Description
Usage & Directions
Take 10 ml daily, neat or in liquid (e.g. juice or water). Optimal temperature between +2 and +21 °C – briefly the product also withstands more extreme temperatures. After opening, store in the fridge and use within 6 weeks. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.
Dosage and intake of liposomal iron
10 ml provide 15 mg iron, which is 107 % of the nutrient reference value, plus 3 mg vitamin E. One 250 ml bottle lasts for 25 daily doses. You can take liposomal iron neat or stir it into water or juice; the time of day is up to you. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
How does it work?
LIPOSOMAL explained in 3 steps.
- 1EncapsulationOur LipoSone® technology packs the active into tiny, spherical liposomes made of phospholipids.
- 2ProtectionThe liposomes envelop the active and protect it from stomach acid and digestive enzymes.
- 3AbsorptionThis way it reaches the bloodstream far more efficiently – for higher bioavailability.
What is liposomal iron?
Liposomal iron is iron packed into liposomes. Liposomes are microscopically small vesicles made of phospholipids – the same building blocks that make up the membranes of your body's cells. This shell protects the iron on its way through the stomach and gut.
The body absorbs only a small share of conventional iron from tablets or capsules, and absorption depends heavily on what you eat and drink at the same time. This is exactly where the liposomal form comes in. More about liposomes →
Liposomal iron vs. conventional iron: the difference
The difference lies in bioavailability – the share that actually reaches the body. We had this measured in a randomised study with 30 healthy participants. There were three groups: 15 mg liposomal iron from ActiNovo, 15 mg non-liposomal iron, and 40 mg non-liposomal iron with vitamin C. Serum ferritin in the blood was measured over 12 hours.
The result: at the same dose, liposomal iron from ActiNovo was 398 times more bioavailable than non-liposomal iron and 9 times more bioavailable than the high-dose iron with vitamin C. View the iron study →

Ingredients of liposomal iron 15: what's inside and why
- Iron saccharate: the iron source. It provides 15 mg iron per daily dose.
- Phospholipids from sunflowers (1300 mg per daily dose): form the liposomes in which the iron is packed. They are sourced from the EU.
- Water and glycerol: the carrier liquid in which the liposomes remain stable.
- Vitamin E, sea buckthorn extract, malic acid and rosemary extract: 3 mg vitamin E per daily dose, sea buckthorn as a plant-based addition, malic acid as an acidifier, rosemary extract as an antioxidant.
The product is vegan and contains no added flavourings.

Good to know
At ActiNovo we are fascinated by the potential of natural actives as much as by modern technology. So we combine both into highly effective liposomal supplements – without unnecessary additives.
Effects of iron: what is proven
Many effects are attributed to iron, and our customers take it for very different reasons. However, what we as a manufacturer are allowed to say about it is strictly regulated in the EU. Here is what we are allowed to tell you. Iron contributes:
- to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- to normal oxygen transport in the body
- to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin
- to normal cognitive function
- to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- to the normal function of the immune system
Iron also has a role in the process of cell division. The vitamin E it contains contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Liposomal iron provides the same iron as other products – the difference lies in absorption, not in the kind of effect.

Frequently asked questions about liposomal iron
Liquid liposomal iron, tablets or capsules: what is the difference?
Liposomes are tiny vesicles made of phospholipids that are stable in liquid. That is why we offer liposomal iron as a liquid. In our comparative study with 30 participants, ActiNovo's liquid liposomal iron was considerably more bioavailable than non-liposomal iron at the same dose.
How much liposomal iron per day makes sense?
The recommended intake is 10 ml per day. That is about 2 teaspoons and 15 mg iron, i.e. 107 % of the nutrient reference value. One 250 ml bottle lasts 25 days. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
When and how do I take liposomal iron?
You can take the 10 ml neat or stir them into water or juice. The time of day is up to you.
Does liposomal iron have side effects, and who should not take it?
Our liposomal iron is designed to be well tolerated. However, you should not take iron permanently without a need for it. It is not suitable if you have an iron storage disorder (haemochromatosis). If in doubt, have your iron status checked by a doctor, and seek advice beforehand if you are pregnant or take medication regularly.
Do I need extra vitamin C with liposomal iron?
Vitamin C increases iron absorption, which is why conventional iron is often combined with it. In our study, however, 15 mg of liposomal iron was 9 times more bioavailable than 40 mg of non-liposomal iron with vitamin C. If you would like to combine the two, our liposomal vitamin C is a good match.
Is liposomal iron vegan?
Yes. Our liposomal iron is vegan and contains no added flavourings.
Is liposomal iron suitable for children?
Yes, our liposomal iron is also suitable for children, but at a reduced dose: 2.5 ml per day for children aged 1 to 4, 5 ml for ages 5 to 8 and 7.5 ml for ages 9 to 12. For children aged 4 and over there is also our dedicated All-in-One for kids.
How long does liposomal iron keep after opening?
After opening, keep the bottle in the fridge and use it up within 6 weeks. Unopened, it is best stored between +2 and +21 °C.

ActiNovo liposomal vs. non-liposomal iron
View the study →If it makes no real difference, we do not sell it.
That is why every ActiNovo product uses our liposomal LipoSone® technology – for over 10 years, for more and more actives, proven in 9 of our own studies. What you find here has earned its place.
