Deliver oxygen to tired cells and rebuild essential mineral reserves with Solaray Iron 50mg. Formulated with an advanced Iron Amino Acid Chelate Complex and combined with traditional botanical aids, this high-strength formula delivers 278% of your daily iron needs in a form designed to be easy on digestion.
✔ High Potency: 50 mg elemental iron per single VegCap serving.Iron is an essential trace mineral that powers your body from the inside out. It serves as the primary building block for hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that picks up oxygen in your lungs and carries it to every tissue, muscle, and organ. Without adequate iron, your cells experience oxygen starvation, leading to persistent physical exhaustion, brain fog, cold sensitivity, and weakened immune defense.
Beyond blood health, iron is required for myoglobin (the oxygen-binding protein in muscle tissue) and plays an active role in cellular ATP (energy) production inside the mitochondria. If your body’s iron stores (measured as serum ferritin) drop too low, your physical output and mental sharpness decline rapidly.
Clinical Perspective: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), iron deficiency is the most common single micronutrient deficiency in the world. Supplementing with a targeted 50 mg dose helps replenish low ferritin levels and supports healthy red blood cell counts under the guidance of your healthcare provider.Common, low-cost iron supplements like ferrous sulfate frequently cause uncomfortable digestive problems, including severe constipation, stomach cramps, dark stools, and nausea. Why? Because inorganic iron salts ionize too early in the stomach, irritating the stomach lining and forming insoluble compounds that cannot be absorbed.
Solaray Iron 50mg solves this issue by binding elemental iron to amino acids in a stable chelated complex:
Solaray pairs its 50 mg chelated iron with a whole-food botanical base that has been valued by traditional herbalists for generations:
A classic botanical tonic traditionally used to encourage gentle digestive flow and support the body's natural absorption of plant-based minerals. It helps soothe the digestive tract while supplementing natural trace elements.
Prized for its natural concentrations of chlorophyll, vitamin flavonoids, and micro-minerals. Parsley provides clean nutritional co-factors that work synergistically with iron to support healthy red blood cells.
Because 50 mg represents a therapeutic strength (278% DV), this supplement is designed for individuals with elevated iron requirements or confirmed low blood levels:
Serving Size: 1 VegCap | Servings Per Container: 60
| Amount Per Serving | Amount | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Iron (from Iron Amino Acid Chelate Complex) | 50 mg | 278% |
| Herbal Base Parsley Leaf (Petroselinum crispum), Yellow Dock Root (Rumex crispus), Rice Flour |
* | * Daily Value not established |
Other Ingredients: Vegetable Cellulose Capsule and Ascorbyl Palmitate (fat-soluble Vitamin C).
Suggested Use: Use only as directed. Take 1 VegCap daily with a meal or glass of water.
Solaray Quality Commitment: Tested in state-of-the-art labs for identity, purity, potency, heavy metals, and microbes to ensure total safety and efficacy.
Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
Standard ferrous sulfate breaks apart easily in the stomach, where free iron ions can irritate your stomach lining and cause nausea, cramping, and constipation. Solaray Iron 50mg utilizes an amino acid chelate complex, which wraps the iron in organic compounds. This allows it to pass calmly through the stomach and absorb smoothly in the intestines with minimal gastric distress.
Chelated iron is widely recognized as a "gentle iron" because of its high bioavailability. Because a higher percentage of the mineral is absorbed rather than left unabsorbed in the intestinal tract, it is substantially less likely to trigger hard stools or constipation compared to standard drugstore iron pills.
Take 1 vegetarian capsule daily with a meal or a full glass of water. For enhanced absorption, take it with a source of Vitamin C (such as citrus juice). Avoid taking your iron supplement at the same time as calcium supplements, milk, antacids, coffee, or black tea, as calcium and polyphenols can bind with iron and decrease its absorption.
While individual results vary, many people notice improved physical stamina and reduced fatigue within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent daily supplementation. However, replenishing deep tissue iron stores (ferritin) typically takes between 2 to 3 months. We recommend having your doctor test your serum ferritin and complete blood count (CBC) to track your progress.
A 50 mg dose provides 278% of the Daily Value, making it a high-potency supplement. It is specifically formulated for individuals who have higher iron requirements (such as heavy menstrual bleeding, strict vegetarian diets, intense endurance athletics) or those addressing low iron levels under a healthcare professional's guidance. Individuals with conditions like hemochromatosis should avoid supplemental iron.
Parsley leaf and yellow dock root make up Solaray's specialized herbal base. In traditional herbalism, yellow dock supports digestive comfort and natural mineral assimilation, while parsley provides plant chlorophyll and complementary trace nutrients that enhance the overall nutritive profile of the formula.

This is a superb product! The iron is not reacted with ordinary yeast, so or milk proteins (the ones that are usually used when chelating minerals); instead, whole rice concentrate is used. Solaray uses special rice, and its amino acid content is about seven times higher than the ordinary rice!

There are a ton of supplements out there but this is one of the better ones I have found. Affordable and does the trick. Ive added it to part of my daily supplement plan and have no complaints. I intend on reordering and recommending to my friends. I didn't notice any taste or after taste and that is always a plus.
