Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Rate and the Extent of Iron Absorption of an ODF Iron Supplement vs an Iron Supplement in Capsules

IBSA Iron ODF is a food supplement based on ferric pyrophosphate and folic acid in orodispersible film. IBSA Iron ODF appears as a yellow, opaque, homogeneous film, without visible particles. Once taken, it dissolves on the tongue and can be swallowed without adding water.

Sideral® r.m. contained in SiderAL® FORTE is an iron protected with Sucrosomial® Technology which passes through the gastric environment intact and is absorbed in the intestine, thus preventing any irritation and discomfort to the stomach. The presence of Vitamin C facilitates the absorption of iron.
