What is Ferrous Sulfate?
Active Ingredients: Ferrous Sulfate
Ferrous Sulfate Tablets are an iron supplement used to treat and prevent anemia (a lack of red blood cells due to iron deficiency). Anemia is especially common in women in their adolescence and childbearing ages. Blood loss or a diet that is low in iron may also lead to iron deficiency anemia.
Ferrous Sulfate isae combination of iron and sulfuric acid. Iron is an essential mineral for the human body. This mineral becomes a part of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood and myoglobin which stores oxygen in muscle cells.
Ferrous Sulfate contains about 20% of the element iron. One 200mg tablet of Ferrous Sulfate is equivalent to 65mg of ferrous iron.
