About iron deficiency
Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are the most widespread nutritional deficiencies, affecting ~1.2 billion people globally, and are associated with a slew of symptoms, including tiredness, lack of energy, shortness of breath and, in more severe cases, an increased risk of serious morbidity and impaired immunity.
About IHAT
IHAT is a nanoparticulate ferric iron supplement that respects the physiology of natural iron. It was developed as an analogue of dietary ferritin, the natural iron storage protein, and follows its route of absorption. Like ferritin, IHAT is absorbed as whole nanoparticles in the intestine and does not release ‘free’ iron, a highly redox reactive form of iron and the culprit of the gastrointestinal side effects seen with conventional oral iron supplements. IHAT is efficacious and well-tolerated, with no negative impact on the gut microbiome.
