WHAT ARE THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER QUALITIES IN AN IRON FOOD SUPPLEMENT?

THERE ARE ONLY TWO KINDS OF IRON THAT WE CAN USE, HEME AND NON-HEME IRON.

NON-HEME IRON IS FOUND IN PLANTS AND SYNTETHIC DRUGS. OPTIFER® CONTAINS HEME IRON BOUND TO BOVINE HEMOGLOBIN AS IN MEAT COURSES.

HEMOGLOBIN CONTAINING HEME IRON IS NATURALLY TAKEN UP AS A WHOLE UNIT EFFICIENTLY WITHOUT SIDE-EFFECTS.

1. THE CONCEPT IS EASILY GRASPED

absorption 15-25 %

Heme iron is easily absorbed as a whole structure with high

bio-availability.

Non-heme iron must be dissolved

before uptake. Because of low

absorption reactive free iron ions

remain in the gut and cause side-effects.

OPTIFER® HAS A DOSAGE OF ONE TABLET PER DAY, TAKEN AT ANY TIME.

OTHER SIMULTANEOUSLY INGESTED FOODSTUFF OR DRINK HAS NO EFFECT ON HEME IRON UPTAKE.

2. DOSAGE IS USER-FRIENDLY

3. THE CONCEPT HAS CLEAR BENEFITS

OPTIFER® IS NATURAL, NON-SYNTHETIC.

OPTIFER® HAS GOOD EFFECT IN IRON DEPLETION AND NO SIDE-EFFECTS, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN CHRONIC SITUATIONS.

THE EFFECT AND TOLERANCE WILL NOT CHANGE OVER TIME.

HEME IRON HAS BEEN USED IN LARGE SCALE IN SCANDINAVIA FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS.

NO SERIOUS SIDE-EFFECTS OR POISONINGS HAVE EVER BEEN REPORTED.

4. IT IS SAFE

HEME IRON THERAPY IS REASONABLY PRICED AND MUCH LOWER THAN FOR INSTANCE INTRAVENOUS THERAPY IN CHRONIC CASES.

SIDE-EFFECTS WILL NOT RUIN THE THERAPY. HEME IRON THERAPY HAS A MUCH HIGHER SUCCESS RATE DUE TO TOLERANCE THAN NON-HEME IRON THERAPY.

5. THE PRODUCT IS PRICEWORTHY

Swedish company FerroCare/MediTec has a strong commitment to reach

people suffering from iron deficiency, but have problems with

existing supplements.
