Ferrous Fumarate

Function and Efficacy

Iron is a component of hemoglobin in red blood cells. When iron is deficient, the amount of hemoglobin synthesized by red blood cells decreases, causing the red blood cells to become smaller and their oxygen-carrying capacity to decrease, resulting in iron-deficiency anemia. Oral administration of this product can supplement iron and correct iron-deficiency anemia.
