NICAPUR® Ferroverde® 21 – Iron from natural fermentation with Vitamin C from Acerola

Additional product information

NICAPUR® Ferroverde® 21 is a food supplement for targeted iron supply in cases of increased need. The formula combines iron from a fermented source with natural vitamin C from the acerola fruit.

Each capsule contains 530 mg MyccoFerrin® complex with 21 mg iron. The iron contained is produced with the help of the Koji fungus Aspergillus oryzae through a special fermentation process. The formula is complemented by acerola fruit juice powder, which provides natural vitamin C.

Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, to normal oxygen transport in the body and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron and thus complements the targeted iron supply.

Iron – Important for blood formation and oxygen transport

Iron is an essential trace element that the human body cannot produce itself.

The body of an adult contains approximately three to five grams of iron. A large part of this is contained in the haemoglobin of the red blood cells.

Haemoglobin enables the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the various tissues and organs.

Myoglobin, an oxygen-binding protein of the muscles, also contains iron.

An adequate iron supply is therefore important for numerous normal body functions.

Iron for energy and less fatigue

Iron contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.

In cases of insufficient iron supply, the iron stores can decrease. A pronounced iron deficiency can impair the formation of haemoglobin and lead to iron deficiency anaemia.

Tiredness and exhaustion can have various causes. In cases of persistent complaints, a medical clarification should therefore be obtained.

MyccoFerrin® – iron from fermentation

NICAPUR® Ferroverde® 21 contains the MyccoFerrin® complex.

This consists of acerola fruit juice powder and iron-enriched Aspergillus oryzaepowder.

The ULTIMINE™ iron contained is produced with the help of a special fermentation process.

Aspergillus oryzae, also known as koji mold, has been used for centuries in the fermentation of various foods.

The process enables the production of an iron source that is used for food supplements.

The formulation is designed for good tolerability. However, individual tolerability may vary.

Vitamin C from acerola – supports iron absorption

Acerola (Malpighia emarginata) is a tropical fruit known for its natural vitamin C content.

Vitamin C improves the absorption of non-heme iron in the digestive tract.

Through the combination with acerola fruit juice powder, NICAPUR® Ferroverde® 21 supplements iron intake with a natural vitamin C source.

When can additional iron intake be beneficial?

An increased iron requirement or an increased risk of insufficient iron intake may exist in the following situations, among others:

• In women with heavy menstrual bleeding

• During pregnancy and breastfeeding

• In children and adolescents during growth phases

• With a vegetarian or vegan diet

• With intensive physical activity

• With insufficient iron intake through the diet

Whether additional iron intake is necessary depends on individual requirements and existing intake.

If iron deficiency is suspected, laboratory tests, in particular a blood count and ferritin, can help with the assessment.

The formulation contains 530 mg MyccoFerrin® complex per capsule.

This contains 21 mg of iron as well as acerola fruit juice powder as a natural vitamin C source.

Important notes

Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

Iron supply: Long-term intake of high-dose iron preparations should be based on individual requirements. If iron deficiency is suspected, determining appropriate laboratory values is advisable.

Iron overload: In cases of hemochromatosis, elevated iron stores, or other disorders of iron metabolism, the preparation should not be used without medical advice.

Interactions: Iron can impair the absorption of certain medications, in particular levothyroxine, some antibiotics, and bisphosphonates. Appropriate dosing intervals must be observed.

Calcium preparations, coffee, and tea can reduce iron absorption. Staggering intake may be advisable.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the dosage should be adjusted according to individual iron requirements and medical recommendations.

In sensitive individuals, iron preparations can cause gastrointestinal complaints such as nausea, constipation, or diarrhea. Dark discoloration of the stool is possible.

Storage

Store at room temperature, dry, and protected from light. Protect from heat and keep out of the reach of small children.
