Ferosom Forte
Ferosom Forte is an advanced liposomal iron supplement formulated with Vitamin C. It utilizes proprietary liposomal microencapsulation technology to protect the iron through the gastric environment, allowing for direct absorption in the intestine. This significantly increases bioavailability while preventing common gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation, nausea, bloating, and metallic taste.
