The patient’s initial condition negatively affected her quality of life.

By virtue of this, an evaluation was made of a treatment that could be effective while minimizing discomfort for the patient.

In consultation with the physician, the decision is made to take action by recommending a change in lifestyle, including diet. The use of nutraceuticals was deemed necessary since profound micro-nutritional deficiencies were found to be a cause of the current problem.

Fertop was preferred over treatment with other iron supplements because it also contained vitamin C it improved the absorption of the same. In addition, by presenting iron pyrophosphate contained within liposomes in its formulation, it was more tolerable and did not cause adverse symptoms often associated with taking iron sulfate or iron gluconate.

After the first treatment period, at the follow-up visit the patient reports considerable overall improvement in quality of life, noting, for example, that she is subject to less fatigue, mental confusion and irritability.

Conclusions: The patient under review-with symptoms of sideropenic anemia, mainly related to low hemoglobin, sideremia, and ferritin levels-benefited from the treatment that focused on improving bowel balance, reducing chronic fatigue, irritability, brain fog, and insomnia with individualized nutritional intervention.

This intervention consisting of the synergistic use of FERTOP and other vitamin D and C supplements offers a good level of tolerability and safety with improvement in the patient’s clinical picture without side effects or discomfort on her part.
