Probi's solution for iron absorption

For increased iron uptake

Iron is a vital element for human health. However, iron deficiency remains one of the most common nutritional disorders globally. According to the World Health Organization, more than 30% of women of reproductive age worldwide suffer from anemia.

Iron deficiency is often managed with high-dose supplementation. Unfortunately, this may disturb the microbiota, causing side effects such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and constipation.

Probi's probiotic solution for iron absorption - previously referred to as Probi Ferrosorb - is an award-winning clinically proven probiotic iron-absorption concept, supporting long-term iron status while reducing common side effects often associated with traditional iron supplementation. It is based on Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v (LP299V®), combined with a carefully balanced dose of iron.

Unlike iron-only supplements, this solution increases the body's uptake, reducing the quantity of iron needed.

Balanced iron uptake and a healthy microbiota, without gastrointestinal discomfort.


Probi's solution:

  • A microbiome-based solution targeting a critical health issue particularly affecting women.
  • Supports the bodys absorption of iron.
  • Is gentle on the gastrointestinal system.
  • Offers a natural way to maintain iron stores.
  • Reduces the gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with traditional iron supplements.
  • Is a multiple award-winning solution across three continents. 

This solution is ideal for capsules, tablets, and stick-packs, as well as for functional foods such as beverages and powder products.
