FAQ

Ferosom Forte is a newer iron supplement with minimal side effects and has been shown to have similar absorption rates to certain doses of IV iron. This is all thanks to our unique formulation that combines liposomal iron with our proprietary LCE Coat™. Ferosom has 21-30 mg of elemental iron, a small amount but with one of the highest absorption rates for an oral iron supplement.

Liposomal form refers to an advanced nutrient delivery system that is known for boosting the benefits of supplementation and its high bioavailability. Ferosom's liposomal iron and LCE Coat™ work together to protect the iron from being broken down by stomach acid and bacteria. This ensures any of those unpleasant side effects like constipation, nausea and stomach pain are greatly minimized.

Our customers rarely experience any side effects. Ferosom Forte is formulated to be absorbed directly into your small intestine, significantly reducing the amount of unabsorbed iron in your stomach. This means there is a very low chance of experiencing gastrointestinal side effects like constipation, nausea and stomach pain. Based on multiple studies, it is reported that only 3% of people experience adverse side effects from oral liposomal iron.

Our dosage is lower than most iron supplements because Ferosom Forte comes in liposomal form. Liposomal form is an advanced nutrient delivery system that greatly increases absorption and bioavailability, so only a small amount is needed. In addition, coated liposomal iron has been clinically shown to have similar absorption rates to certain doses of IV iron.

Other iron supplements contain such a high dose (like 150mg) because only about 10% of the iron actually gets absorbed and results in a lot of ‘free floating iron’ in the stomach (unabsorbed iron). High doses of unabsorbed iron is what usually causes those unpleasant side effects.

Some customers begin to experience the benefits of Ferosom Forte within the first 4 weeks of taking it. However, this can vary from person-to-person and the severity of their iron deficiency. We recommend taking Ferosom Forte daily for at least 3-6 months to see an improvement in your iron levels.

Ferosom Forte capsules contain 30 mg of elemental iron and also include vitamin C for enhanced absorption. Ferosom Forte sachets contain 21 mg of elemental iron and include vitamins C, D, B6, B12 and folic acid.

It’s super important to us that both Ferosom Forte sachets and capsules are non restrictive and fit many different lifestyles. That’s why Ferosom Forte products are vegan (dairy-free), gluten-free, non-GMO, and halal.

No, there is no designated time to take Ferosom Forte. The best time of day to take it is when it’s most convenient for you and your lifestyle. If you are taking other medications, then you may want to take them a few hours apart, however, your healthcare practitioner will be able to advise you on whether or not that is necessary.

Most iron supplements do require you to avoid food/beverages that contain calcium or caffeine, however since Ferosom Forte is in liposomal form, absorption is not affected by calcium or caffeine. So go ahead and enjoy your morning coffee with Ferosom.

Yes, Ferosom Forte is a safe option to support healthy iron levels during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Iron is essential for a healthy pregnancy and can help prevent iron deficiency, premature birth, low birth weight, low milk supply, postpartum depression and other serious complications. As always, we also recommend speaking with your healthcare practitioner before making any dietary or lifestyle changes.
