What it is

Iron (Ferrous Fumarate) is a mineral (iron form) supplement. Ferrous fumarate is a high-elemental-iron salt used to treat iron-deficiency anaemia. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works

It supplies ferrous iron for haemoglobin synthesis and oxygen transport; fumarate gives a higher elemental-iron percentage than gluconate. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within 4-12 weeks.

Who should take it

Adults with confirmed iron deficiency or anaemia (test ferritin first).

Avoid / careful

Only supplement iron if deficient (excess is harmful/pro-oxidant). Causes constipation/dark stool; take with vitamin C, away from tea/calcium. Keep away from children.
