Proferrin is not your traditional iron supplement. With Proferrin, you can expect more iron and less side effects. This is possible because Proferrin is an all natural iron supplement containing only heme iron polypeptide. Heme iron is readily absorbed through specific receptors in the small intestine better than any other form of iron.
