MediTec FerroCare DivisionIron is the most abundant mineral on
this planet, yet we often have problems with it.
We can do something about this.
Iron deficiencyThe WHO defines iron deficiency as the
most common and widespread nutritional disorder in the world and
believes that one way to respond to the challenge of iron deficiency is increased
intake of iron through food and supplements.
(http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/ida/en/)
There is a large need for well-tolerated and efficient iron supplements in the worldVirtually all oral preparations on the market are
synthetic non-heme iron based which are notoriously low in both efficacy and tolerance.
Ferrous sulphate, Ferrous gluconate and Ferrous bis-glycinate, and even intravenously
given iron all have drawbacks in practical dosage, price and potential side-effects.
MediTec FerroCare DivisionMediTec International FairLife Group is a Swedish company producing and marketing oral natural iron food supplements.
The division FerroCare handles product innovations, research, manufacturing and marketing of the OptiFer® series of iron supplements.

Heme iron has been on the market extensively in Scandinavia since 1975 with literally millions of users and no serious side effects or cases of poisoning reported.
Two kinds of ironThere are only two kinds of iron that we can use: heme iron from meat, poultry or fish and non-heme iron from vegetables, dairy products or chemically bonded iron in supplements.
Heme iron supplements have a considerably higher uptake and tolerance compared to any other form.
