FerOvance could be of benefit for —

FerOvance is an Oral Iron Supplement that contains Red Blood Cell Boosting Vitamins and Minerals such as Chelated Iron (Ferrous Bisglycinate), Active Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate), Active Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), Active Folate (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate known as Vitamin B9) and Vitamin C.

FerOvance is formulated to assist in Iron Deficiency Anemia and Nutritional Deficiency Anemia.

FerOvance uses the Active Forms of the Vitamins and Minerals as these forms, unlike synthetic forms do not need to be broken down by the body and can be used by the body immediately.

FerOvance could be of benefit for the following persons –

Anemia – FerOvance can be useful for Iron Deficiency Anemia or even a B-Complex Deficiency (Nutritional Deficiency Anemia).
Menstruation – Young girls who start menstruating sometimes have very heavy menstrual periods and it may be beneficial for them to start taking an Iron Supplement such as FerOvance to prevent the development of fatigue.

Blood Donors – Blood donors who regularly donate blood may benefit from taking an Iron and B-Complex Supplement such as FerOvance to boost the production of their healthy red blood cells.
Malabsorption Syndromes (Lactose Intolerance, Crohn’s Disease, Celiac Disease, Gastric Bypass or Resection) – Some diseases, medical conditions or even genetics may prevent your body from absorbing certain vitamins and minerals effectively. FerOvance therefore makes use of metabolically active B-Complex Vitamins and a Chelated Form of Iron to enhance the absorption of these Vitamins and Minerals in cases of a compromised gastro-intestinal tract.
Pregnancy – Some pregnant women notwithstanding taking a Pregnancy Supplement, still develop Anemia due to the increased “Iron Demand” by their bodies. In these cases of Pregnancy-related Iron Deficiency Anemia, it may be beneficial to supplement with an additional Iron Supplement such as FerOvance.
Vegans and Vegetarians – Some vegan and vegetarian diets may not contain enough Iron to ensure the development of Healthy Red Blood Cells. FerOvance is a vegan-friendly iron supplement.

Each FerOvance pack contains a 30-day supply of:

30 x White Hard-gel Capsules (Vegan-friendly)

Take one Capsule daily with a meal, or as prescribed by your Healthcare Professional.

Helpful Tips for when taking an Iron Supplement:

Do not take your oral Iron Supplement with tea, coffee, or a high fibre meal as this may impair Iron absorption.
It is recommended that you take your oral Iron Supplement with a glass of orange juice as Vitamin C assists with Iron Absorption.
Do not take your oral Iron Supplement on an empty stomach as this may cause nausea.
Take your Iron Supplement at least 2 to 3 hours before or after taking any chronic medication that you may be on.

Calcium & Collagen for Bone Strength and Flexibility

FerOvance is an Oral Iron Supplement that is formulated to assist in Iron Deficiency Anemia and Nutritional Deficiency Anemia by containing Chelated Iron, Active Vitamin B6, Active Vitamin B12, Active Folate and Vitamin C.

Why choose FerOvance and what are the benefits?

FerO₂vance has been formulated with Chelated Iron and Active B-Complex Vitamins which are essential for the formation of healthy red blood cells. FerOvance contains a Chelated Form of Iron, Active Vitamin B6, Active Vitamin B12, and Active Folate which are all in their most bioavailable forms to increase their absorption in the small intestine. FerOvance covers a wide range of Anemias (Iron Deficiency Anemia as well as Nutritional Deficiency Anemia) because of its comprehensive and convenient formulation.

FerOvance is an Oral Iron Supplement that can also be used in the 2nd and 3rd Trimesters of Pregnancy in the case of diagnosed Pregnancy Related Anemia. In your 2nd and 3rd Trimesters of Pregnancy, the blood volume doubles and in some cases a woman can become anemic. It is in these cases of Anemia, that your Gynaecologist / OBGYN or Healthcare Professional may recommend that you take an additional Iron Supplement like FerOvance together with your Pregnancy Supplement like Stellar-Mama or Preggy-Mama.

FerOvance contains Amino Acid Chelated Iron (Ferrous Bisglycinate) – the chelated Iron is in the ferrous form for optimal oral Iron absorption. Chelated Iron does not bind to inhibitors in the stomach, thus enhancing its absorption. Chelated Iron also causes fewer gastrointestinal disturbances (like nausea, constipation, and black stools) than conventional Iron salts found in many other oral Iron Supplements.

