The Best Iron Supplement You Haven't Tried Yet: Why Core Med Science's Liquid Liposomal Iron Stands Out

An iron supplement is your best prevention or treatment strategy for iron deficiency, the most common nutrient deficiency globally. Yet, many people shy away from iron supplementation because they feel nauseous or constipated when they take it. If you can relate, we can't wait to tell you about Core Med Science and how our supplements are different.

Core Med Science Liposomal Iron - Capsules is a gentle, effective, and highly absorbable liquid iron supplement. It's a science-backed and physician-formulated formula utilizing liposomal technology, not just fancy marketing.

Who Needs an Iron Supplement?

The body is constantly making new red blood cells. Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin in red blood cells and myoglobin in muscles, which transport and deliver oxygen through the body. Iron, as part of this process, allows for cellular respiration and energy production. Without enough iron, you not only feel tired, but can develop iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia, affecting growth, neurological development, and body processes. (Source 1)

Humans must obtain iron from food, and if you don't get enough, you may need to supplement. Vegetarians and vegans fall into the category of not eating enough more often than omnivores, because animal foods, especially red meat and shellfish, are good sources of absorbable heme iron. (Source 1)

You might also consider iron supplementation if:

• You've been diagnosed with iron deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, or have low ferritin (iron storage) levels.
• You are pregnant, as iron needs increase during pregnancy.
• You are an infant or a young child, more at risk for iron deficiency. Pediatricians recommend iron-rich first foods.
• You've lost a lot of blood from blood donation, heavy menstruation, childbirth, or surgery.
• You have gut issues, such as celiac disease or have had bariatric surgery, that decrease iron absorption.
• You have a chronic disease that causes anemia. (Source 2)

It's important to note that too much iron supplementation carries risks, too. It can affect mineral balance, cause gastrointestinal side effects, and increase inflammation. An overdose of iron supplements can cause serious health issues and even be fatal for children and pets.

Iron Supplements and Side Effects

As you can see, many people may benefit from iron supplements, but the best iron supplement is the one you will tolerate and take, which can be hard to come by.

"As you can see, many people may benefit from iron supplements, but the best iron supplement is the one you will tolerate and take, which can be hard to come by."

Most iron supplements are difficult to tolerate. They are poorly absorbed, which requires high dosages for the desired effects. The unabsorbed iron stays in the gut and may cause side effects, particularly digestive issues.

Side effects from standard iron supplements used at the recommended dosages may include:

• Black stools
• Constipation
• Nausea
• Stomach pain
• Stained teeth (from standard liquid iron supplements) (Source 3, 4)

Side effects may be worse for those with sensitive stomachs, including pregnant women experiencing morning sickness.

We know that supplementation improves iron status, but how can we achieve this safely without side effects? (Source 2)

The Best Iron Supplement

At Core Med Science, we've solved the issues of poor absorption and tolerance by encapsulating iron in phospholipid liposomes. These fatty structures mimic the body's cell membranes, which allows for more comfort in the digestive tract, improved absorption, and greater bioavailability. Further, you can obtain effective results at lower dosages.

Core Med Science Liposomal Iron - Capsules provide all the benefits of liquid iron, but in a capsule without the metallic taste or risk of stained teeth.

In a study of patients with chronic kidney disease, oral liposomal iron increased blood iron levels similarly to intravenous (IV) iron over three months. The researchers concluded that liposomal iron supplements are a safe alternative to more expensive, invasive, and inconvenient IV therapy. (Source 5)

While iron deficiency remains a global issue with many populations at risk, the simple solution of iron supplementation isn't so simple because of the high rate of uncomfortable side effects. Core Med Science Liposomal Iron - Capsules lets you skip the side effects and go straight to the benefits so you can feel more energetic and like yourself.
