What is Ferrous Gluconate?
Ferrous gluconate is an organic chelated iron, in which iron is bound to gluconic acid. This chemical structure is key to its effectiveness. It is a grayish-green or pale yellow crystalline powder or granular substance with a slightly caramel flavor and a slightly astringent taste.
Ferrous gluconate is primarily used as an anti-anemia drug to treat and prevent iron-deficiency anemia. Unlike some other iron salts, it is gentle on the digestive system, making it a better choice for those who experience gastrointestinal discomfort after taking other iron supplements.
Beyond pharmaceutical applications, ferrous gluconate is also used in dietary supplements and food fortifiers, such as adding it to products like cereals and flour to enhance their nutritional value.
Ferrous gluconate is an effective treatment for hypochromic anemia. Compared with other iron preparations, ferrous gluconate can produce a satisfactory reticulocyte response, high iron utilization, and daily hemoglobin increment, and return to normal levels in a relatively short time.
Uses of Ferrous Gluconate.
Ferrous gluconate is used for iron deficiency anemia caused by various reasons, such as malnutrition, chronic blood loss, menorrhagia, pregnancy, and children's growth period.
Pharmacological Action of Ferrous Gluconate.
Iron is one of the important elements of the human body. It participates in the synthesis of hemoglobin and plays an important role in the transfer of oxygen and participation in human metabolic activities. Iron is the main component of hemoglobin and myoglobin. Most enzymes and factors related to the tricarboxylic acid cycle contain iron, or can only function when iron is present.
After actively supplementing this product for iron-deficient patients, in addition to accelerating hemoglobin synthesis, symptoms related to tissue iron deficiency and reduced iron-containing enzyme activity, such as growth retardation, abnormal behavior, physical weakness, changes in mucosal tissues, and skin and nail lesions can also be gradually corrected.
What's the difference between iron gluconate and ferrous sulfate?
The main difference lies in the compound the iron is bound to and the resulting tolerability. Iron gluconate is bound to gluconic acid, while ferrous sulfate is bound to sulfuric acid. Iron gluconate is generally better absorbed and causes fewer gastrointestinal side effects like constipation and nausea than ferrous sulfate, making it a gentler option for many people.
Can I take iron gluconate if I'm pregnant?
Yes, iron gluconate is commonly used during pregnancy to prevent or treat iron deficiency anemia, which is common due to increased blood volume. Pregnant and breastfeeding women can typically use it, often at a recommended dose of around 250mg per day. However, you must consult your obstetrician or midwife before starting any new supplement to determine the correct dosage for your specific needs
How long does it take to see results?
You may start to feel an improvement in symptoms like fatigue within a few weeks as your body begins to replenish hemoglobin levels. However, it can take several months of consistent use to fully rebuild the body's iron stores (ferritin). It's important to have follow-up blood tests as directed by your doctor to monitor progress.
