1. Op#Fer® solves problems
The Op#Fer® series of heme iron
supplements solve many problems
inherent with iron therapy

2. Op#Fer® solves problems
Reliable therapy
Building up adequate normal iron storage is a process that takes
#me, just as iron deple#on doesn’t happen overnight.
Iron balance is about what’s coming in through food and what is
lost normally by the body.

3. Op#Fer® solves problems
Minimal side-effects
What is not taken up is completely inert in the gastro-intes#nal
channel as
opposed to non-absorbed free iron ions from non-
heme iron, which are reac#ve and strongly irrita#ng.
In clinical studies heme-iron therapy usually has placebo-level
tolerance.

4. Op#Fer® solves problems
No failed therapies
There are considerably less poten#ally therapy-ruining side-
effects.
This is
a major problem when it comes to non-heme iron
supplements. It is very common that side effects force the
therapy to be terminated and something else tried.
The last alterna#ve when nothing works is very expensive and
inconvenient intravenously given iron since iron is absolutely vital
to life.

5. Op#Fer® solves problems
No change in efficacy or tolerance over #me
Heme-iron therapy can build up adequate iron storage in a
natural and gentle fashion.
There is no change in tolerability or efficacy over longer
#me.
With non-heme supplements side-effects are usually, even aNer
ini#al good tolerance, slowly accumula#ng un#l the therapy has
to be discon#nued.

6. Op#Fer® solves problems
Reasonable price
With a dosage of one or two tablets once per day heme iron
therapy is economical compared to the alterna#ves.

7. Op#Fer® solves problems
No danger of overdosing or poisoning
Using heme iron very liPle is wasted.
No cases reported of serious side effects or poisonings in
Scandinavia since decades of lage-scale use.
With heme iron overdosing is not an issue.

8. Op#Fer® solves problems
Works for everybody, in any clinical situa#on
Heme iron is taken up along the whole of the gastric passage, not
just in the
duodenum.
Pa#ents with gastric surgery find it many #mes impossible to
absorb (non-heme)iron. Heme iron works in this case also.
For chronic use a mild and steady therapy is always bePer.

9. Op#Fer® solves problems
Facts of heme iron therapy easily available and
make sense
Medical literature has a lot to say about heme iron and why it’s
more efficient and bePer tolerated.

10. Op#Fer® solves problems
Easiest possible dosage
One or two tablets at a single administra#on per day steals no
working #me.
It is also convenient in other ways. There are no special
precau#ons over simultaneously ingested food, drink or
medicine.

11. Op#Fer® solves problems
