Olimp Labs Chela-Ferr® Forte

The latest generation, hypoallergenic iron in the form of amino acid chelate – Ferrochel® in increased doses in combination with folic acid, vitamins C, B6, B12 – is an effective and safe source of iron to maintain normal iron levels and reduce iron deficiency in women during pregnancy.

Ferrochel® is a unique organic iron-amino acid compound with clinically proven and confirmed effects:

• very high bioactivity – significantly better iron absorption and controlled use throughout the body compared to other inorganic iron compounds, it is absorbed unchanged in intestinal mucosal cells;
• high bio-efficacy – even at low doses – rapidly increases plasma hemoglobin and ferritin levels, as well as total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), rapidly increases iron reserves in the body of people with iron deficiency without signs of iron overdose;
• physiologically controlled absorption of iron – the absorption of iron from iron chelate in the body is physiologically regulated depending on the level of iron in the body, which is inversely proportional to the level of ferritin in the blood plasma, thus minimal possibility of iron overdose;
• good tolerability – does not cause gastrointestinal irritation, unpleasant side effects provided by the special chemical structure of iron chelate (Jeppsen, 2001; Allen, 2002);
• hypoallergenic, safe to use – does not cause allergic reactions (GRAS certificate, U.S. Patent No. 7,838,042)
• no interaction with food or other vitamins and minerals – can be taken at any time and with other vitamins / minerals;
• Kosher (Parve-Kosher) and GMO-free certificates, for vegans and vegetarians, to use when opening the capsule and pouring out its contents.

Adequate iron level during pregnancy plays an important role in the health of women and the unborn baby, because iron promotes the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin and ensures the normal transport of oxygen in the body. In addition, iron ensures the normal functioning of the immune system and helps reduce fatigue and fatigue, ensuring a normal energy metabolism.

Folic acid promotes normal blood production and promotes the formation of maternal tissue during pregnancy. Supplementation with folic acid improves the status of maternal folate. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor for the development of neural tube defects in the fetus. The beneficial effect is achieved by daily intake of 400 g of folic acid for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.

Vitamins B6, B12 promote the formation of red blood cells and promote the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin C improves iron absorption.
