TruFerra™ Blister Packs by Ortho Molecular Products – Clinically Proven Iron Supplement for Energy and Repletion
TruFerra™ Blister Packs by Ortho Molecular Products deliver a patented, clinically proven iron supplement designed for superior iron absorption without the gastrointestinal side effects that cause most people to stop taking iron. Using the proprietary ST1406A® iron-whey protein microsphere technology — developed by Solvotrin Therapeutics — TruFerra™ stabilizes iron in its absorbable ferrous (Fe2+) form and delivers it directly to the duodenum, the body’s natural site of iron repletion, supporting healthy energy, immune function, and cognitive performance.
Key TruFerra™ Blister Packs Benefits
- Clinically proven to increase iron stores by more than 100% in six weeks, with levels maintained at 12 weeks
- Demonstrated over 2x better iron absorption versus conventional ferrous sulfate (p<0.001)
- Causes six times less GI irritation than standard oral iron, resulting in four times greater adherence
- Supports healthy hemoglobin formation, red blood cell production, and oxygen transport
- Supports energy production, immune system activity, and cognitive function
- Convenient individual blister pack format protects each dose from oxidation and moisture until use
How TruFerra™ Blister Packs Works
Iron absorption depends on the mineral arriving at the duodenal DMT-1 transporter in its ferrous (Fe2+) state. Standard iron supplements oxidize in the stomach’s acidic environment, converting to poorly absorbed ferric (Fe3+) iron — which triggers the nausea, cramping, and constipation that drive a 50% early discontinuation rate. TruFerra™ solves this with the ST1406A® iron-whey protein microsphere matrix: iron is encapsulated within whey protein microspheres that protect it from stomach acid, preserve its ferrous state, and release it precisely at the duodenum for optimal DMT-1 uptake. Clinical research confirms TruFerra™ is both more effective and dramatically better tolerated than conventional oral iron supplementation.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Iron (as Ferrous Sulfate) — ST1406A® Matrix: 30 mg per capsule; delivered via patented iron-whey protein microspheres that protect iron absorption and support healthy iron repletion, hemoglobin synthesis, and energy metabolism
- Ascorbic Acid: Supports iron stability and bioavailability within the formulation
- Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin: Natural plant-derived colorant used in the vegetable capsule shell
TruFerra™ is formulated to be free from artificial colors, preservatives, gluten, and added sugar. The individual blister pack format is intentional — each sealed cavity protects the ST1406A® microsphere integrity from environmental oxidation until the moment of ingestion, ensuring full potency with every dose.
TruFerra™ Blister Packs Is Formulated For
- Women of childbearing age, during pregnancy, or postnatally — populations with the highest iron needs
- Individuals who have experienced GI intolerance with conventional iron supplements
- Those looking to support healthy iron stores, energy, and vitality under practitioner guidance
- Adults with restricted diets or conditions affecting iron absorption
- Endurance athletes with elevated iron demands due to perspiration loss and increased red blood cell turnover
