Ribodiet®

Ribodiet® nucleotides are a selected blend of nucleotides, molecules naturally present in our body and fundamental for numerous biological processes, including DNA synthesis and cellular regeneration. These are compounds that the body can produce autonomously, but which in certain conditions, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or intestinal problems, can become “semi-essential,” making targeted supplementation useful.

Iron supplementation can often be associated with gastrointestinal side effects, such as:

• bloating
• constipation
• intestinal irritation

Ribodiet® nucleotides were chosen to address this very problem, with a dual objective:

• To improve iron absorption
• To reduce intestinal discomfort related to supplementation

The intestine is the primary site of iron absorption, and it is also the organ most affected by the side effects of its supplementation. Nucleotides play a key role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosa: they promote the maturation and renewal of the epithelial cells of the small intestine, helping to keep the intestinal lining in good condition.

An intestine with an intact and functional mucosa is able to absorb nutrients more efficiently, including iron, and is simultaneously more resistant to the irritative phenomena that can be triggered by supplementation with ferrous salts.

Ribodiet® nucleotides associate particularly effectively with Pido-Fer® iron pidolate, because the two ingredients act on complementary levels. Iron pidolate is already one of the best-tolerated forms of iron: pidolic acid acts as a natural carrier, facilitating the passage of iron through biological barriers and reducing the impact on the digestive system. Ribodiet® nucleotides further enhance this effect by acting directly on the intestinal mucosa: they support it, promote its cellular renewal, and reduce local inflammation, creating the optimal conditions for iron pidolate to be absorbed even more efficiently.
