Iron supplements in the UAE
Iron is essential for making haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide, especially in women of reproductive age, vegetarians and endurance athletes. Yamamoto iron supplements are made in Italy, with fast delivery across the UAE and GCC.
Ferro Fosfolipidico Lipofer
Standard iron supplements can cause digestive discomfort, including constipation and nausea. Yamamoto uses Lipofer, a phospholipid-encapsulated iron that is gentler on the stomach and well absorbed. This form is suitable for people who have struggled to tolerate standard iron tablets.
Frequently asked questions
Should I get my iron levels tested first? Yes. Iron supplementation without deficiency is not recommended and can cause harm. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a ferritin and haemoglobin test.
What should I take iron with? Take with vitamin C to maximise absorption, and avoid taking it with calcium-rich foods or supplements, which compete for absorption.
