Solgar’s formula contains iron bisglycinate, a form of iron which is tolerated well by sensitive stomachs. Iron is a key mineral and essential nutrient, required by the body for many different biological functions. We should be able to achieve healthy levels of iron by consuming a normal healthy diet consisting of foods such as red meat, pulses, nuts, eggs, grains and leafy vegetables. However, there are times, particularly with those on restricted diets, such as Vegetarians, when we may need some additional support. Getting enough iron has been shown to reduce tiredness and fatigue and support healthy energy levels, something many are seeking due to modern lifestyles and natural aging. Iron also helps carry oxygen around the body to our active cells and tissues. In this way, iron contributes to normal cognitive function, normal energy-levels and supports a healthy immune system. Unfortunately, Iron can be quite harsh on the intestinal system so Solgar introduced Solgar Gentle Iron, which contains iron in bisglycinate form. This form is easy to absorb and gentle on the stomach. Solgar Gentle Iron - Iron Bisglycinate capsules are Kosher and suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians. 1 tablet a day provides 20 mg of iron in ferrous bisglycinate form, equalling 143 Percent of the Nutrient Reference Values. Taking 1 capsule a day will contribute to: • Normal cognitive function • Normal energy-yielding metabolism • Normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin • Normal oxygen transport in the body • Normal function of the immune system • Reduction of tiredness and fatigue • The process of cell division All Solgar products meet our industry recognized “Gold Standard” for excellence.

Review: Gentle, Effective & Easy on the Stomach - I’ve been very pleased with Solgar Gentle Iron (Iron Bisglycinate) 20 mg. The main reason I chose this one was because it’s designed to be gentle on the stomach, and it really lives up to that claim. Unlike other iron supplements I’ve tried, this one hasn’t caused constipation or stomach discomfort, which makes it much easier to take consistently. The capsules are easy to swallow, and I appreciate that they’re vegan, gluten-free, and clearly well made. The 180-capsule pack is excellent value and lasts a long time, which is ideal for regular supplementation. The quality feels exactly what you’d expect from Solgar — reliable, well-labelled, and trustworthy. Overall, this is a high-quality iron supplement that does its job without unpleasant side effects. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who needs iron but struggles with harsher formulas. Review: Reliable iron supplement - I’ve been using these iron capsules for a few weeks now and overall I’m really happy with them. I started taking them because I was feeling quite tired and low on energy, and I can already feel a gradual improvement. I haven’t experienced any discomfort or side effects so far, which I’ve had with other iron supplements in the past. I’ll definitely continue using them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable iron supplement. ## Features - ✓ UNIQUE FORM OF IRON Solgar Gentle Iron, which contains iron in bisglycinate form, is easy to absorb and gentle on the stomach 1 tablet a day provides 20 mg of iron in ferrous bisglycinate form, equalling 143% of the Nutrient Reference Values - ✓ GENTLE ON THE STOMACH Solgar Gentle Iron is ideal for those who find traditional iron supplements difficult to take and/or may cause bloating, constipation and digestive issues Solgar’s formula contains iron bisglycinate, a form of iron which is tolerated well by sensitive stomachs - ✓COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY - For over 70 years we've used 100% recyclable amber glass bottles - ✓ NATURAL WELLNESS - We believe that cleaner is better, we craft our vitamins and minerals in small batches to help ensure consistency and purity from bottle to bottle - ✓GOLD STANDARD - All Solgar products meet our industry recognized “Gold Standard” for excellence, made using naturally sourced ingredients and innovating since 1947 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00068X4IG | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Benefits | Iron Support | | Best Sellers Rank | 890 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 8 in Iron | | Brand | Solgar | | Brand Name | Solgar | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 10,324 Reviews | | Diet Type | Kosher, Vegan, Vegetarian | | Flavour | Unflavoured | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00033984012493 | | Item Form | Capsule | | Item Volume | 200 Millilitres | | Item Weight | 0.38 Pounds | | Item form | Capsule | | Manufacturer | Solgar | | Manufacturer Contact Information | PO BOX 207, York, YO91 1WS. | | Manufacturer Part Number | MP_1000016734 | | Model Number | MP_1000016734 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | Iron | | Primary supplement type | Iron | | Product benefits | Iron Support | | Supplement Formulation | Individual Supplement | | UPC | 033984012493 | | Unit Count | 90.0 count | | Unit count | 90.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Solgar - **Diet type:** Kosher, Vegan, Vegetarian - **Flavour:** Unflavoured - **Item form:** Capsule - **Item volume:** 200 Millilitres - **Item weight:** 0.38 Pounds - **Number of items:** 1 - **Primary supplement type:** Iron - **Product benefits:** Iron Support - **Unit count:** 90 count ## Images ![Gentle Iron 20 mg - 90 Veg Capsules - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qiyyTLZKL.jpg) ![Gentle Iron 20 mg - 90 Veg Capsules - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hKS5EH5lL.jpg) ![Gentle Iron 20 mg - 90 Veg Capsules - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BHMxyYMOL.jpg) ![Gentle Iron 20 mg - 90 Veg Capsules - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uCad94afL.jpg) ![Gentle Iron 20 mg - 90 Veg Capsules - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CtJ4XU6CL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why does description say 25 mg when all pictures say 20mg???** A: A 25mg version is available on the US market, so it looks as though Amazon have mixed up that description (as they operate internationally) with our 20mg version in the UK. It will be corrected, thank you **Q: Does this contain an egg component as im intolerant to it???** A: It says its suitable for vegans and vegetarian so it should not have egg in at all **Q: Do they course bloating?** A: I had constipation and bloating after 3 days and so reduced intake. The constipation continued so I stopped taking them. Others might have more luck. I find I can only take liquid iron as all tablets cause constipation for me. **Q: Does anyone know when this expires?!! Thank you** A: 10/23 the expiry date is on the neck of the bottle ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gentle, Effective & Easy on the Stomach *by J***A on 24 February 2026* I’ve been very pleased with Solgar Gentle Iron (Iron Bisglycinate) 20 mg.

No side effects! from 54.3µg/L to 99.9µg/L *by Z***K on 10 May 2025* My ferritin was at an alright level of 54.3µg/L, but I decided to increase it for further health benefits. I have been taking a mix of "iron and other supplements" for a year, but only during the day after meals. After a recent blood test I saw that my iron level has not moved at all in a year! I cannot highlight this enough - the only way to get iron absorbed is you need to take it in the morning on empty stomach with Vitamin C (at least 500?). I also have very sensitive stomach so had to try these ones. That's what I did for a week - I did take more than the recommended dose, but that was my choice. Just so it happened that I had another scheduled blood test at the end of that week and my iron level was now 56.3µg/L. Basically ferritin increased by 2µg/L in one week. Pretty confident this supplement did this and I will continue now with this approach until I get it to at least 100µg/L. Also, no stomach ache or other side effects! I will update my review when I do another blood test. 3/26 UPDATE: Just had a blood test, iron is 99.9µg/L !!! I'm super happy, hair seems to be growing much stronger and I never feel tired. For the comments who say "I've had it for a week and feel a great effect", these people are wrong. It takes ages and hard work to up the iron, further at least 3-6 months to see difference in hair (my dermatologist said you need +90 for good hair growth).
