best to take the iron complex on an empty stomach, as some foods can interfere with how well it’s absorbed. Taking it about 2 hours after a meal, like breakfast or dinner, works well. You can also take it before bed as long as it’s still 2 hours after eating.
My ferritin is extremely low. Is it safe to take 2 doses of this per day? (I have heard many recommendations for taking 50 to 65 mg of iron per day for such low levels, just not sure about the rest of the ingredients at that higher dose).

Can this iron supplement cause constipation like Slow Fe and/or stomach upset? My 19 yr old daughter was told by her doctor to take slow fe and she was extremely nauseated (even with food)
