Ferosom Forte is a ferric pyrophosphate iron that is micro-encapsulated in Liposomal form with our proprietary LCE coating.
This breakthrough formulation allows for maximum absorption across the entire small intestine via endocytosis (when cells take the whole iron element and absorb it). This unique pathway limits the amount of free floating-iron, resulting in minimal gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances like constipation, nausea and stomach pain.

Typical iron supplements must be converted in the stomach from Ferric to Ferrous, and are absorbed in the stomach and early parts of the intestinal tract. These iron products are often receptor dependent and impacted by hepcidin, food, beverages and only have about a 10% absorption rate.
Ferosom Forte’s liposomal iron and proprietary LCE Coat work together to protect the iron from harsh acids while it’s being transported to your small intestine to be absorbed. The liposomes (tiny fat-soluble bubbles that encapsulate the iron) mimic the structure of your cell membranes, which allows for enhanced intestinal and cellular absorption.
