Captafer Biomedica 30 Tablets

Captafer Biomedica Food Supplement

CAPTAFER is a food supplement based on hydrolyzate of marine fish cartilage, Vitamin C, E, folic acid, zinc and copper. Promotes the absorption of iron.

How to use

The recommended dose is 1 or 2 capsules a day just before main meals.

IRON ABSORPTION

• Iron absorption is linked to several factors:
• Bioavailability in food
• Individual abilities to absorb iron
• Body reserves
• Losses

About 15% of endurance sports practitioners have an iron deficiency:

• 25% of athletes have an iron deficiency
• 8% of marathoners have an iron deficiency
• 12% of cyclists have an iron deficiency

About 1/4 of women of childbearing age have an iron deficiency due to menstruation.
The oral iron market is made up of many products with a low retail price, due to the high competition and lack of real innovation of one product over another. In reality, the problems related to the absorption of oral iron and its oxidizing and irritating action on the mucosa have never been solved. CAPTAFER is the solution.

MECHANISM OF ACTION "THE CAPTAFER FACTOR"

It has been shown that some fish glycosaminoglycans, a source of a special type of oligosaccharides, are able to increase the absorption of iron 3 to 5 times compared to the "meat factor". These specific oligosaccharides have been extracted, purified, selected and standardized and constitute the “Captafer Factor”.

THE FORMULATIVE STRATEGY

The "catalysts" components:

• Vitamin C: known for its ability to facilitate iron absorption.
• Vitamin E: with vitamin C it limits oxidative iron damage.
• Folic acid: needed to prevent megaloblastic anemia and fetal nervous system abnormalities. It is essential in pregnancy.
• Zn and Cu: act in different mitochondrial systems dependent on cytochromes and contribute to the use of iron by the biological system. Zinc is involved in the absorption of iron and with Copper it acts in various metal enzymes (for example superoxide dismutase) necessary for the detoxification process.

THE NEEDS IN IRON

They vary according to sex, age and the different physiological circumstances of life. They are particularly high:

• in growing children
• in pregnant women
• in women of childbearing age (menstruation)
• in athletes who practice endurance sports
• in pathologies accompanied by bleeding
