Ferosom Forte is a newer iron supplement with minimal to no 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 Forte 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 your patients don’t experience any of those unpleasant side effects like constipation, nausea and stomach pain.

Patients rarely experience any side effects. Ferosom Forte is formulated to be absorbed directly into the small intestine, significantly reducing the amount of unabsorbed iron in the stomach. This means there is a very low chance of experiencing gastrointestinal side effects like constipation, nausea and stomach pain.

The 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 150 mg) because only about 10% of the iron actually gets absorbed , resulting in a large amount of unabsorbed iron within the intestines. High doses of unabsorbed iron is what causes those unpleasant side effects.

Some patients 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 that patients take Ferosom Forte daily for at least 3-6 months to see a measurable improvement in their 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 your patient and their lifestyle. If they are taking other medications, then they may want to take them a few hours apart.

Most iron supplements do require patients 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 patients can go ahead and enjoy their morning coffee with Ferosom Forte.

Yes, Ferosom Forte is a safe option and often recommended to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. In fact, Ferosom Forte sachets are recognized by The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC). As always, we also recommend speaking with a healthcare practitioner before making any dietary or lifestyle changes.

At this time, we recommend Ferosom Forte for adults only. We recommend speaking with a healthcare practitioner for the best guidance on iron supplementation for your child.
