What is Ferrous Fumarate?
Active Ingredients: Ferrous Fumarate
Ferrous Fumarate Tablets are an iron supplement used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood cells due to iron deficiency). Anemia may be caused by many conditions, such as chronic renal failure, pregnancy, and nutritional deficiencies due to an inadequate diet or malabsorption.
Ferrous fumarate is a salt that combines iron and fumaric acid. Iron is an essential mineral for the human body. Iron becomes a part of hemoglobin which carries oxygen in the blood and myoglobin which stores oxygen in muscle cells.
Ferrous fumarate contains about 33% of the element iron and is quickly absorbed by the body.
