Iron Bisglycinate is a highly absorbable and well-tolerated form of iron commonly used to support healthy iron levels, red blood cell production, oxygen transport, and energy metabolism. Compared with many traditional iron supplements, iron bisglycinate is less likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and constipation.

Iron is essential for brain development, cognitive function, immune health, and normal growth.

Potential Benefits

• Supports healthy iron levels
• Promotes red blood cell production
• Supports oxygen transport throughout the body
• Helps reduce fatigue associated with iron deficiency
• Supports cognitive function and attention
• Promotes healthy brain development
• Supports normal immune function
• Helps maintain healthy energy production
• Supports growth and development

How It Works

• Provides highly bioavailable iron for absorption
• Supports hemoglobin and red blood cell formation
• Improves oxygen delivery to tissues and organs
• Supports cellular energy production
• Helps maintain normal neurological function

Why It Is Helpful in AN Protocol

For autistic children and adults, as well as individuals with PANS/PANDAS and neuroimmune disorders:

• Helps correct iron deficiency and low ferritin levels
• Supports attention, learning, and cognitive function
• May help reduce fatigue and low energy
• Supports healthy neurological development
• Promotes overall growth and metabolic health
• Supports immune system function

Key Mechanism

Iron Bisglycinate supports health primarily through:

• Hemoglobin production
• Oxygen transport
• Cellular energy production
• Brain and nervous system support
• Correction of iron deficiency

Suggested Use

Typical dose: 25 mg daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Important

• Iron supplementation should ideally be guided by laboratory testing, including ferritin, iron saturation, and complete blood count (CBC).
• Vitamin C may improve iron absorption.
• Avoid taking iron simultaneously with calcium, magnesium, zinc, or high-fiber supplements, which may reduce absorption.
