IronAid® Iron Protein Succinylate (IPS) is the ideal iron ingredient compound for many people experiencing iron deficiency and anemia, who may have serious conditions that require nutritional or even clinical intervention. High-risk groups include adolescents, the elderly, women, and those with low dietary intakes of animal meat and ascorbic acid.
Compared to other traditional iron compounds, IronAid® IPS offers safe, gentle, superior gastric tolerability, and also superior absorption characteristics. Clinical studies involving more than 3,000 people have shown an absence of gastric side effects in nearly all of the subjects. And of history of use in millions of people over the past 20 years has shown IronAid® IPS to be the "preferred" iron ingredient compound.
In summary, IronAid® IPS has a strong clinically proven safety record and it provides sustained, safe, and long-lasting iron absorption, which is not affected by food intake.
There have been many published research articles over the last few years that address iron deficiency, particularly in active and athletic women of all ages, as well as women in prenatal stages, who can especially benefit from IronAid® IPS supplementation.

- Science Information
Iron is a mineral that is an essential constituent of blood and muscle, and is required for the transport of oxygen. The primary role of iron relates to the ability of red blood cells to adequately carry oxygen to sustain the body's cellular support. When iron deficiency progresses to anemia, and anemia is finally detected, an unbalanced condition has already been reached and normally requires clinical intervention.
Iron deficiency develops insidiously and is often free of symptoms. And similar to anemia, symptoms of iron deficiency may include weakness, palpitations, lassitude, light-headedness, fatigue, and subtle behavioral changes. In addition, iron deficiency can lead to the inability to properly regulate body temperature, and often people who are iron deficient continually feel cold.
IronAid® Iron Protein Succinylate (IPS) is safe and efficacious, due to its innovative technology, because it is insoluble in the stomach - important because most iron compounds tend to irritate the stomach lining, often leading to significant discomfort (heartburn).
After passage through the stomach, IronAid® IPS then dissolves in the early part of the intestinal tract as ferric iron, and here the active iron component is gently and efficiently absorbed. IronAid® IPS has a superior safety profile, allowing long-lasting treatment, which is most often required for iron deficiency and anemia intervention.
Iron Deficiency High-Risk Groups include:
- Women, especially those with a history of child-bearing challenges.
- Adolescents.
- People with diets that are low in both meat and ascorbic acid.
- Elderly men and women.
- People who donate blood more than three times a year.
- People who use aspirin regularly.
- Athletes, especially women, who train at repeated high intensity.
- Applications
- Dietary supplements.
- Functional foods.
- Functional beverages.
- Medical foods.
The ingredient compound IronAid® Iron Protein Succinylate (IPS) can play a critical role in both restoring and managing proper iron stores, and help individuals optimally meet their body's metabolic needs. IronAid® IPS is safe, novel, and gentle, and has particular application in women's supplements, elderly supplements, and in active and athletic women's supplements.
