Ferrous Forte Somal 30 Capsules

Ferrous Forte Somal uses liposomal technology, in which iron is enclosed in a phospholipid shell. The shell carries iron past the stomach lining and releases it for absorption in the intestine, which greatly reduces nausea, constipation and metallic taste. Without enough iron the body cannot make enough haemoglobin, so less oxygen reaches muscle and brain. The result is tiredness, breathlessness on exertion and poor concentration. Vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot be stored, so immune cells rely on a regular supply. It is also the cofactor for collagen formation, which makes it important for skin, gums and wound healing.

The best iron supplement is the one you can tolerate for the three months it takes to rebuild your stores. Women with heavy periods, pregnant women, teenagers, vegetarians and regular blood donors lose or need more iron than diet usually supplies. Constant tiredness, pale skin, brittle nails, hair shedding and feeling cold are the typical signs.
