What Is Ferrous Fumarate Used For?
Iron deficiency anemia is often treated and prevented using the iron supplement known as ferrous fumarate. This chemical is a salt made from fumaric acid and iron, offering an iron source that can be easily absorbed by the body. Ferrous fumarate is especially advantageous for people with higher iron needs, like pregnant women, children, and individuals with certain health issues that hinder iron uptake. Ferrous fumarate not only helps fight anemia but also aids in the production of hemoglobin, which is crucial for oxygen transport in the blood and maintaining general health. It is frequently added to supplements and fortified foods to support appropriate iron levels and enhance energy levels. Ferrous fumarate is usually well-accepted, with fewer stomach-related side effects than other iron supplements, making it a top pick for numerous patients.
