Iron Deficiency: A Natural Treatment

According to the WHO (World Health Association), 600-700 million people in the world
suffer from iron deficiency.

This makes it the most widespread nutritional deficiency and anaemia is one of the
most common nutritional disorders resulting from conditions in the industrialized world.

A deficiency of iron can lead to premature births and is responsible for lack of proper
development and capacity of intellectual and psychomotor abilities.

Sideropenic anaemia, or iron deficiency, often causes tiredness, fatigue, headache, depression, lowering of the body’s organic defences, hair loss, cloudy and fragile nails, paleness of skin and mucous which, in turn are caused by:

Insufficient intake of iron with food (daily requirement increased during pregnancy and nursing, and during growth years of children);
Increased loss of Iron (heavy menstruation, undiagnosed bleeding of ulcers, with diverticulosis and ulcerated polyps, with the rupture of varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and with episodes of nose bleed);
Low absorption of Iron assumed (lack of vitamins and minerals, intestinal problems regarding mucous absorption, low absorption in the elderly and Celiac Disease).

Liposomal Iron: Innovative Technology and Maximum Bio-Availability!

Current research has brought about important technological innovations able to create a form of highly bio-available iron, by coating it in iron pyrophosphate - a salt that has excellent bio-availability and which does not irritate intestinal mucous - inside a liposomal structure.

Liposomal Microencapsulation:

Liposomal Microencapsulation: the Excellent Tolerance of LipoCoated™.

Liposomes, also called liposomal vesicles, are hollow microspheres formed by one or two lipid layers. They are clinically interesting because of their membrane whose structure, composition and proportions is similar to those of human cells. There are used as innovative and efficacious structures for pharmaceuticals and active substances in general. Due to their lipophilic characteristics, which makes them easily absorbable by membranes, they are an ideal carrier for many types of drugs, vitamins and minerals. In particular, LipoCoated™ Iron is made up of a complex of liposomes of soy lecithin (non-genetically modified) which contain and seal iron within.
The liposomal complex has a similar structure to that of phospholipidic cell membrane: the latter, in contact with the lipophilic structure of liposomes, becomes more fluid and as such increases absorption of iron inside each single vesicle.

Lecithin increases bio-availability of iron pyrophosphate via very precise mechanisms.
	Penetration into phospholipid bilayer of intestinal cells;
	Fluidification of phospholipid membrane;
	stimulation of conformation changes of proteic iron carriers;
	stimulation of active absorption of iron.

This new microencapsulation technology of iron salts eliminates the usual collateral effects associated with iron intake:

it does not irritate mucous;

Moreover:

no gastralgia or irritation of gastro-intestinal tract;

it does not cause diarrhea or constipation;

resistant to acidity of stomach and other components of digestive processes: remains in tact until it reaches duodenal and jejunum enterocytic walls;

iron pyrophosphate, Fe3(PO4)2, is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) in the USA for use in children’s food supplements; it is used in the EU as a substance with specific nutritional purposes (2001/15) and in Infant Formulas (91/321);

absence of typical taste and smell of iron;

Gluten-free;

no pro-oxidative effect on vitamins and fatty acids;

GMO-free.

it does not interact with other substances;

it does not colour or stain teeth.

A combination of trace elements, minerals and B group vitamins that are actively involved in many fundamental metabolic processes facilitate the rebalancing and maintenance of intestinal bacterial flora.

Trace Elements and minerals

Iron: Iron is fundamental for intense production of haemoglobin especially in cases of fatigue. A lack of iron can lead to a low rate of haemoglobin in the blood, and consequently, anaemia.
Zinc: A lack of zinc can lead to a deficit in enzyme activity. It protects the cells from oxidative stress.
Magnesium: Magnesium is present to a large extent in our bodies: more than half is in the bones. It is a cofactor of numerous enzymes which use ATP and other triphosphate nucleotides. It is recommended in the treatment of mood disturbances, anxiety, for pre-menstrual symptoms and gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Phosphorous: Phosphorous is involved in the metabolism of calcium and consequently has a fundamental role in all syndromes linked to this biochemical process.
Calcium: It has a structural role in that it is present for 99% as phosphates in bone tissue. It is to be found in extracellular liquid while in a minor quantity in cellular cytoplasm.

Vitamin B Complex

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): regulates energy from glucose. A lack of this component can lead to neurological dysfunction.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): acts an intermediary in the transfer of electrons in many redox reactions of the respiratory chain.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): this vitamin complex is transformed in vivo into pyridoxal phosphate, a co-enzyme in numerous reactions of transamination and the decarbonating process of amino acids.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): it has a fundamental enzymic role in the nervous system. A lack of cobalamin can manifest itself through neurological disturbances.
Vitamin PP (niacin): it is involved in the synthesis of selected hormones and is essential to growth.
Panthothenic Acid: it is the precursor to Co-enzyme A, which is indispensable for cell life, both for microorganisms and for all vegetable and animal tissue.
