Standard iron pills cause GI upset and aren’t absorbed. Our LipoSone™ iron saccharate bypasses your stomach intact — delivering 397.7× more to your bloodstream than a competitor’s powder.
Conventional iron supplements (ferrous sulfate, bisglycinate, salts) have two problems: most don’t reach your bloodstream intact, and what does can cause constipation, nausea, and abdominal upset. In our head-to-head trial, standard iron powder and iron tablets showed zero meaningful rise in serum ferritin across 12 hours. The mineral works. The delivery form is what fails.
Iron saccharate is sealed inside a sunflower-derived phosphatidylcholine bilayer — soy-free and structured to mimic your cell membranes.
The liposomal shell protects iron from stomach acid and proteases — which break down unencapsulated iron before absorption and cause the bloating, constipation, and nausea associated with standard supplements.
Serum ferritin in the liposomal group climbed steadily across all 12 hours measured in the trial — evidence of sustained, cumulative absorption.
The intact iron arrives in circulation via LipoSone™ delivery — ready for hemoglobin synthesis, energy production, and cognitive function.
Thirty metabolically healthy adults, randomized evenly, 15 mg iron daily for 12 hours (three formulations). Serum ferritin measured by Roche Tina-Quant at hours 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.
Only the liposomal form shows sustained linear rise; standard forms show minimal change.
| Parameter | LLI | PI | TIC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak serum ferritin (Cmax, ng/mL) | 111.4 | 27.3 | 34.4 |
| Time to peak (Tmax, hours) | 12 | 2 | 12 |
| Total exposure (AUC₀–₁₂, ng·h/mL) | 675.5 | 289.4 | 330.3 |
| Incremental absorption (iAUC, ng·h/mL) | 397.7 | 1.0 | 44.4 |
| Oral Bioavailability Value (OBV) | — | 397.7 | 44.4 |

The active mineral in Moana Natura’s liposomal formula. Iron saccharate is gentler on the GI system and more readily absorbed than ferrous sulfate or other salt forms.
The LipoSone™ delivery vehicle. Sunflower-derived, non-GMO, and free of the soy lecithin used in most liposomal supplements. Built to mimic cell membranes for efficient transport.
“Iron saccharate is bioavailable and gentle. The LipoSone™ shell eliminates gastrointestinal irritation by protecting iron from stomach acid — which is why the trial showed zero GI events.”
Iron is a mineral essential for normal oxygen transport and ATP synthesis. The 397.7× bioavailability means your cells get the iron they need.
Iron is critical for myelin formation and neurotransmitter synthesis. Adequate serum iron is foundational for focus, memory, and mental clarity.
Iron is a structural component of hemoglobin. The sustained plasma rise shown in the trial supports the oxygen-carrying capacity your blood needs.
In the 12-hour study period, the Moana Natura liposomal group experienced no constipation, nausea, or abdominal upset — unlike standard iron tablets and powders.
Ferrous sulfate, bisglycinate, and other salt forms are poorly absorbed and irritate your stomach and colon. The unabsorbed iron draws water into the intestines (causing diarrhea) or slows transit (causing constipation). In this trial, the non-liposomal groups showed almost no rise in serum ferritin — the iron simply passed through.
It's the ratio of incremental absorption (iAUC) between Moana Natura's liposomal form and the non-liposomal powder in the same trial. Same 15 mg iron dose, same measurement method — the difference is entirely in what reached your bloodstream.
Iron saccharate is a pharmaceutical-grade chelate that's already semi-bound to sugar molecules, making it gentler on the GI tract. Combined with liposomal encapsulation, it becomes both absorbable and tolerable.
One daily serving (5 mL), straight or in a little water. Most people take it in the morning. The liquid form allows precise dosing and is gentler than tablets or powders.
Yes, but iron should be dosed to your individual need. If you have hemochromatosis or iron overload disorders, consult your doctor. For most people, 15 mg/day is well below toxicity thresholds and safe for ongoing supplementation.
Yes. The phospholipid bilayer is sunflower-derived phosphatidylcholine — non-GMO and completely soy-free, unlike most liposomal products.
15 mg per serving. Zero GI events. Backed by a three-group human trial.
