Sucrosomial iron is a new
oral iron preparation containing
ferric pyrophosphate covered by
phospholipids plus
sucroseester of
fatty acid matrix. This allows the molecule to be absorbed in the
gastrointestinal tract by trans-cellular, para-cellular and M-cells independently of
hepcidin and due to gastro-resistant properties, it does not cause the side effects such as gastric irritation which is commonly associated to oral iron.[1][2][3]
