Ferisome
Ferisome is a comprehensive iron supplement formulated with liposomal iron technology. This specialized delivery system wraps the iron in a phospholipid bilayer, enhancing its absorption in the intestines and significantly reducing gastrointestinal side effects like constipation, bloating, and metallic taste. It is enriched with key co-factors like Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, and Folic Acid to maximize red blood cell production.
