SiderAL® FORTE INT. A Different Approach to Daily Iron
Iron supplements aren’t all formulated the same way. SiderAL® FORTE INT. combines 30 mg of Sucrosomial® Iron with 70 mg of vitamin C in a once-daily capsule for adults with dietary iron deficiencies or increased iron requirements.
Its defining feature is Sucrosomial® Technology. According to SiderAL, the technology allows the iron to pass through the gastric environment before being absorbed in the intestine, with the formulation designed to address common gastrointestinal tolerability issues associated with conventional oral iron. Vitamin C is included to facilitate normal iron absorption.

Why might someone choose SiderAL FORTE INT. instead of a conventional iron supplement?
The main difference is the iron-delivery system. SiderAL FORTE INT. uses Sucrosomial® Iron, which is designed to protect the iron as it passes through the gastric environment before intestinal absorption. SiderAL specifically positions the technology around gastrointestinal tolerability—a common concern with oral iron supplementation.
I've had constipation or stomach upset from iron before. Will SiderAL FORTE INT. cause the same problem?
SiderAL specifically designed its Sucrosomial® Iron technology to address common gastrointestinal issues associated with oral iron, including constipation, nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea and heartburn. However, individual responses can vary; tolerability shouldn't be interpreted as a guarantee that side effects cannot occur.
Why is vitamin C already included in SiderAL FORTE INT.?
Each capsule contains 70 mg of vitamin C alongside 30 mg of iron. SiderAL states that vitamin C facilitates the body's normal absorption of iron.
Can I take two SiderAL FORTE capsules if my iron is very low?
The label directs adults to take one capsule once daily, or as directed by a doctor, and says not to exceed the recommended daily dose. Don't increase the dose based solely on how low you believe your iron or ferritin is; follow your clinician's advice
Should I take SiderAL FORTE INT. on an empty stomach?
No. The Canadian directions specify taking the capsule with food and a glass of water. It should also be taken a few hours before or after other medications or natural health products.
