Maryruth Organics Iron

Maryruth Organics Iron is a vegan‑friendly dietary supplement that delivers a bio‑available form of elemental iron, most commonly ferrous bis‑glycinate chelate. Its primary purpose is to replenish systemic iron stores, supporting hemoglobin synthesis and overall cellular oxygen transport. The product is marketed as a gentle, non-constipating alternative to traditional ferrous sulfate preparations.

• Active Ingredient: The active ingredient is ferrous bis‑glycinate (iron(II) bis‑glycinate), an iron‑amino‑acid chelate with the empirical formula C₄H₈FeN₂O₂.
• IUPAC Name: Its IUPAC name is bis(2‑amino‑acetate)iron(II).
• Chelation Process: The chelation creates a six‑coordinate octahedral geometry where the Fe²⁺ ion is coordinated by two glycine ligands via the carboxylate oxygen and amine nitrogen, forming a stable, water‑soluble complex that resists precipitation in the acidic gastric environment.
• Stability: The chelate’s stability constant (K_f ≈ 10⁶) contributes to its high bio‑availability and low gastrointestinal irritation compared with inorganic ferrous salts.

• Ingredient Source: Maryruth Organics sources its iron from high‑purity, food‑grade ferrous sulfate that is subsequently chelated with glycine derived from non-genetically‑modified, plant‑based sources.
• Chelation Process: The chelation process occurs under controlled pH and temperature to ensure complete complexation and to eliminate heavy‑metal contaminants.
• Quality Control: The final product is tested by third‑party labs for elemental iron content, heavy‑metal limits (≤ 10 ppb lead), and microbial purity, meeting USP and FDA dietary‑supplement guidelines.
• Manufacturing Standards: The company emphasizes sustainable sourcing and GMP‑certified manufacturing to ensure consistent potency and safety.
