Iron Gummies for Teen Girls — Gentle Bisglycinate for the Years Everything Changes

By the time a girl is fifteen she needs more iron than her father does — and she is the one most likely to be running low on it. Tiredness that a weekend does not fix, breathlessness on stairs, hair that sheds more than it used to. Those are the ordinary first signs, and they are easy to miss in a school timetable.

Why the form matters

Ferrous sulfate is cheap and notorious — constipation, nausea, a stomach that gives up after three weeks. This uses ferrous bisglycinate, iron chelated to the amino acid glycine, which is far gentler on the gut and does not need to be taken with food to be absorbed.

What is in it

• Ferrous bisglycinate — the gentle form.
• Vitamin C — improves absorption from the same gummy.
• Folate and B12 — the two B-vitamins red blood cells need to mature.

Who it is for

Teen girls from 13, and any woman whose cycle leaves her drained for a week each month. Two gummies daily on an empty stomach, or with food if she is sensitive.

Iron supplements should not be taken without checking a ferritin level if hair loss or fatigue is severe. Ask for a blood test.
