Liposomal Iron

Liposomal iron is a daily supplement designed to gently and effectively increase iron levels, with a focus on improved absorption and digestive comfort.

Recommended course:
- For prevention: 1–3 months, 1 capsule per day
- For diagnosed deficiency: 2–3 capsules per day until ferritin levels normalize, followed by a maintenance dose (only after consultation with a doctor).

The effect will be noticeable if an iron deficiency is present at the start of supplementation.

Yes. It is recommended to take 1 capsule per day, 30 minutes before a meal, with water — ideally on an empty stomach or between meals for maximum absorption.
The liposomal form and iron bisglycinate, combined with MCT oil, are designed to be gentle on the gastrointestinal tract, even for people with a sensitive stomach.

Iron bisglycinate:
- is considered the gold standard of tolerability
- has proven high effectiveness
- is suitable for people with a sensitive stomach

When combined with a liposomal delivery system, this form provides higher bioavailability with minimal digestive burden.

To avoid reducing iron absorption, it’s best to separate iron intake by 1–2 hours (sometimes 2–4 hours) from foods or supplements that may interfere with absorption, including:

- tea, coffee, wine — contain tannins and polyphenols that inhibit absorption;
- dairy products — contain calcium, which can reduce absorption;
- minerals in high doses: calcium, magnesium, zinc (including electrolyte complexes);
- cacao and chocolate (oxalates and polyphenols), soy and soy products (phytates and protease inhibitors), whole grains and bran (phytates) — these can bind iron into insoluble complexes;
- certain medications such as antacids, proton pump inhibitors, antihypertensives, thyroid hormones (e.g., levothyroxine), and antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines);
- some herbal extracts and phyto-supplements (e.g., green tea extract, curcumin).

Yes. Blood loss during menstruation is specifically listed as a situation where the body has an increased need for iron support.

Liposomal iron in the bisglycinate form, combined with vitamin C and MCT oil, is designed for gentle digestion and is suitable for daily use, including during periods of increased iron loss.

Yes, but only with a doctor’s approval. Liposomal iron may be part of nutritional support during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but the decision on use and dosage must be made by a healthcare professional.

Liposomal iron is not recommended in cases of:

◦ hypersensitivity or allergy to any ingredient
◦ age under 18
◦ hemochromatosis (iron overload)
◦ disorders of iron metabolism, including:
∙ thalassemia
∙ sideroblastic anemia
(only under medical supervision)
◦ certain tumors that depend on iron for growth 
(oncologist consultation required)
◦ increased risk of oxalate kidney stones, as vitamin C can be metabolized into oxalates
◦ gastrointestinal conditions requiring caution, such as:
∙ Crohn’s disease
∙ ulcerative colitis
∙ gastritis with high acidity
∙ GERD
∙ peptic ulcer disease

In these cases, supplementation is possible only after consulting a doctor.

Side effects are possible, but according to current data, they occur much less frequently and are usually mild.

This form is considered one of the best tolerated oral iron supplements due to the combination of iron bisglycinate and liposomal encapsulation, which minimizes direct contact with the gastrointestinal lining.

Possible side effects common to iron supplements may include:
- nausea or vomiting
- abdominal pain
- constipation or diarrhea
- bloating
- heartburn
- darkened stools
- dizziness (rare)
- rash or itching (rare)
