Composition
Chelated complex of iron bisglycinate (calculated as elemental iron 20 mg).
Pharmaceutical form
Dispersible tablets.
Properties of components
A chelated form of iron bisglycinate in Multizan® Ferrum’s composition is a highly effective and digestible iron as a part of the chelated complex. Due to the chelated form, the mineral more easily penetrates through the intestinal wall and is absorbed without disturbing the mineral and ionic balance of a cell. Iron in the form of a chelated complex is characterized by high bioavailability, excellent tolerance and safety. It does not irritate the gastric mucosa, does not cause constipation and nausea, does not stain tooth enamel, does not cause a metallic taste in the mouth. Iron bisglycinate does not interrupt the absorption of other minerals and nutrients due to an ionically neutral molecule.
No harmful or allergenic excipients are used in Multizan® Ferrum, therefore, it can be intended for any category of patients: children, adolescents and adults, as well as women during pregnancy and lactation. Cocoa allergy is an exception, as a natural cocoa flavor is used for dispersible tablets.
