What is liposomal iron?

Liposomal iron: is a technological process for storing iron inside what is known as a liposome.

A liposome is a type of membrane whose function is not only to coat the iron, but also to resemble the structures of cell membranes.

The purpose of liposomal technology is to increase its bioavailability. In this way, the body will be able to absorb it more efficiently.

It also helps prevent or reduce certain adverse effects that iron supplementation may cause, such as nausea, vomiting, a metallic taste, etc.

The absorption of liposomal iron is very good, and gastrointestinal problems resulting from its use are very uncommon. Thus, this type of formulation also means that it is not necessary to take it together with vitamin C.

• High bioavailability
• Lower likelihood of experiencing unwanted effects from taking it.
• Easy to take.
• Eliminates the need to take iron on an empty stomach or with certain foods to enhance its absorption
• Plays an essential role in oxygen transport and hemoglobin production.
• Facilitates the formation of myoglobin, the compound responsible for storing oxygen within muscle tissue.
• Is responsible for the production of red blood cells,
