Heme Iron 11 mg by Proferrin® – Highly Absorbable Iron Support | 30 or 90 Tablets

Key Benefits

• Supports healthy hemoglobin and red blood cell formation

• Highly absorbable heme iron for maximum effectiveness

• Causes significantly fewer digestive side effects than non-heme iron

• Helps prevent and treat iron deficiency

• Absorption not influenced by food intake

What It Does

Proferrin® Heme Iron provides a naturally sourced, highly absorbable form of iron that helps support red blood cell production, energy levels, and healthy oxygen transport. Unlike traditional non-heme iron supplements, Proferrin® is absorbed efficiently through dedicated receptors in the small intestine, allowing for better tolerance and fewer gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation or nausea.

Description

Proferrin® is an innovative iron supplement made from heme iron polypeptide (HIP), derived from bovine hemoglobin. Heme iron has superior bioavailability compared to plant-based non-heme iron and can be absorbed up to 10× more effectively than conventional iron salts like ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate.

Because heme iron absorption is not significantly affected by food, stomach acid, or common dietary inhibitors, Proferrin® can be taken with or without meals—making it one of the most convenient and tolerable iron supplements for daily use.

This formula is ideal for individuals at risk of iron deficiency, including women with heavy menstrual cycles, pregnant patients (with medical supervision), those with chronic illness, athletes, and individuals with low iron due to diet or malabsorption.

Who Is It For?

Proferrin® is ideal for adults who:

• Have iron deficiency or symptoms of low iron

• Experience fatigue, dizziness, headaches, or poor concentration

• Struggle to tolerate non-heme iron supplements

• Have digestive issues affecting iron absorption

• Require consistent iron support due to menstrual loss, chronic illness, or increased physical demands

How It Works

Heme iron is absorbed through a dedicated receptor (HCP1) located in the small intestine, allowing for efficient uptake without relying on stomach acidity or competing minerals.

Non-heme iron, in contrast, uses non-specific transport pathways that often lead to GI discomfort and poor absorption.

Proferrin®’s unique mechanism means:

• Better absorption

• Fewer GI side effects

• Improved patient adherence

• Faster replenishment of iron stores
