Liposomal Iron
Iron your body really absorbs — without the constipation.
Against fatigue & for energy. Regular ionic iron supplements react directly with the intestinal mucosa, forming free radicals that cause the well-known side effects: constipation, dark stools, nausea, and cramping. Research documents this in up to 70% of users (Tolkien et al., PLOS ONE, 2015). Liposomal iron works differently. The iron is encased in a phospholipid sphere and is only released inside the intestinal cells — largely bypassing the reaction in the intestinal lumen. Clinical research has confirmed an equivalent improvement in ferritin levels at lower doses, with significantly fewer gastrointestinal side effects (Rangaraj et al., Cureus, 2025).

Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin.
Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body.
Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Iron contributes to normal cognitive function.
Iron contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- Without constipation or nausea: the iron is only released inside the intestinal cells — the reaction in the gut lumen that causes side effects never occurs.
- Clinically confirmed: independent RCTs confirm equivalent results with significantly fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
- 121% of the EU reference intake: 17 mg elemental iron per capsule as ferrous fumarate.
- No metallic taste: the dry liposomal form eliminates the metallic taste of liquid iron preparations.
- Vitamin C included: ascorbic acid supports iron absorption by converting ferric iron (Fe3+) into the more readily absorbed ferrous form (Fe2+).
How liposomal delivery works
A liposome is a microscopic protective sphere — built from the same phospholipids as your own cell membranes — that encloses the active ingredient. This protects it on its way through the stomach and digestive system and allows it to be taken up directly into the cells. The result: significantly more of the active ingredient can reach your bloodstream than with a standard capsule.
For iron, liposomal delivery is especially relevant: regular ionic iron reacts directly with the intestinal lining and forms free radicals that cause constipation, nausea and cramps in up to 70% of users. Liposomal iron is only released inside the intestinal cells — that reaction never takes place.
Why dry powder capsules — not liquid
Liquid liposomal products oxidise over time as phospholipids break down in water; this damages the liposomal structure and usually requires preservatives.
PPH uses Advanced Dry Liposomal Technology: liposomes held in a dry powder matrix inside a plant-based capsule. No oxidation, no preservatives, 36-month shelf life without refrigeration.
- No preservatives or artificial additives
- Plant-based HPMC capsule — no gelatine
- Sunflower lecithin — non-GMO, no soy
- 36-month shelf life at room temperature

Logically formulated
Every ingredient has a clear function. The full ingredient list is on every product page and on the batch certificate of analysis.
Sunflower lecithin — no soy
Our liposomes use sunflower lecithin: soy-free and non-GMO. Exception: CoQ10 uses soy lecithin, as stated in the allergen information.
Gum arabic for structure
A natural plant-based stabiliser that keeps the liposomal spheres intact within the dry powder matrix.
Ascorbic acid for absorption
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is added as an antioxidant and absorption enhancer: it converts ferric iron (Fe3+) into the more readily absorbed ferrous form (Fe2+).
- Active ingredient content
- Heavy metals (Cd, As, Hg, Pb) — Regulation (EU) 2023/915
- Microbiology — yeasts, moulds, E. coli, Salmonella
We also have the liposomal structure analysed independently (TEM/DLS).
The honest difference
Iron with care — without the side effects.
Reacts directly with the intestinal lining and forms free radicals: constipation, nausea and cramps in up to 70% of users.
Only released inside the intestinal cells, largely bypassing that reaction. Equivalent ferritin improvement with far fewer complaints.
