What is Bifera?

Bifera is an active ingredient in some prescription iron supplements. It is intended to increase iron levels in the blood to address iron-deficiency anemia, poor nutrition, pregnancy, or other reasons. Bifera is sometimes prescribed for people with or at risk for iron-deficiency anemia.

Bifera is an uncommon iron supplement in that it uses two organic substances with iron attached (HIP and PIC) rather than as an iron mineral. So the iron in Bifera is easier to absorb and has fewer side effects than mineral iron. HIP (heme iron polypeptide) is a protein-like molecule with iron attached, and it is the form of iron found in meats. PIC (polysaccharide iron complex) is a carbohydrate with iron attached, and it is the form of iron found in plants.

Bifera is easier to absorb and gentler on the gastrointestinal tract than iron supplements with iron salts. Side effects are fewer and less severe, so Bifera is often advised or prescribed for patients who suffer from gastrointestinal problems, such as constipation.

What are the side effects of Bifera?

Common side effects of Bifera include but are not limited to upset stomach, stomach cramps, constipation, diarrhea, or black or bloody stools. Allergic reactions to the active ingredients are extremely rare. While identical to the side effects typical of iron supplements, these side effects tend to be less common and less severe than other iron supplements.

Although iron is a naturally occurring and critical part of our diet, overdosing on iron can lead to iron poisoning and even death. Always follow your doctor's instructions or the suggested dosage on the supplement.
