Hi guys. sorry this went on longer than I wanted

I am anemic/iron deficient, so was prescribed iron supplements. however these destroyed my stomach, I cant handle them.

so I switched to Liposomal Iron. these are brilliant, perfect for my stomach, and supposedly absorb much better.

I got ferrous sulfate in liposomal form, and it 100% works better than the same dose of ferrous sulfate that isnt liposomal... so the increased absorption claims seem true for me.

my question is...

different irons absorb differently anyway... iron in ferrous sulfate form absorbs at about 10%.

iron in iron Bisglycinate form absorbs at about 30%

does this make a difference when using liposomal versions... or is all liposomal iron absorbed at the same rate regardless of which iron is used.

I ask because, I switched from liposomal iron which was ferrous sulfate... to one which is liposomal iron with iron bisglycinate.

however now I feel worse after taking my dose, sort of like I get iron overload symptoms... worse fatigue and weakness.... however if I leave it 8 hours or so, to let all the iron be processed, I feel much better.

this seems to suggest to me that the liposomal iron bisglycinate is absorbing more than the liposomal iron ferrous sulfate. I get these same symptoms when taking the ferrous sulfate if I take more. but I can handle 40mg liposomal ferrous sulfate fine... but 40mg liposomal iron bisglycinate seems to be too much.

for those that understand Liposomal technology/delivery and how it works... does this make sense? does the absorbability of the substance inside the liposome dictate the absorption rate once its in the liposome.

I presumed because it is the liposome being absorbed, and the iron is inside it... that absorption would be the same for every iron because it is the absorption rate of the liposome that counts... not the iron which is inside it.

but this may not be the case based on my symptoms

iron bisglycinate absorbs 3x more than iron ferrous sulfate when not liposomal (30% vs 10%)

does this mean liposomal iron bisglycinate will absorb 3x more than liposomal ferrous sulfate.

or will they absorb the same, because only the absorption rate of the liposome itself matters.

sorry ive gone on longer, just wanted to make sure I explained it as well as I can. people with knowledge what is your opinion (please dont go from what ive said and my symptoms to reach your verdict... use your existing knowledge on how liposomal delivery works)

many thanks
