Pharmacological properties
The action of SideAL Forte is determined by the properties of the active substances included in its composition:
- liposomal iron: microspheres (Ø 20–30 nm), enclosed in liposomes, the phospholipid membrane of which is similar in composition to cell membranes. The internal space of liposomes contains iron pyrophosphate, which is more resistant to damaging external influences, including the destructive effects of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). At the same time, iron itself also much less damages the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, and its negative effect on the body as a whole decreases. Liposomes have a unique ability to transport up to 100% of the iron contained in them to the hematopoietic organs (bone marrow) or to the place of its temporary deposition - the liver;
- Vitamin C: helps to improve the absorption of iron and protect cells and tissues from the effects of free radicals, plays an important role in strengthening immunity and collagen synthesis.
In combination, these components provide a therapeutic effect in various iron deficiency conditions and prevent anemia.
