Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common nutritional disorder in the whole world and it is the leading cause of
anaemia (IDA). ID is considered to contribute to death and disability as a risk factor for maternal and perinatal
mortality, and also through its direct contributions to cognitive impairment, decreased work productivity and
death from severe anaemia. Better recognition of the disorder is essential to improve patient outcomes.
Although they frequently occur together, iron deficiency and anaemia are independent disorders, however, if
iron deficiency is left to advance to anaemia, it is harder to treat and associated with even worse outcomes;
recent research indicates that treating iron deficiency early on, before progression to anaemia, reduces mortality in comorbid conditions.

ID: Iron Deficiency; IDA: Iron Deficiency and Anemia
Successful management of iron deficiency replenishes iron stores, improves symptoms and limits the negative
clinical consequences associated with insufficient iron. These include increased morbidity, reduced quality of
life and, in some cases, mortality.
Symptoms of iron deficiency

Lethargy
Fatigue
Malaise/depression
Angina
Impaired cognition
Impaired immune system
Anorexia
Intolerance to cold
Endocrine/metabolic abnormalities
Cardiorespiratory disturnances
Gastrointestinal disturnances
Weakness
Shortness of breath
Exertional chest pain
Impaired concentration
Impaired libido/impotence
Insomnia
Headache
Pallor
Neuromuscular disturbance
Cutaneous disturbance
Tendency toward bleeding
Musculoskeletal symptoms
Reduce exercise tolerance
Pruritus
Treatment for iron deficiency usually involves taking iron supplements to replace missing iron. However
tolerance of oral treatments is generally low and the frequency and severity of side effects often leads to poor
compliance and to the necessity to start intravenous supplementation.
Common side effects seen with oral iron treatments
Constipation
Dyspepsia
Heartburn
Bloating
Nausea
Diarrhoea
TURBOFER: food supplement containing iron pyrophosphate microencapsulated in liposomal form, vitamin B12,
vitamin C and folic acid.
TURBOFER is an oral iron supplement that, thanks to its formulation,

provides adequate levels of iron without any unpleasant side effect.
IRON MICROENCAPSULATED IN LIPOSOMIAL FORM is a water dispersible micronized source of iron that has
been formulated to enhance iron absorption and to reduce undesirable organoleptic attributes, thus enabling the
oral supplementation of this essential nutrient.
Iron microencapsulated in liposomes improves iron absorption: iron pyrophosphate microencapsulated in liposomal
form travels through the high-acid stomach environment without interference from any compounds that it
encounters along the way. Thus the iron reaches the duodenum and the jejunum (the middle gastrointestinal tract),
where it is easily absorbed.
As a result, ferritin (the amount of iron stored in the body) and, in case of anemia, haemoglobin (a measure for
circulating iron) increase quickly and iron does not cause the stomach upset and constipation associated with the
high-dose iron tablets that doctors usually recommend.
Why
Innovative microencapsulated technology
Highly bioavailable
Maximum absorption-raises
hemoglobin and ferritin fast
No stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea
or other digestive symptoms
When
During pregnancy and lactation
In preconceptional period,
thanks to the presence of folic acid
In cases of heavy menstrual bleeding
or menometrorrhagia
In presence of various types of bleeding
No oxidation of fats and vitamins

No metallic taste or smell
Does not color mucous membrane
Non-constipating
Excellent tolerability
Total compliance
In case of frequent feeling of tiredness,

fatigue, weakness and asthenic symptoms
During sporting activity,
especially women of childbearing age
In children and adolescents
In low-calorie, vegetarian or unbalanced diets
Iron contributes to the formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, while folic acid to the normal blood
formation. Vitamin C increases iron absorption. Vitamin B12, together with all the other components, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
