THE GROUP'S PATENTED AND DESIGNED SOLUTION INDICATED AS THE ONLY ORAL IRON FOR ANAEMIA IN PEOPLE WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND DIABETES
PISA, Italy, March 25, 2025 /CNW/ -- PharmaNutra S.p.A. (MTA:PHN), a company specializing in the field of iron and mineral nutritional supplements and medical devices for muscles and joints, announces that oral Sucrosomial® Iron, the innovative formulation designed and patented by PharmaNutra that forms the basis of SiderAL® products, has been included in the recent World Health Organisation (WHO) Guidelines entitled 'Guidance on implementing patient blood management to improve global blood health status'.
The Guidance, which focuses on the efficiency and improvement of patient management in order to reduce the use of blood transfusions, is the result of extensive collaboration between international experts in multidisciplinary fields dedicated to improving patient outcomes, safety and quality of care. It is therefore also a useful practical guide to address the global problem of iron deficiency and anaemia, blood loss and coagulopathies with bleeding.
In particular, referring to sideropenia in cardiovascular disease and diabetes, within the WHO Guidelines Sucrosomal® Iron is the only oral iron mentioned and recognised. Evidence of extraordinary relevance for Sucrosomial® Technology, PharmaNutra Group's innovative delivery system, capable of protecting micronutrient molecules such as iron, increasing their absorption and improving their gastrointestinal tolerability.
An achievement of great impact, considering that iron deficiency remains the most widespread nutritional deficiency in the world today. The World Health Organisation document points out that anaemia is a common occurrence in people with both cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In fact, it is estimated that at least 170 million people worldwide with such comorbidities have anaemia.
Germano Tarantino, Chief Scientific Officer of PharmaNutra S.p.A., states: 'The reference to Sucrosomial® Iron within the World Health Organisation Guidelines is an important recognition of the value of our patent, now of worldwide relevance, but also for the work carried out by our research and development department in recent years. This evidence gives us further impetus to continue to invest in research to further refine and improve Sucrosomial® Technology, and to ensure increasingly effective solutions both as a means of preventing and counteracting iron deficiency, and as supplementation in all areas where this condition is one of the most frequent complications'
