Why Is Adfer safer than other Iron salts? 
 
Adfer with Carbonyl Iron, provides 98% pure elemental Iron, has high bioavailability with tolerable side effects.
Evidence of Safety of Carbonyl Iron safety over Ferrous Sulphate  
 
Adfer is an Iron supplement which can be used for the treatment and prevention of Iron Deficiency Anemia or IDA, B-complex and Zinc Deficiency.
 


The preparation contains 90mg Carbonyl Iron, a pure elemental Iron that offers 100% bioavailability which is safe and effective for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia and is associated with tolerable side effects.
 


There was no evidence of hematologic, hepatic, or renal toxicity, but mild gastrointestinal side effects occurred in a majority of anemic volunteers. Single doses of 1,000 to 10,000 mg of carbonyl iron (15 to 150 times the 65 mg of iron in the usual dose of ferrous sulphate) were tolerated by volunteers with no evidence of toxicity and only minor gastrointestinal side effects. 1
 
Adfer is a soft gel capsule recommended for the treatment and prevention of Iron, B-complex and Zinc deficiency.
Adenosylcobalamin vs Methylcobalamin
 
Adfer also contains 500mcg of Adenosylcobalamine, a naturally occurring form of vitamin B12 found in foods. It is the bioactive coenzyme form of vitamin B12; the forms which our bodies really need.

All other forms of vitamin B12 must first be converted into methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin inside the body, in order to be utilized.2 Adenosylcobalamin plays a vital role in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. The mitochondria depend on the breakdown and burning of these food types in order to make energy. Without this form of vitamin B12, burning these food substances becomes inefficient. This causes elevated lactic acid, exercise intolerance, fatigue, pain, mitochondria problems, and other errors of metabolism. In more serious circumstances, it can lead to the metabolic acidosis just mentioned. 3 Adfer contains the bioactive coenzyme reducing metabolic acidosis.

Adfer contains other B vitamins as well like Folic Acid (B9) which plays vital role in RBC production and DNA synthesis and it reduces the incidence of neural tube defect. Also it contains Pyridoxine (B6), needed for normal brain development and function, and helps the body make the hormones serotonin and norepinephrine, which influence mood, and melatonin, which helps regulate the body clock.

Also an essential mineral found in Adfer is Zinc Monomethionine. Zinc is a trace mineral essential for protein synthesis, normal wound healing, immune function, and many other basic cellular functions.
