Canada-based Natural healthcare solutions provider Szio+ has debuted Ferosom Forte, a new iron supplement, in the US.

Ferosom Forte features advanced liposomal technology and an LCE Coat to deliver enhanced iron absorption and reduce common side effects like constipation.

Szio+ launched Ferosom Forte following the acquisition of distribution rights with United Pharma for North America.

Each capsule contains 30mg of elemental iron, enhanced with vitamin C to boost absorption. The capsules are designed for a once-daily dosage without a metallic taste.

Szio+, which is also known for its pelvic health brand, Utiva, has priced a bottle of 30 capsules at $44.99.

Additionally, the sachet version of Ferosom Forte provides 21mg of elemental iron per serving and is fortified with vitamins C, D, B6, B12, and folic acid.

The berry-flavoured powder can be dissolved directly on the tongue or mixed with food and beverages. A pack of 30 sachets is also available for $44.99.

Szio+ claims that both forms are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and halal. Additionally, the products are manufactured in Canada at a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-approved site.

Szio+ co-founder Faraz Nomani said: “We are at the forefront of innovation with new ways of taking iron.”

Ferosom Forte utilises a liposomal delivery system that directs iron straight to the intestines, avoiding the stomach.

The approach preserves the iron’s efficacy, improves absorption, and reduces side effects.

Additionally, the LCE Coat provides extra protection, helping to alleviate common issues such as constipation and nausea.

Szio+ co-founder Derek Oh said: “Recognised by gynaecologists across North America, especially for patients who struggle with daily iron intake due to side effects,”

 “Ferosom Forte is endorsed by the Society of Obstetrics and Gynecologists in Canada (SOGC).”

A survey of 500 Canadian users revealed that 88% reported no side effects from using Ferosom Forte, the natural healthcare solutions provider said.

Furthermore, the liposomal formula remains effective even when consumed with caffeine or calcium, allowing for flexible usage.

The iron supplement is available on the firm’s website and Amazon.
