Key actives per serving
- Ferrous bisglycinate (as Ferrochel) providing Iron: 3.5 mg (19% DV)
- Cholic acid (from Ox Bile powder, standardized to minimum 45% cholic acid): 90 mg (ox bile powder; 45% cholic acid minimum)
How to take
Take 1 capsule once daily with water, ideally with a meal that contains some fat to support bile tolerance and nutrient absorption.
Ingredients explained
Ferrous bisglycinate (as Ferrochel) providing Iron
Iron supports red blood cell formation and oxygen transport, and the bisglycinate chelate is designed to enhance gentle absorption in the intestine.
Caution: Take away from high-calcium foods or supplements, as calcium may compete with iron absorption; may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people.
Cholic acid (from Ox Bile powder, standardized to minimum 45% cholic acid)
Bile acids emulsify dietary fats and fat-soluble nutrients in the small intestine, which may help micelle formation and nutrient absorption.
Caution: Use with meals containing fat for best tolerance; those with gallbladder or bile duct conditions should consult a healthcare professional because bile acids influence fat digestion.
How they work together
Cholic acid from ox bile helps emulsify fats and fat-soluble nutrients in the gut, which may support the intestinal uptake of minerals. Chelated iron provides an absorbable form of iron to complement nutrient intake.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you take medication or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with gallbladder or bile duct issues, digestive disorders, or iron overload concerns may need extra caution and should discuss with a healthcare provider before use.

- Promotes Healthy Digestion
- Supports Iron Absorption, Needed By Your Body To Transport Oxygen
- Science-Backed Quality Since 1969
Bile has had a long and integral history in the folk traditions of the world due to its role in digestion of fats and liver protection. In order for the body to be able to digest vitamins and minerals, enough bile must be present. Recent studies strongly suggest that bile is important for iron absorption. Adequate iron intake is especially important for the body, as it transports oxygen to our cells and without it we can become depleted. Now Swanson brings you Ox Bile, making the nutrition of iron more bioavailable. Delivers 45% cholic acid, which is the primary human bile acid. Ours is sourced from bovine, which is chemically similar to human bile, so it's easily recognized by and assimilated into our own bodies.
