Advanced PQNS Iron

Q-ERYTHRA™ — Iron Re-Engineered for Blood Health & Energy

Ferrous Ascorbate encapsulated in cationic PQNS nano-vesicles for direct intestinal uptake, superior cellular retention, and gut-friendly delivery.

Why Q-ERYTHRA™

Protection • Programmability • Precision

Protection

  • Encapsulation shields iron from oxidation and acid degradation.
  • Improved GI tolerance at clinically effective doses.

Programmability

  • Controlled release delivers iron where it’s needed.
  • Sustained cellular residence (≈3.6× retention vs. standard).

Precision

  • Direct uptake via DMT1, ferroportin, TRPML1, and Zip14 channels.
  • Higher intracellular bioavailability for hemoglobin synthesis.

Mechanism

How PQNS Delivers Iron at the Cellular Level

Transporters & Pathways: DMT1 • Ferroportin • TRPML1 • Zip14; vesicles protect iron and target epithelial cells with higher retention.

Cellular Uptake (In-Vitro)

Hep2 Epithelial Cells — Intracellular Iron (ICP-MS)

View:
Standard Ferrous Ascorbate PQNS Ferrous Ascorbate
Setup: 200 & 500 ppm; 6 h @ 37 °C, 5% CO₂; ICP-MS quantification.
Outcome: PQNS showed >3× higher intracellular absorption at both concentrations.

Interpretation

PQNS nanostructure improves solubility, stability, and trans-epithelial transport—explaining the higher cellular iron levels observed.

FAQ

Clinician Questions

Is Vitamin C still needed? Included for reduction/transport; PQNS further stabilizes & delivers iron intracellularly.

Why cofactors (Zn/Cu/Co)? They’re catalytic for heme synthesis and erythrocyte maturation.

Tolerability? Encapsulation reduces unbound iron in the lumen, improving GI comfort.
