LipoFerin (Liposomal Fe+Cu+VitC+VitB2) caps. N30 Human Care

Iron is an essential trace element that plays many important roles in the body:

Contributes to the normal transport of oxygen in the body.
Contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
Contributes to normal metabolism and energy production.
Positively influences the nervous system, as well as the physical and intellectual functioning of humans.
Contributes to the maintenance of normal cognitive functions and reduces fatigue.
Plays an important role in the process of cell division.

Types of iron and their absorption

The key to maintaining an adequate level of iron is to obtain the correct amount through a balanced daily diet and, if necessary, through the administration of dietary supplements, as the body cannot produce iron on its own. However, it can be stored in hepatocytes (liver cells), muscles, and bone marrow. Also, iron is a micronutrient with very low absorption (the average absorption of iron is about 10% of the amount provided in the diet). The iron supplied through the diet comes in two types:

Animal-origin iron - mainly found in eggs, beef, and fish.
Plant-origin iron - especially found in legume seeds and green leafy vegetables.

Animal-origin iron is absorbed more easily than plant-origin iron. A balanced diet should provide us with 10-15 mg of iron, of which approximately 10% is absorbed into the bloodstream.

When is it necessary to use iron supplements?

Iron is a very important mineral essential for the proper functioning of the human body. It is worth administering it as a dietary supplement when there is a predisposition to iron deficiency.

Who can benefit from iron dietary supplements?

Infants, young children, and adolescents - A decrease in iron levels can occur in infants between 6 and 18 months physiologically due to the depletion of iron stores supplied in fetal life. Iron deficiency can also affect adolescents during puberty and growth due to its increased demand.
Women in the perimenstrual period - in case of heavy and prolonged bleeding.
Pregnant women - iron is crucial for women planning pregnancy for the correct development of the fetus's nervous system and overall well-being. During pregnancy, iron is extensively used by the fetus. Both during pregnancy and after childbirth, a woman's body needs to accumulate iron intensively.
Vegetarians, vegans - animal-origin iron is absorbed at a rate of almost 22%, while plant-origin iron only at a rate of 2-5%. Therefore, in a vegetarian or vegan diet, the amount of iron delivered to the body may be insufficient.
Blood donors - to recover faster from the losses suffered during donations.
Individuals who engage in intense training - during intense exercise, red blood cells are mechanically destroyed, increasing the need for iron.

What sets Liposomal Iron LipoFerin apart from other iron-containing products?

LipoFerin contains iron encapsulated in liposomes, which significantly improves its absorption and increases the effectiveness of the preparation. Liposomes ensure passage through the digestive system, allowing iron to be absorbed not only in the duodenum but throughout the entire small intestine. Studies have demonstrated an absorption rate of up to 500% higher compared to other administered iron formulas. The liposomal form of iron ensures a lower risk of digestive system side effects, typical for iron used in a traditional form, such as a metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and constipation.

Composition

Liposomal Fe (micronized iron pyrophosphate) – 14mg; Vitamin C – 80mg; Riboflavin – 1.4mg; Copper – 1mg
Vitamin C is included in the LipoFerin composition, acting as a catalyst for iron absorption.
Copper is important for the function of many enzymes. It is also involved in regulating metabolism, helping the body produce energy by combining with iron and producing red blood cells, bones, and connective tissues.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) contributes to the absorption and use of other vitamins and minerals: iron, folic acid, vitamins B1, B3, and B6. Vitamin B2 is necessary for the production of red blood cells. It helps transport oxygen to cells and use iron stores. When some people face riboflavin deficiency, they become more exposed to the risk of developing anemia.
