INSIGHT

How Sucrosomial Iron Works

  • Sucrosomial iron uses iron pyrophosphate protected by phospholipid and sucrose-esters to avoid gut oxidation and inflammation.
  • The protected form targets transferrin and preserves the microbiome during GI transit.
ADVICE

Follow Tiered Dosing For Repletion

  • Start with one capsule daily (30 mg sucrosomial iron) for routine repletion and increase under medical supervision up to 4 capsules if severe anemia.
  • This product claims high bioavailability so dosing can be lower and better tolerated than iron salts.
INSIGHT

Much Faster Correction With Sucrosomial Iron

  • Clinical data showed sucrosomial iron corrected anemia in about six weeks versus six months for other oral irons at equal elemental iron.
  • Faster hemoglobin response reflects much higher effective absorption and delivery to bone marrow.
