MOLTITUDO® FERROSA | Liposomal Iron, Pure Vitamins and Trace Elements | Energy Reserve and Deep Nutrition | 30 capsules 450 mg

FERROSA is designed for men and women who want targeted nutritional support during periods of increased iron and micronutrient requirements.

It may be particularly suitable for:
• periods of tiredness and fatigue;
• reduced dietary iron intake;
• vegetarian or vegan diets;
• intense physical activity;
• nutritional support for erythropoiesis;
• needs related to daily vitality;
• maintenance of energy metabolism;
• nutritional support in contexts characterized by increased oxidative stress and conditions associated with low-grade chronic inflammation.

MOLTITUDO® FERROSA is formulated to support the body at times when the flow of vital energy slows down or requires a protective boost.

It is the ideal choice for:

• Women of childbearing age: to compensate for blood loss due to the menstrual cycle and maintain constant iron stores.

• Those following vegetarian and vegan diets: plant-based iron (non-heme) is structurally more difficult to absorb. This formula provides the perfect enzymatic cofactors to optimize its biological utilization.

• People with gastrointestinal sensitivity: for those who have previously had to discontinue iron intake due to cramps, nausea, or gastric heaviness.

• States of increased requirements or reduced intake: periods of severe psycho-physical stress, chronic fatigue, study, or intense physical activity in which cellular oxygenation requires targeted support.

It is recommended to take 1 capsule daily, at any time of day.
If taking other medications (tetracyclines, quinolones, levothyroxine, antacids), it is recommended to leave at least 3 hours between doses.

Vegetable capsule

Maximum Tolerability and Gastric Comfort: Liposomal technology prevents iron from coming into direct contact with the stomach lining, eliminating irritation.

Superior and Synchronized Absorption: The simultaneous presence of liposomal vitamin C reduces iron to the ferrous state (Fe2+), making it immediately soluble and bioavailable in the intestinal lumen.
Support for Hematopoiesis: Iron, synergistically supported by folic acid and vitamin B12, stimulates the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, helping to counteract masked or combined anemias.

Say Goodbye to Tiredness and Fatigue: Optimizes energy metabolism and oxygen transport to tissues, restoring clarity and vitality.

Antioxidant and Immune Shield: The synergy between vitamins E and K2, zinc, and selenium protects cells from oxidative stress (mitigating the radical reactions of free iron) and supports immune defenses.

Ferrosa was created to support the body's natural iron metabolism through a formulation designed to promote targeted and comprehensive nutritional intake.

Iron is a micronutrient involved in numerous essential biological processes and contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, the normal transport of oxygen throughout the body, and normal energy metabolism.

The formulation is designed to help maintain daily vitality and meet nutritional needs during life stages when iron requirements may need greater attention.

The Moltitudo approach emphasizes the synergy between selected micronutrients and an essential composition focused on the quality of raw materials.
Ferrosa is part of a holistic view of well-being that considers energy, metabolism, and blood physiology as interconnected systems.

The goal is to support the body's natural balance through simple, plant-based nutritional support free from unnecessary ingredients.

The formula follows the Moltitudo philosophy: vegan formulations, no preservatives, a focus on tolerability, and the selection of highly pure active ingredients to support continued use when indicated.

What is Ferrosa?
Ferrosa is a food supplement formulated to support the normal metabolism of iron and maintain the body's physiological energy balance.

What is Ferrosa used for?
Ferrosa is designed to support the normal supply of iron and support the physiological processes involved in the formation of red blood cells, energy metabolism, and oxygen transport.

Why is iron important for the body?
Iron contributes to the normal formation of hemoglobin, oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue when present in adequate amounts as determined by nutritional physiology.

Does Ferrosa contain only iron?
Ferrosa was developed with a formulation approach focused on the synergy between selected micronutrients and the quality of the raw materials to support iron metabolism.

Why is liposomal iron better than regular iron?
Traditional iron (such as ferrous sulfate) comes into direct contact with the stomach, often causing nausea, acidity, cramps, or constipation, and has low bioavailability. The liposomal iron in MOLTITUDO® FERROSA is coated with a phospholipid membrane that protects it and guides it intact to the intestine, ensuring absolute gastric tolerance and significantly superior absorption.

What is the liposomal Vitamin C in the formula used for?
Vitamin C acts as an essential biochemical cofactor: it reduces iron from the ferric state to the ferrous state, the only soluble form that our intestinal cells can easily absorb. Liposomal encapsulation increases its stability and plasma concentration, enhancing this synergy.

Can I take MOLTITUDO® FERROSA if I am vegan or vegetarian?
Yes, the product is certified 100% Vegan. The capsule is plant-based, and all micronutrients, including Vitamin D3 (extracted from natural lichen) and Iron, contain no animal derivatives. It is particularly recommended for those following this dietary style to support the absorption of non-heme iron.

Does MOLTITUDO® FERROSA have contraindications with other supplements or foods?
Liposomal technology reduces interference with food. However, in cases of severe deficiencies, it is advisable to avoid consuming coffee, tea (due to tannins), chocolate, or dairy products (rich in calcium) immediately before or after taking the supplement, as they may limit iron absorption. If you are taking anticoagulant medications, consult your doctor due to the presence of Vitamin K2.

Is Ferrosa vegan?
Yes, Ferrosa follows the Moltitudo philosophy, focused on essential plant-based formulations and attentive to compositional quality.
Does Ferrosa contain preservatives or unnecessary additives?
No. The Moltitudo philosophy prioritizes formulations free from unnecessary industrial excipients, with a focus on simplicity and formulation purity.

When should I take Ferrosa?
1 capsule at any time of day.
Does Ferrosa replace a balanced diet?
No. Food supplements do not replace a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle, but rather fit into an overall nutritional strategy.

The formulation of Ferrosa was developed to support the physiological metabolism of iron, promote normal erythropoiesis, and contribute to the prevention and nutritional treatment of conditions associated with iron deficiency, such as iron-deficiency anemia, increased requirements (pregnancy, sports activity, growth), reduced dietary intake (vegetarian and vegan diets), and increased blood loss.

The synergy between liposomal iron, liposomal vitamin C, B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin A (β-carotene), vitamin K2, vitamin E, zinc, and selenium is supported by numerous experimental and clinical evidences.

The complete composition of the product includes liposomal iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12, zinc, vitamin E, vitamin K2, selenium, vitamin D3, β-carotene, vitamins B6, B2, B1, and folic acid.

The scientific literature supports the use of the nutrients present in Ferrosa in the main conditions characterized by increased requirements or reduced iron availability:
• iron-deficiency anemia and reduced hemoglobin;
• low ferritin and depleted iron stores;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding (as indicated by the doctor);
• women with heavy menstrual bleeding;
• vegetarian and vegan diets, in which non-heme iron has lower bioavailability;
• endurance athletes with increased erythrocyte turnover;
• elderly people with reduced dietary intake;
• chronic inflammatory states characterized by increased hepcidin and reduced iron availability;
• nutritional support in patients with hypothyroidism associated with iron deficiency, given the role of iron as a cofactor of thyroid peroxidase (TPO).
