Iron Protein Succinylate

Iron protein succinylate may be the most effective oral supplement for correcting iron deficiency anemia (IDA). IPS is a proprietary form of ferric iron (Fe+++) bound with a chemically modified protein (casein) in a process called succinylation, which dramatically stabilizes the complex. This process is responsible for the specific way in which IPS is totally dependent on pH for absorption. Because IPS is insoluble in the stomach, it completely bypasses the stomach without exposing the gastric mucosa to iron. This is the optimal method to transport iron where absorption takes place €“ the duodenum. Here, IPS becomes completely soluble in the duodenum, where the pH level allows for rapid hydrolysis of the protein component, and liberation of the elemental ferric iron for immediate absorption. IPS is the only iron compound that provides this proven, highest degree of tolerability. Since IPS provides a steady, controlled release of iron in a low concentration form, the iron overload is nearly impossible.

Iron supplements should not be given in cases of peptic ulcers and inflammatory bowel disease because iron can have a corrosive effect and exacerbate these conditions. Blood transfusion recipients and sufferers of thalassemia, hemochromatosis and hepatitis should also avoid iron supplements. Iron preparations by injection may cause a flare-up of rheumatoid arthritis.
