How Ferrous Ascorbate is better than Ferrous Sulphate
Iron deficiency is a major problem worldwide especially among women of reproductive age. Classification derived from an iron-supplemented population lists the following levels as anemic: Hb (g/dl) levels below 11 g/dl in the first trimester, 10.5 g/dl in the second trimester, and 11g/dl in the third trimester.
Many iron salts are used in the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anaemia. In the Indian market, predominantly Ferrous Ascorbate and Ferrous Sulphate are used. Ferrous Sulphate is more economical and easily available but Ferrous Ascorbate is the preferred choice of drug having many health advantages over Ferrous Sulphate.
Ferrous Sulphate is an essential body mineral and is used to treat iron-deficiency anemia (People suffer because of too little iron in their blood that leads to a lack of red blood cells)
