Product Education:

RN Labs Fe-Restore is a pure and hypoallergenic source of highly absorbable iron.

Unlike other forms of supplemental iron, iron bisglycinate does not cause common side effects, and therefore provides optimum bioavailability and ease of prescribing.

Absorption + Minimal Side EffectsCompliance with iron supplementation, especially among pregnant women, is poor, due in part to the commonly associated side effects.

Iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy affects 12% of pregnant women in Australia, and is associated with an increased risk of prematurity, low birth weight, and maternal morbidity.

Out of 453 women using iron supplements, containing various forms of iron (ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulfate, ferric polymaltose, and ferric bisglycinate), during pregnancy, almost half (45%) reported at least one adverse effect (particularly constipation and nausea).

Ferric bisglycinate was associated with the fewest side effects (21.2%), compared to ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulfate, which caused the most (56.3% and 53.7%, respectively). 83 women discontinued their prescribed iron preparation, mainly due to side effects. Compliance rates were the highest for the ferric bisglycinate, due to it’s favourable absorption and tolerance characteristics.

What makes Fe-restore different from comparator products?The highly absorbable form of iron, the low price point and the absence of complex excipients (i.e. high purity and quality) of the formula are the key advantages.

Do you need vitamin C to improve absorption of the Iron? This concept is relevant to food sources of iron. In Fe-restore the iron is in a bisglycinate form, therefore already chelated to support optimal absorption, and does not require Vitamin C.
