What is Ferosom Forte’s formulation?

Ferosom Forte is a Ferric Pyrophosphate in liposomal form with a protective LCE^TM coating.

Ferric Pyrophosphate: Iron must be in ferric form to bind to transferrin for transportation in the blood.
LCE^TM Coat: Lecithin emulsifier coat that protects the liposome from gastric environment.
Phospholipid Bilayer: Hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail creates liposome structure around the iron for absorption as ferric.

Iron transport pathways

Clinical studies

Explore the literature

In a pilot study, oral sucrosomial iron was shown to have similar absorption as IV iron.

30 mg

of oral sucrosomial iron had a similar absorption rate as 125 mg IV iron (ferric gluconate) after 12 weeks in patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia.¹

In a clinical study, liposomal iron was shown to be effective at increasing iron levels.

8 weeks

of daily supplementation with microencapsulated liposomal iron significantly increased Haemoglobin levels to 12.77 g/dl and Haematocrit levels to 38.95 g/dl.²

In a randomized clinical trial, it was found that liposomal iron is safe and well tolerated.

3.1%

of patients taking oral liposomal iron experienced adverse effects compared to 30% of patients with non-liposomal iron.³
