About This Product

  • Promotes energy production
  • Gentle on the stomach
  • Non-constipating

Iron is a vital trace mineral that is involved in a myriad of biological processes, like oxygen transport and energy production—making it a non-negotiable for any healthy, well-balanced diet. However, iron can have some less than desirable effects on your GI tract, like constipation and stomach upset.

The Vitamin Shoppe® brand Comfort Iron® is formulated with ferrous bisglycinate-a chelated form of iron that is non-constipating and gentle on your stomach.

Non-constipating
This is the only iron supplement I will take. It is the only one, including prescription & over the counter, that isn't constipating. I have used Vitamin Shoppe's brand for several years without a problem.

Boosted my hemoglobin without side effects
As a frequent blood donor, I occasionally get deferred for low iron. Eating more green veggies and other iron-rich foods didn't solve the issue, so I tried this supplement. Two weeks later I was eligible to donate and didn't experience side effects from Comfort Iron.

Best Iron vitamin
This is the only iron vitamin I can take that doesn't cause constipation. I've been taking it every day now and it has increased my iron levels! Try to take it with OJ or an orange, wait at least 2 hours after having coffee, and don't take it with calcium.

Does this contain 25 mg of elemental iron?

Best Answer:  Yes, the 25mg refers to the amount of elemental iron. "Fortunately, elemental iron is listed in the Supplement Facts panel, so consumers do not need to calculate the amount of iron supplied by various forms of iron supplements."From: http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iron-HealthProfessional/

Is this a heme or non-heme source iron supplement?
What is the source of the iron?

Best Answer:  It's a trademarked form of iron called Ferrochel. It says it's "Vegetarian friendly." In my experience, it does all that it claims to.From the Web site:Ferrochel's many unique attributes support its superior role as an iron supplement in humans. These include:Small, stable molecule with no ionic chargeDoes not react with other nutrientsBioavailable (easily absorbed)SafeLess gastric upset. . . Albion's Ferrochel does the stomach’s work in advance by binding minerals to amino acids resulting in small, organic chelated iron molecules that can pass easily through the intestinal wall.There's a lot more about it at the manufacturer's site: albionferrochel

Do this iron make you constipated? I just started taking this and I feel constipated

Best Answer:  Results can vary for each individual. We suggest speaking with your doctor regarding the best iron supplement for you - Theresa K. (VS)

Is there any soy in this product?

Best Answer:  This item contains no soy.

Why was rice extract blend, rice brand extract used?  What are the benefits, what are the problems with using this as I cannot find anything online about these specific ingredients and this product.

Best Answer:  The other ingredients listed for this supplement including rice extract blend are what the capsule shell containing the supplement is made from. This ingredient does not contribute to the supplements' efficacy, but is simply used in creation of the vegetarian capsule shell.
