Ferrous fumarate is a form of drug that is used to restore the levels of iron in the body during a deficiency. The salt may also be used to prevent gastro-intestinal problems associated with iron deficiency.

One of the most important functions of iron in the body is in the formation of red blood cells. Iron is a component of haemoglobin which is the oxygen-carrying pigment of red blood cells.

 Function   

Ferrous fumarate is used to treat iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by having too little iron in the body).

This medicine contains the iron salt, ferrous fumarate which helps restore iron levels in the body when levels are low. The ferrous fumarate salt may help reduce the chances of getting gastro-intestinal problems which are usually associated with other iron salts.

1, the absorption speed, biological titer, can promote growth and improve feed efficiency, and can replace or partly replace inorganic iron

2, a variety of enzymes involved in the generation, activation, enhance immune function, improve stress resistance and disease resistance

3, in the intestinal absorption rate is very multiples of ferrous sulfate, does not interfere with the absorption of other elements, and no other metal elements antagonism

4, with a variety of nutrients, antibiotics, good compatibility, have a synergistic effect. Can effectively avoid the addition of inorganic iron on the destruction of vitamins and other active substances

5, can effectively prevent iron deficiency anemia and complications

Application
