Iron Chelate

Iron Chelate refers to iron bound to organic molecules, such as amino acids (e.g. glycine) or EDTA, to enhance absorption, stability, and bioavailability. It is commonly used in nutritional supplements, fortified foods, and agricultural applications, helping to support red blood cell production, oxygen transport, and prevent iron deficiency anemia with fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to inorganic iron salts.
