More about FeraMAX® 150

The polysaccharide iron complex in all versions of FeraMAX® supplements liberates less ionic iron in the stomach and is therefore better tolerated.
Single dose convenience resulting in higher compliance and therefore treatment success : FeraMAX® 150 provides a daily treatment dose in a single capsule when compared to the traditional therapy with ferrous salts where 2-3 tablets need to be taken each day.
FeraMAX® 150 may be available without prescription, but kept behind the counter, so you do need to talk to a pharmacist.
