What is Ferrous Fumarate ?

Ferrous Fumarate is an iron supplement used primarily to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia, a condition characterized by a lack of adequate healthy red blood cells due to insufficient iron levels. It provides the essential mineral iron, which is crucial for the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. It is usually administered orally and is available in various forms, including tablets and capsules, often combined with vitamin C to enhance absorption.
