How Heme Iron Polypeptide Works
Heme Iron Polypeptide is the active ingredient in Hema-Fer; it is a drug used to treat low iron levels and prevent anemia. It works by providing a highly absorbable source of iron that the body uses to produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. It raises iron stores and helps restore healthy red blood cell function. Hema-Fer is prescribed to individuals with a low iron percentage and to those who may have difficulty tolerating traditional iron salts. It has proven effective when combined with a healthy diet and proper medical oversight.
