ABOUT

MEDITEC GROUP

MediTec offers the original heme-iron product OptiFer® that is safe, highly efficient and well tolerated. Heme-iron is taken up as a natural part of the body system why OptiFer® dietary-based treatment has few side effects and can be used efficiently to improve the iron status of women of reproductive age. This is an excellent alternative to current iron preparations as too many patients can´t handle the usual iron medications due to side-effects in the form of stomach problems.

MediTec produces the best iron preparation available in terms of efficacy and tolerance and we constantly are developing new products leading research and clinical studies. OptiFer® original full heme-iron supplementation has better bio-availability and fewer side effects than an equivalent dose of inorganic iron whilst it has long been known that heme-iron in doses of less than 20 mg added to the diet is absorbed more efficiently than non-heme iron.

CHALLENGE

Low iron counts are one of the most common conditions. Globally, anemia affects up to 1.6 billion people, which corresponds to a quarter of the total population. Almost every third woman has low iron values.

Iron deficiency is often accompanied by productive decline and has great economic impact in many countries.

Infants with iron-deficiency anemia are at risk for poorer cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and neurophysiologic development in the short- and long-term outcome.

There is a huge need for well-tolerated, efficient and reasonably priced iron supplements in the world. Iron cannot be substituted by anything else.
