LAFAYETTE, Colo., May 24, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Colorado Biolabs, Inc. (CBL) and Overseas
Healthcare Ltd (Overseas) are pleased to officially announce the
launch of Fe Daily for residents of
Africa. The product contains CBL's
Proferrin® brand Heme iron polypeptide and will be
available for purchase in 2024.
"Anemia rates in Africa are
staggering. Both companies have had the goal of helping residents
of Africa for a while now, and
we're thrilled to start helping those who need Proferrin and
Fe Daily this year," says
Colorado Biolabs CEO Adam
Kashenberg.
Overseas Healthcare, a leading Indian Pharma Company, endeavors
to make Proferrin® available across the African
continent by the end of 2025 under their brand name Fe Daily. "We at Overseas want to extend the
great benefits of our product Fe
Daily to all those who suffer from Anemia in Asia and Africa," says Mr. D.P. Soni, MD, Overseas
Healthcare.
CBL's Proferrin® brand HIP has demonstrated the
ability to increase serum iron up to 23x greater than does a
traditional iron salt on a milligram per milligram basis.[1] This
allows for excellent iron supplementation using far less iron,
leading to a stellar GI side effect profile. Additionally, HIP
absorption does not require acidification via addition of Vitamin
C. This fact is important because co-administration of Iron and
Vitamin C have been associated with oxidative stress in the gastric
mucosa, which can lead to ulceration.[2]
Proferrin® brand HIP is manufactured in the United States by Colorado Biolabs, Inc.
and Proferrin® iron supplements were introduced into the
U.S. market in 2001. Proferrin® is also available in the
US, Canada, UAE, Puerto Rico, and the
Philippines.