FerOvance contains Methylated B-Complex Vitamins such as Folate (Vitamin B9 as 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) and Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) in their Active Forms. The body can absorb and utilise these activated Vitamins and Minerals faster than synthetic forms, to support Red Blood Cell production.

FerOvance also contains 250 mg of Vitamin C to enhance Iron absorption.

FerOvance also makes use of vegan-friendly capsules and is a suitable Iron Supplement for Vegetarians and Vegans.

What to look for in an Oral Iron Supplement

If you are looking for the best Oral Iron Supplement you need to look out for the type of Iron used as well as any other complementary nutrients such as Folate, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C that are in the Oral Iron Supplement that assist in Red Blood Cell Formation.

Oral Iron Supplements are available in liquid, tablet, or capsule form and are retailed under their Iron salt names such as Ferrous Sulphate, Ferrous Fumarate, Ferrous Gluconate and Ferrous Bisglycinate. Each Iron salt has a different elemental value of Iron, which means the amount of Iron that is available to be used in the body in that Iron salt varies. Conventional oral Iron salts are infamously known for causing gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, constipation, and black stools! Ferrous Sulphate in particular is associated with a significant increase in gastrointestinal-specific side effects.

Chelated oral Irons like Ferrous Bisglycinate are often the preferred oral Iron form as this form of Iron salt has less gastrointestinal (GI) side effects and is softer on the stomach.

Oral Iron Supplements are used to treat Anemia. Anemia occurs when either the level of Red Blood Cells or the level of Haemoglobin in your body is lower than normal. This means your body does not have enough oxygen. Anemia can have many causes, including certain diseases or conditions, medications, as well as nutrient deficiencies in Iron, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and Folate.

If possible, try and choose an Oral Iron Supplement that makes use of Active or Natural Form Vitamins instead of Synthetic Vitamins. Active or Natural Form Vitamins are easier for the body to absorb and utilise than Synthetic Vitamins. Examples of Active Form Vitamins are –

Vitamin B6: Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate instead of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (synthetic)
Vitamin B12: Methylcobalamin instead of Cyanocobalamin (synthetic)
Folate: 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate instead of Folic Acid (synthetic)

Taking an Oral Iron Supplement with added Vitamin C has been shown to enhance Iron absorption, which is why it is often recommended that you take your Iron Supplement with a glass of orange juice. If the Iron Supplement you choose already has Vitamin C in it, then you can give the orange juice a miss!

Interesting Facts:

Nutritional Deficiency Anemia (NDA) is caused by a lack of some nutrients, namely Iron, protein, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and other Vitamins and Minerals that are needed for the formation of healthy Red Blood Cells. Folic Acid (synthetic form) or Folate (natural active form) Deficiency is a common association of Nutritional Deficiency Anemia and Iron Deficiency Anemia is the most common nutritional disorder. FerOvance contains not only Iron but also B-Complex Vitamins and therefore can be used for both an Iron Deficiency or a Nutritional Deficiency Anemia.

Anemia is a very common blood disorder that results from a reduction in either the number of Red Blood Cells or the amount of Haemoglobin that can be carried in the Red Blood Cells. Red Blood Cells use haemoglobin to carry fresh oxygen to all cells, tissues and organs within the body. Thus, by transporting oxygen to the whole body, Red Blood Cells are responsible for energy production. The general symptoms of Anemia are fatigue, skin pallor (pale skin), shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, or a fast heartbeat.

Folate, Vitamin B12, and Iron have crucial roles in Red Blood Cell Formation and their intake and absorption can be impacted by i) Changing life demands (e.g., work pressure, family life, pregnancy, and exercise), ii) Change of diets (e.g., becoming vegetarian or vegan) and iii) Our digestive system’s absorptive ability (e.g., Celiac Disease).

Conventional Oral Iron Supplementation is often associated with gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, constipation, and black stools, thus leading to poor compliance because of these side effects. The added complexity of the absorption, metabolism, and transport of Iron in the body makes Oral Iron Supplementation even more troublesome. That is why a Chelated Iron is often the most recommended choice for an Oral Iron Supplement as it has fewer Gastrointestinal side effects and is softer on the stomach.
