Ferfer is a food supplement containing iron pyrophosphate microencapsulated in liposomal form with essential, vitamins including Vitamin C and Vitamin B12. Ferfer directly dissolves in the mouth without the need for water. The technology of liposomal microencapsulation, allows daily iron supplementation without any of the typical side effects of conventional oral iron supplements, such as heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, nausea and discolouring of the mucous membranes and of the stools, which increases patient compliance. It has no metallic taste or smell, does not discolour mucous membrane and has excellent tolerability. Besides the excellent tolerability, microencapsulat- ed iron allows a greater and more rapid absorption of iron which raises hemoglobin and ferritin levels rapidly.
