Maltofer
Iron polymaltose
If your iron is causing constipation, move to Maltofer and feel the difference.
If your iron tablets leave you feeling constipated, switch to Maltofer, a clinically proven1 therapeutic iron less likely to cause constipation than ferrous sulfate. It’s the reason Maltofer has become Australia’s No. 1 selling oral iron.2
Maltofer can be taken anytime with food and without vitamin C.
Maltofer iron is absorbed by the body in an active and controlled manner. Maltofer's active ingredient, iron polymaltose, ensures the body absorbs the iron that it needs when it is needed, providing reliable correction of iron levels.
