Sideral

Sideral is an advanced iron supplement utilizing Sucrosomial technology, which coats iron pyrophosphate in a phospholipid and sucrose ester matrix. This protection ensures the iron passes through the stomach intact to be absorbed in the intestine, significantly reducing gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, constipation, and stomach pain while maximizing bioavailability.
