Description

Many healthcare providers recommend taking an iron supplement if you’re low on this essential mineral. But form matters. Some iron capsules aren't very bioavailable, so you don’t absorb and utilize much of what you take. And most forms of iron are hard on the digestive tract, causing constipation and GI upset. Enter Ferritin+®, a plant-based ferritin-iron made with organic peas. Ferritin is a naturally protein-coated form of iron found in legumes that allows for timed release and efficient absorption, which helps to minimize digestive upset.

The Easiest Way to Build Iron
  • Easy on your stomach – non-constipating
  • Easy for your body to absorb – unique absorption mechanism efficiently delivers iron right where your body needs it, when it needs it
  • Easy to take – just 1 capsule per day
  • Easy 20 mg of elemental iron per dose
  • Finally, an iron supplement that’s Easy to take everyday
How Ferritin+® Works:

Ferritin is a highly bioavailable iron supplement. Because this form of iron moves easily through the digestive tract, it doesn’t lead to constipation or the other common side effects of iron supplements. Each ferritin molecule is packed with iron atoms and uses a unique pathway of absorption, unlike any other form of iron. Ferritin iron consists of a protein ‘cage’ that protects the iron through the digestive tract and protects your digestive tract from the iron as well. It’s what allows for a slow release and absorption over time, eliminating the need to add absorption co-factors such as vitamin C, etc.

Clinical studies have shown that plant-based ferritin iron capsules can effectively maintain healthy iron levels. Support your energy levels with Ferritin+.

    Safe on stomach and gut.

    I have Celiac, gut issues and gastritis. Regular iron was extremely harsh in my stomach. But I’m anemic and really needed an iron supplement. I was so scared to take this but I did and I’ve been taking it for a month. I’m so so happy that it’s so easy on the stomach and has helped me with energy. So happy with this and I agree the packaging is a bit challenging to pop out the capsule. But it’s not going to stop me from taking this.

    Good, except

    I hate the packaging. Too hard to open. Why don't you sell them in a bottle instead?

    Hi there! We have a diagram for how to open them and a video too. The trick is that they are childproof which means you cannot peel them open while the sheet of pills is intact. If you cut the squares out, they will all easily peel from the cut side!

    Actually works.

    I have always been an athletic female with a tendency to be anemic or on the cusp of being anemic, which led me to develop neutropenia due to my low iron levels. This in turn led me to always feeling exhausted, light headed, and getting sick easily.
    I have tried several iron supplements and they either don't work, hurt my stomach, or make me feel nauseous.
    Upon taking Flora Ferritin + for 3 months I finally have normal ferritin and neutrophil levels. I am shocked and grateful. No longer feeling lethargic and I'm not getting sick all the time all while having a happy stomach!
    Very happy and grateful for this product. Please don't stop making it.

    Not Your Traditional Iron Supplement

    This is not your traditional iron supplement. This is all I ever wished for my iron supplements were like one day.
    I have been anemic my whole life and finding a good iron supplement was usually a struggle.
    I love that Ferritin+ can be taken at any time of the day, even on an empty stomach or while consuming dairy products, without decreasing its absorption or causing me GIT issues.
    After I stopped using my iron supplements, I found my ferritin levels as low as 22�g/L, leaving my body extremely fatigued and often dizzy.
    I had to go back to supplementing. Luckily, I was introduced to Ferritin+. After 7 days of taking 40mg of Ferritin+, my blood levels reached 34�g/L.
    Energy improvement was noticeable already after two days of taking Ferritin+.
    So grateful for this gem. No more fatigue!

    Does coffee and dairy affect absorption of Ferritin+?

    FloraHealth Canada

    Hi Anya,

    Thanks for asking. They should not interfere.

    While you are correct to keep sources of tannins like coffee and strong calcium sources such as dairy away from most iron intake, since coffee for example has been shown to block up to 80% of iron uptake, and calcium typically competes with iron for absorption, this should not occur with our product.

    Ferritin+ has been tested in clinical studies and we found that minerals like calcium and many anti-nutrients found in food such phytates that typically block iron absorption did not have any effect on the uptake of Ferritin+.

    Therefore, I don't believe that will negatively impact the absorption.

    This difference is being attributed to the different manner of absorption used (receptor mediated endocytosis) compared to other forms of iron (DMT-1 transporter).

    Thanks,
    Flora Health

    what is a few hours ?how many ?is 2 hours ok?

    FloraHealth Canada

    Hi Barbara,

    Thank you for asking.

    Typically in English, we interpret 'a couple' as two and 'a few' as three. However, using these terms in place of numbers often suggests deliberate vagueness and more flexibility than firmness.

    But - the direction to take this before or after other medications and health products does not come from Flora, but rather from Health Canada. Therefore, I cannot with 100% certainty tell you their meaning.

    It is somewhat vague, perhaps in part intentionally, because it is a generic instruction given by Health Canada on all iron products and is not reflective of the performance or requirements of individual products.

    They would have put it there because other forms of iron which they are more familiar with WOULD compete with or interfere with the absorption of medication or supplements like calcium - any products absorbed in the same part of the gut.

    But, this concern around the timing with 'other health products' is not coming from our end, however, because our Ferritin+ product actually uses an entirely different absorption mechanism.

    Studies carried out with Ferritin+ actually found that because it uses a separate absorption channel, and isn't absorbed where other minerals get absorbed, it really is not hindered by any foods or supplements when taken alongside them and does not seem to compete with other forms of iron either.

    Therefore, since the Ferritin+ will be fine regardless, it would be best to defer to the instructions that might come with your other products.

    For example - if you take a medication and it - or the prescribing health professional directing you on its use - has a clearer instruction for you, you should follow that. For example, many thyroid medication instructions will say to wait 30 minutes, or the doctors prescribing them sometimes say to wait 2 hours, before taking iron.

    Following any such instructions is always going to be the best thing.

    All the best,
    Flora Health

    What food is best for absorption of flora ferritin?

    FloraHealth Canada

    Hi Anya,
    Our studies showed that there are no special or additional cofactors needed for our product to work or be absorbed.
    Additionally, they showed that no minerals or food compounds disrupted its absorption. That includes the ones likes tannins, phytates, calcium etc that normally do interfere with iron.

    Therefore, you may eat or drink anything you wish and the product absorption and use will not be affected.

    Best,
    Flora Health
