Globifer Forte is a natural, gentle, dual-acting iron supplement which contains haem iron, animal source, for minimal gastrointestinal side effects and non-haem iron from a vegetable source. Iron supplements are notorious for being poorly tolerated and absorbed. By developing haem and non-haem iron, Globifer Forte achieves superior absorption. Haem receptors in the upper intestine absorb the entire complex molecule. This is a completely different mechanism of iron absorption to non-haem iron supplements and there is evidence to show that this form of iron is absorbed nearly four times more than non-haem iron supplements. Globifer Forte iron tablets can be used for as long as is required. A minimum of three month course is recommended.
