Our Foundation

From Deficiency to Feeling Alive and Finding Strength

It began with a question that echoed across countless households:

Why do so many people live with iron deficiency—and so few feel truly seen?

Established in 2024, Archegos Therapeutics emerged from a blend of firsthand experience and a deep dissatisfaction with existing solutions. Tired of generic iron salt-based supplements that didn’t address the root cause of iron deficiency anemia, we set out to introduce a new solution that actually works—without compromise.

Inspired by the ancient Greek word “archegos”—meaning founder, leader, or pioneer—we believe health is not just survival; it’s a calling to rise. In that spirit, we reimagined what the right iron therapy could be: highly bioavailable, gut-friendly, clinically-informed, and deeply human-centered.

We launched Archegos Therapeutics to lead a quiet revolution — for women, children, the elderly, vegetarians and vegans, athletes, busy parents, and for people who are just tired of feeling exhausted.

Our mission is simple:

To restore vitality at the cellular level and help people with IDA rise to their strongest, clearest self, while feeling alive.
