Below is an SEO- and AI-friendly product-content package for SiderAL® FORTE INT. 20 Capsules, based primarily on the manufacturer/brand sources. I’ve kept the claims conservative and distinguished the 20-capsule international formulation from the Canadian INT formulation where the labelling differs.
SiderAL® FORTE INT. 20 Capsules — Product Description
SiderAL® FORTE INT. is a food supplement containing Sucrosomial® Iron and Vitamin C, formulated to provide an additional source of iron when dietary intake is insufficient or the body's requirements are increased.
The product uses Sideral® r.m., a patented Sucrosomial® Iron ingredient, in which iron is protected by Sucrosomial® Technology. According to the manufacturer, this technology allows the iron to pass through the gastric environment and be absorbed in the intestine, helping improve tolerability compared with conventional iron supplements. Vitamin C complements the formula by facilitating normal iron absorption.
The 20-capsule pack contains 30 mg of iron and 70 mg of Vitamin C per capsule. The recommended intake is 1 capsule per day, swallowed with water. The 20-capsule presentation has a net weight of 11.9 g.
SiderAL® FORTE INT. is also described as gluten-free, and the product is designed as an iron supplement that can be used when additional iron intake is required.
