Iron is a vital mineral required for the production of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. It is also a component of myoglobin, which helps store oxygen in muscles. Iron supports muscle metabolism, connective tissue health, immune function, and hormone synthesis.
The most common cause of anemia worldwide is iron deficiency, leading to a condition called iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). Other types of anemia, unrelated to iron deficiency, include folate deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, and anemia of chronic disease.
Iron deficiency is one of the most widespread nutritional disorders, affecting approximately one in four people globally. It is more prevalent than many other chronic conditions and is often underdiagnosed and inadequately treated, despite its impact on energy, cognition, immunity, and quality of life.
Early intervention with well-absorbed oral iron formulations is key to reversing symptoms.
An estimated 1.62 billion people, or 24.8% of the global population, are affected by anemia.”

Iron-deficiency anemia symptoms usually start out mild but worsen over time.
They can include:
✓ Early signs often go unnoticed. Awareness and screening are essential for timely treatment.
Iron-deficiency anemia can be treated by the use of iron replacement / iron supplements in two ways:
► Oral Iron Supplements - capsules or liquid
► Iron Infusion - intravenous
Ionic Ferro X is a great choice for an iron supplement. It is a Liquid Bioavailable Iron for better outcomes and better compliance.
► 12mg of elemental Iron is an Ionic Fe²+ form – superior bioavailability. (recommended by WHO)
► Increases Hemoglobin Levels: Essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body, which helps to improve energy levels and overall health. Patients will feel the difference within 2 to 3 weeks period.
► Easy to Consume: More palatable with great taste of passion fruits + lemon. Liquid form makes it easier to consume than traditional iron pills.
► Gentler on the Stomach: Less likely to cause gastrointestinal issues like nausea and constipation.
► Better Absorption Rates: Enhanced formulation allows for more efficient absorption of iron, making it more effective.
► Enhance with Vitamin C: for improved absorption.
► Muslim-friendly, alcohol-free and vegan-free.
In a clinical evaluation, patients taking Ionic Ferro X showed an average increase of 67% in ferritin levels within 35 days, with the greatest improvements in iron-deficient patients — all without GI side effects.
Ferritin improved even during menstruation, supporting sustained iron absorption across patient types.
Backed by real-world data. Trusted by doctors.
► Iron-Deficiency Related: Anaemia, heavy menses, fibroids.
► Malabsorption Risks: GI disorders, CKD/dialysis.
► Others: Vegetarians, chronic fatigue
Ionic Ferro X is particularly suitable for patients who cannot tolerate or absorb traditional iron tablets effectively.
► Anaemia
► Heavy menstrual patients.
► Gastrointestinal Tract (GI) Disorder patients
► Chronic Kidney Disease & Dialysis Patients
► Hair loss, fatigue, vegetarian diets
Clinical data confirms that patients with the lowest iron stores respond
best to Ionic Ferro X — achieving 100–300% ferritin gains over 4–5 weeks.
Recommending a 21-day follow-up test helps monitor response and
improve adherence.

A1 : Iron supplements are often prescribed to treat iron deficiency anaemia, which occurs when your body doesn't have enough iron to produce adequate hemoglobin.
A2 : Take iron supplements on an empty stomach for better absorption. However, if they cause stomach upset, you can take them with a small amount of food.
A3 : Avoid taking iron with dairy products, caffeine, cocoa, high-fibre foods (cereals, oats, wholewheat flour) and calcium as they can inhibit absorption. Take Vitamin C (citrus juice) can be beneficial and enhance iron absorption.
A4 : Common side effects include stomach upset, constipation and dark stools. Drinking plenty of water and increasing fiber intake can help to manage these symptoms.
A5 : The duration depends on the severity of your deficiency. Typically, it takes a few months to replenish iron stores, please consult your doctor to provide specific guidance. Best to do a blood test before and after.
A6 : Hemoglobin level normally increases within 2–3 weeks of starting iron supplementation. You will be able to observe this from the blood test.
A7 : Yes. Most GPs who prescribe it say they won’t go back.
A8 : It has a pleasant taste of passion fruits and lemon, making it more palatable and easy to consume.
A9 : Yes. Ionic Ferro X uses an ionic Fe²+ liquid form shown to have superior bioavailability compared to standard ferrous salts, with fewer GI side effects.
A10 : We recommend baseline blood tests and a 21-day follow-up. Our team can provide templates and patient engagement tools.
A11 : Yes. A 35-day clinical study showed that patients using Ionic Ferro X achieved an average ferritin increase of 67%, with some patients improving by over 180%. Most results were visible by Day 21–35, even in menstruating women — all with excellent tolerability.
