Iron Bisglycinate
Selected for its defined chelate structure, high elemental-iron contribution and suitability for solid supplement formats such as tablets and capsules.
Encapsulated Iron
BioFerr® Encapsulated Iron
THE NUTRITIONAL OBJECTIVE
Supporting iron availability and healthy serum iron status begins with delivering iron to the intestinal region in a protected, formulation-compatible form. BioFerr® combines selected iron sources with a dual-layer carrier system designed for that journey.
Protected transitHelps limit direct interaction with the gastric environment.
Intestinal deliveryDesigned to carry the iron core toward the principal site of absorption.
Formulation flexibilityTwo complementary iron sources for different product-development needs.
How the Dual-Layer System Works
FeSelected iron coreBisglycinate or pyrophosphate, chosen according to the formulation goal.
01Primary layerNon-GMO phospholipids form the first interface around the iron source.
02Protective layerHPMC and maltodextrin reinforce the structure during gastrointestinal transit.
→Intestinal regionThe carrier is designed to increase interaction with the intestinal environment.
Why These Iron Sources?
Ferric Pyrophosphate
Selected for its favorable organoleptic profile and compatibility with a broader range of taste-sensitive formats, including gummies, sachets, powders and liquids.
Measured at Every Level
A complementary analytical set is used to define morphology, particle behavior, surface charge, molecular interactions and crystalline structure.

Designed for the Gastrointestinal Journey
In the stomachThe dual barrier is designed to reduce direct contact between the iron core and the gastric environment.
In the intestinal regionThe carrier structure is designed to support delivery where iron absorption principally occurs.
For regular useLimiting early direct contact is a formulation strategy intended to support gastrointestinal tolerability.
