Many people suffer from low iron levels, regardless of their diets. Anemia can result in serious health problems. Unfortunately, some iron pills can lead to uncomfortable side effects. Taking an iron supplement doesn't have to cause
constipation or gastric problems. Designs for Health’s Ferrochel® Iron Chelate is formulated to be well-tolerated by your stomach and intestines. Your iron deficiency may be due to blood loss (from menstruation or other factors), low
iron intake in your diet, or a difficulty absorbing iron. When coupled with a treatment plan from your healthcare practitioner, Ferrochel® helps restore healthy iron levels.
Ferrochel® iron chelate uses Albion Advanced Nutrition
material, allowing it to serve as a potent supplement. Each capsule provides you with 27 mg of iron, which is 150% of the general recommended daily value (RDA); your doctor may adjust this dosage, depending on your specific needs. In most
cases, you should take this iron supplement with food.
The body excretes very little iron (even when it already has sufficient amounts), making it important to monitor your iron supplement dosage. Ferritin is a protein in the body that
stores iron in your tissues. If you have high ferritin levels, it's essential that you consult with your doctor before taking this or any other iron supplement.
Ferrochel® by Designs for Health may be used safely by people with
anemia, pregnant and lactating women, adults, and teenagers. Make sure to keep iron supplements away from small children.
Ferrochel® capsules are suitable for vegetarians, and have been formulated to meet the needs of people with food
sensitivities and allergies. This product is free of common allergens; it contains absolutely no gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, soy, sugar, yeast, or preservatives.
Designs for Health® was founded in 1989 by a team of clinical
nutritionists, and puts science first when creating products and formulas. Ever since then, the company has focused on manufacturing dietary supplements that contain quality, natural ingredients at effective dosages. It strives to provide
the best products for health care professionals and patients.

Ferrochel Iron chelate product
By Faye McNaull from Durham, NC on January 26, 2012
I liiked Ferrochel Iron Chelate just fine until I had further refinement of my diet, so the ingredients, namely rice flour is a No-No for me now. Can I return it? Do you have any policies re replacing that Ishould be aware of? Do you have a product with the same dose of iron without any flour, sugars of any kind, constarch or anything that breaks down into sugars in the small intestine?
Nothing wrong with the product; it's just me.
Thanks.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Easily absorbed
By Michelle from San Diego on January 16, 2012
Most iron is not easily absorbed, gives stomach issues (constipation), etc. My naturopath recommended this brand for my anemia. My hemoglobin and ferritin levels have risen quickly and I do not have problems digesting these. Great OTC iron supplement!
I would recommend this item to a friend.
If you are unable to take iron tablets from the doctor....
By Janet Haefner from Philadelphia, PA on July 7, 2011
you should DEFINITELY take these Ferrochel capsules. They do not bind you up and bring your iron levels back gradually so that your system can handle it. It does take a while for the level to come up though which some may consider a drawback, but, I do not when compared to the side effects of the regular iron tablets and/or liquid.
Pros:
Does not constipate me.
