The Liposomal Iron Breakthrough (LIPOBOOST®)
Standard inorganic iron salts—such as ferrous sulfate, fumarate, and gluconate—dissociate rapidly in the acidic environment of the stomach into free ionic iron (Fe²⁺). Free ionic iron catalyzes free-radical generation, irritating the gastric mucosa and provoking nausea, constipation, and cramping.
In contrast, Ferrimune utilizes Liposomal Iron as Ferric Pyrophosphate (LIPOBOOST®, registered trademark of Sudeep Nutrition USA, Inc.). The elemental iron is encapsulated within a protective phospholipid bilayer envelope that shields it through the stomach. The liposome bypasses traditional DMT-1 transporters and is absorbed intact via endocytosis through intestinal mucosal cells and M-cells, directly delivering iron into the bloodstream with minimal mucosal contact.
Comparative Absorption & Dietary Protection
- Superior Cellular Bioavailability: Liposomal encapsulation protects iron from gastrointestinal destruction, delivering 29 mg elemental iron (100% ICMR RDA) directly to haematopoietic tissue.
- Protected from Food & Tea Inhibitors: Unlike conventional iron which binds heavily to dietary phytates, polyphenols, tannins, and calcium dominant in Indian diets, liposomal iron remains safely encapsulated and fully absorbable even when taken with meals.
- Exceptional GI Tolerance: Substantially gentler on the digestive system, eliminating the metallic aftertaste, gastric burning, and constipation typical of conventional iron therapy.
The Complete Haematopoietic Matrix
Iron alone cannot synthesize healthy erythrocytes. Bodylia integrates the full co-enzymatic haematopoietic pathway:
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid, 65 mg): Reduces ferric iron to bioavailable ferrous iron, maximizing non-haem iron cellular uptake and providing antioxidant membrane protection.
- Folic Acid (220 mcg DFE): Crucial for DNA synthesis during rapid erythrocyte cell division and healthy red blood cell maturation.
- Methylcobalamin (Active B12, 2.2 mcg): Essential enzymatic cofactor for folate recycling and myelin synthesis, specifically addressing the critical B12 deficit prevalent in vegetarian diets.
- Immune & Antioxidant Defense: Zinc Bisglycinate, Copper, Selenium, Alpha-Lipoic Acid (30 mg), and Beetroot Extract (50 mg) for total cellular vitality.
