Polysaccharide Iron Complex

Functionally Superior Iron Supplement

Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia that occurs when the body either does not absorb sufficient iron or loses too much iron. As a result, insufficient hemoglobin is produced, leading to poor oxygen uptake.  If left untreated, iron deficiency anemia can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, cardiovascular problems, and other complications. Codis’ Polysaccharide Iron Complex (PIC) provides a premium iron supplement ingredient that is highly effective in treating and preventing low blood iron levels.  Additionally, PIC is designed explicitly for enhanced tolerance, improved bioavailability, and formulation versatility.

Why Our Polysaccharide Iron Complex?

Our polysaccharide iron complex powder offers many advantages

Superior product purity

Low in heavy metals, fully cGMP compliant

High Iron Content

Standardized to 46% elemental iron by assay (44.7–49%) for robust supplement formulations

Fine Powder Consistency

Standardized to 46% elemental iron by assay (44.7%–49%) for robust supplement formulations

Superior Tolerability

Complexation of iron to the polysaccharide modifies release, reducing gastrointestinal side effects while maintaining effective absorption
