Ferrous fumarate Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Anti-anemia drugs are used to treat iron-deficiency anemia, and are also widely used in food and feed additives. Ferrous fumarate is used as a food iron fortifier, and its absorption effect is better than that of inorganic iron. China stipulates that it can be used for table salt and filling sugar, the usage amount is 1800-1600mg/kg; in high-iron grains and their products (the daily limit is 50g for such foods), it is 520-580mg/kg; in dairy products and infant foods 180-300mg/kg; in cereals and their products, 70-150mg/kg; in beverages, 30-60mg/kg.

Drug 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.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
