What it does
Why people take it
30 mg liposomal iron
A lipid-carried form, formulated to be gentle on the stomach
Supports red blood cell formation
Iron, B12 and folic acid together, not iron alone
Helps reduce tiredness
Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Vitamin C for absorption
50 mg in the same tablet, so no separate juice needed
No metallic aftertaste
The complaint that ends most iron courses early
One tablet a day
After a meal - 60 tablets, a two-month bottle
The problem
Why iron supplements get abandoned
- 01
Tiredness that rest does not touch
Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and it is the single most common nutritional shortfall in Indian women.
- 02
The stomach makes it impossible to continue
Constipation, nausea and a metallic taste are why most iron courses stop weeks before they were meant to.
- 03
Iron alone is only part of the picture
Red blood cell formation needs vitamin B12 and folate as well. An iron-only tablet leaves two of the three missing.
- 04
Absorption undone by the next cup of tea
Tannins and calcium both block iron uptake, which is why timing and vitamin C matter as much as the dose.
Why it works
Liposomal, so less of it sits in your gut
A conventional iron salt dumps a large unabsorbed fraction into the intestine, and that fraction is what causes the side effects. Liposomal iron is wrapped in a lipid shell, which changes how it is taken up and is the reason this tablet is tolerated where ferrous sulphate often is not. It is paired with 50 mg of vitamin C, which increases iron absorption; with 15 mcg of B12 and 300 mcg of folic acid, because haemoglobin needs all three; and with 10 mg of zinc. One tablet after a meal, 60 to a bottle.

What is in it
Every ingredient, with its amount.
Red-Sang is a liposomal iron tablet built around the reason most people give up on iron: the stomach. Conventional iron salts leave a large unabsorbed fraction sitting in the gut, which is what causes the constipation, the metallic taste and the nausea.
Liposomal ferric pyrophosphate is carried in a lipid shell, which changes where and how it is taken up. Alongside it, 50 mg of vitamin C, because iron absorption depends on it; 15 mcg of vitamin B12 and 300 mcg of folic acid, because red blood cell formation needs all three together rather than iron alone; and 10 mg of zinc. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Supplement facts5 ingredients
Liposomal Iron (Ferric Pyrophosphate)30 mg
Iron carried in a lipid shell, which is what makes it tolerable at a dose that would otherwise upset the stomach. Contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)50 mg
Increases the absorption of non-haem iron. Including it in the same tablet removes the need to time a glass of juice alongside the dose.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)15 mcg
Required for normal red blood cell formation, and one of the two nutrients an iron-only tablet leaves out.
Folic Acid (Vitamin B9)300 mcg
Works with B12 in red blood cell formation and contributes to normal maternal tissue growth in pregnancy.
Zinc10 mg
Contributes to normal immune function and to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails.

How to take it
Take 1 tablet daily after a meal, or as advised by your physician. Vitamin C is already included, so no separate juice is needed. Avoid taking it within two hours of tea, coffee or a calcium supplement, all of which reduce iron absorption.
Who it is for
A daily iron supplement for adults with increased iron needs - including women with heavy periods, and anyone whose doctor has advised iron support.
Testing and evidence
Manufactured in a GMP-certified, FSSAI-approved facility. Vegetarian. Every quantity is printed on the pack.
Safety information
Not for medicinal use. Keep out of reach of children - accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Iron supplements can darken the stool, which is harmless. Do not take alongside another iron supplement. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on prescription medication, consult your doctor before use. Iron deficiency should be confirmed by a blood test rather than assumed.

The routine
How to take it
- 1
One tablet daily
After a meal, with water.
- 2
Keep tea and coffee two hours away
Tannins bind iron. So does calcium, so space it from a calcium supplement too.
- 3
Give it 8 to 12 weeks
Haemoglobin responds before stores do. Confirm progress with a blood test.

Questions
A conventional iron salt leaves a large unabsorbed fraction in the intestine, and that fraction is what causes constipation, nausea and the metallic taste. Liposomal iron is carried inside a lipid shell, which changes how it is taken up and is the reason this tablet is generally tolerated where ferrous sulphate is not.
After a meal. Iron on an empty stomach is absorbed slightly better but is far harder on the stomach, and the vitamin C already in the tablet does more for absorption than an empty stomach would. Keep it two hours clear of tea, coffee and calcium supplements, all of which reduce iron uptake.
It is the sensible thing to do. Iron is one of the few nutrients where too much is a real problem, and low energy has many causes besides iron. Ask your doctor for a haemoglobin and ferritin test rather than assuming, especially for men and for women past menopause.
Check the combined iron first. Danann W already carries 27 mg of iron, so taking both means well over 50 mg a day, which is above what most adults need. Take one or the other unless your doctor has specifically advised otherwise.
It can, and that is harmless - it is simply the unabsorbed iron. It is a normal effect of any iron supplement and not a reason to stop.
