FERONEPH LP 10S

About

Feroneph LP is an advanced iron supplement specifically developed to address iron deficiency anemia, a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron is an indispensable mineral required for the synthesis of hemoglobin, the protein within red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues. In CKD, impaired kidney function often leads to reduced production of erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell formation, and increased iron loss, making iron supplementation crucial. This specialized formulation aims to effectively replenish depleted iron stores, support the body's ability to produce healthy red blood cells (erythropoiesis), and alleviate symptoms of anemia such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath, thereby significantly improving the energy levels and overall quality of life for kidney patients.
