Composition 

Ferrocal Forte ® is composed of an advanced formula providing essential micronutrients for optimal support of Erythropoiesis , prevention and treatment of  Iron deficiency  (depleted iron stores )and mild cases of  Iron deficiency Anemia . 

Ferrocal Forte includes Iron in its highly absorbable and Bioavailable form as Microencapsulated  Liposomal  ferric Pyrophosphate , Zinc and Copper as Bisglycinate Amino Acid Chelates , the biologically active forms of B9 and B12

(Methytetrahydrofolate & Methylcobalamin) , along with vitamin B6 in addition to

vitamin D3 and Vitamin C.  

• Microencapsulated liposomal Ferric Pyrophosphate

A new technology for Iron delivery providing iron  enclosed within a liposome optimizing its absorption capacity and rate  that was similar  to Iv iron   and inhibiting iron oxidation or  direct contact with intestinal mucosa  inhibiting  irritation or inflammation or interaction with dietary inhibitors this unique delivering of  iron  offers the key to optimal patient compliance and adherence to treatment specially to those who are not compliant with conventional iron salts or suffering  from Inflammatory Bowel Disease.  

• Methyl Tertahydrofolate

The Biological Active form of folate offers superior  bioavailability and absorption compared to traditional  folic acid  ensuring effective replenishment of RBCs folate , and better metabolism of homocysteine , Specially in patients with MTHf  Polymorphism,  with methyltetrahydrofolate  supplementation no accumulation of unmetabolised folic acid or masking of vitamin B12 Deficiency symptoms , methylfolate is the optimal form of vitamin B9 for  pregnant women and women of childbearing age to protect against Neural tube defects and Anemia .    

• MethylCobalamin

The Biological Active Form of vitamin B12 considered essential for the formation of RBCs , DNA , RNA biosynthesis ,metabolism of Homocysteine  and  it is crucial for the health of the brain and the proper functioning of  neurological system. Methylcobalamin has been more well-known recently as a nootropic vitamin because of its propensity to improve mental clarity, focus and cognition. 

• Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It plays many important roles in the formation of RBCs , Biosynthesis of DNA and neurotransmitters.

• Zinc Bisglycinate  

Amino Acid chelated form of zinc providing better absorption and bioavailability of zinc compared to traditional zinc salts , zinc Deficiency usually co-exist with Iron deficiency and have been shown to excacerbate the symptoms of Anemia and zinc supplementation have shown to improve hemoglobin levels , Moreover Zinc act as a cofactor for more than 200 enyzmes essential for vital biochemical reactions within  the body involved in protein synthesis , energy production , immune function and wound healing .  

• Copper BisGlycinate  

Amino Acid Chelated form of copper providing better absorption and bioavailability of Copper compared to traditional copper salts  , copper is critical for optimal iron absorption and metabolism as Low copper content is associated with anemia and the appearance of enlarged mitochondria in erythropoietic cells , copper is Essential for collagen , melanin  production  and  bone health .

• Vitamin D3

Recent studies have shown a correlation between anemia and vitamin D deficiency  specially in anemia of chronic diseases due to its role in inhibiting   pro-inflammatory cytokines and hepcidin levels  , vitamin D provides a synergistic effect with erythropoietin hormone a hormone that stimulate erythropoiesis process within bone marrow.

• Vitamin C

It enhances the intestinal absorption of iron. In addition, researches have indicated the role of vitamin C in the synthesis of several important hormones and neuro-transmitters, folic acid metabolism, immune function, antioxidant function and wound healing.
