What does it do?

Ferric maltol is a complex that contains iron and is an inorganic preparation that supplies iron in the body. It is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia. This ingredient stabilizes iron and helps with its absorption.

In the body, ferric maltol releases iron slowly to provide the necessary iron for erythrocyte production in the blood. This enhances oxygen transport capacity and improves anemia symptoms.
