FerroSolve by NBI is a professional-grade iron supplement designed to support healthy iron status, promote normal red blood cell production, and maintain healthy energy metabolism. This 30-capsule formula delivers a highly bioavailable, gentle form of iron that is well tolerated by individuals who experience gastrointestinal discomfort with standard iron supplements, making it a practical option for daily iron repletion under practitioner guidance.
Key Benefits of Bioavailable Iron and Synergistic Absorption Cofactors
- Iron (as Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate): A highly bioavailable chelated form of iron that is absorbed more efficiently than ferrous sulfate or ferric forms, and is significantly gentler on the gastrointestinal tract, reducing the constipation, nausea, and stomach upset commonly associated with standard iron supplements.
- Red Blood Cell and Hemoglobin Support: Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. Adequate iron supports healthy hemoglobin synthesis, promotes normal oxygen transport throughout the body, and maintains healthy red blood cell production in bone marrow.
- Energy Metabolism and Fatigue Reduction: Iron is a required cofactor for mitochondrial cytochrome enzymes involved in ATP production. Maintaining healthy iron status supports normal cellular energy metabolism and promotes healthy physical and cognitive stamina.
- Immune Function Support: Iron supports healthy lymphocyte proliferation and normal immune cell activity, maintaining the immune system's capacity to respond appropriately to environmental challenges.
- Cognitive Function and Neurotransmitter Activity: Iron is a cofactor for tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine and norepinephrine synthesis, supporting healthy neurotransmitter production and promoting normal cognitive function and mood regulation.
- Thyroid Hormone Metabolism: Iron supports healthy thyroid peroxidase activity, an enzyme essential for normal thyroid hormone synthesis, maintaining healthy metabolic rate and energy balance.
- Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid): Included as a synergistic absorption enhancer, Vitamin C supports the reduction of ferric iron to the more absorbable ferrous form and promotes healthy non-heme iron uptake in the digestive tract.
- Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin): Supports healthy red blood cell maturation and promotes normal DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells, working alongside iron to maintain healthy hematological function.
- Folate (as Methylfolate): The active form of folate that supports healthy red blood cell formation and promotes normal DNA synthesis, complementing iron's role in maintaining healthy hematopoiesis.
- Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate): Supports healthy heme synthesis as a cofactor for delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase, the first enzyme in the heme biosynthesis pathway, promoting normal hemoglobin production.
- Copper (as Copper Bisglycinate): Supports healthy ceruloplasmin activity, which is essential for normal iron mobilization from storage sites and healthy iron incorporation into hemoglobin.
- Lactoferrin: An iron-binding glycoprotein that supports healthy iron absorption regulation, promotes normal gut microbiome balance, and maintains healthy mucosal immune function in the digestive tract.
The form of iron in a supplement determines both how well it is absorbed and how well it is tolerated, and Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate has been shown in clinical studies to achieve superior absorption compared to ferrous sulfate at lower elemental iron doses, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects that cause many individuals to discontinue iron supplementation before achieving adequate repletion. FerroSolve goes beyond a simple iron supplement by including the full complement of hematopoietic cofactors including Methylcobalamin, Methylfolate, P5P, and Copper, which are required for healthy red blood cell maturation and hemoglobin synthesis alongside iron. This integrated approach addresses the multiple nutritional factors that contribute to healthy iron status and normal red blood cell production, rather than relying on iron alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FerroSolve used for?
FerroSolve is a bioavailable iron formula designed to support healthy iron status, promote normal red blood cell production, and maintain healthy energy metabolism. It is intended for adults who require iron supplementation under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner, particularly those who have experienced gastrointestinal discomfort with standard iron supplements.
How do I take FerroSolve?
Dosing should be directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner based on individual iron status and clinical need. Iron supplements are generally best taken on an empty stomach or with a small amount of food if gastrointestinal sensitivity occurs. Taking iron alongside a source of Vitamin C may further support absorption.
Ferrous Bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron in which the iron molecule is bound to two glycine amino acids. This chelation protects the iron from reacting with other compounds in the digestive tract, reduces the formation of free radicals in the gut lining, and allows the iron to be absorbed via a different transport pathway than non-chelated iron salts. The result is a form that is absorbed more efficiently at lower doses and causes significantly less gastrointestinal irritation than ferrous sulfate or ferric iron forms.
Should I have my iron levels tested before taking FerroSolve?
Yes. Iron supplementation should ideally be guided by laboratory assessment of iron status, including serum ferritin, serum iron, transferrin saturation, and a complete blood count. Taking iron supplements without confirmed deficiency or insufficiency is not recommended, as excess iron can accumulate in tissues and cause adverse effects. Consult your healthcare provider for appropriate testing and dosing guidance.
Can FerroSolve be taken during pregnancy?
Iron needs increase significantly during pregnancy, and iron supplementation is commonly recommended for pregnant individuals with confirmed iron insufficiency. However, the appropriate form and dose of iron during pregnancy should be determined by a qualified healthcare provider. Do not self-initiate iron supplementation during pregnancy without professional guidance.
Can FerroSolve interact with medications or other supplements?
Iron may interact with certain medications including thyroid hormones, fluoroquinolone and tetracycline antibiotics, and proton pump inhibitors, which can reduce iron absorption or be affected by iron's presence in the digestive tract. It is generally recommended to separate iron supplementation from these medications by at least 2 hours. Consult your healthcare provider before combining FerroSolve with any prescription medications.
