WBCIL Liposomal Iron vs. Standard Iron Salts
The following table presents a head-to-head comparison between WBCIL’s liposomal formulation and conventional iron salts. The data demonstrates how liposomal delivery overcomes traditional barriers like the hepcidin block and gastric distress.
| Feature | WBCIL Liposomal Iron | Standard Iron Salts |
|---|---|---|
| Absorption Pathway | Bypasses DMT1; absorbed via intestinal lymphatic system / M-cells. | DMT1-Mediated; requires protein transporters on the enterocyte surface. |
| Hepcidin Influence | Low: Enters bloodstream even when hepcidin levels are high (effective in inflammation). | High: Elevated hepcidin blocks iron absorption via the "hepcidin-ferroportin" axis. |
| Stability in Gut | Protected: Phospholipid bilayer shields iron from inhibitors and gastric acid. | Reactive: "Free" iron interacts with stomach acid, tannins, and phytates. |
