Product details
Ferrous sulphate is an inorganic metal salt substance, which can be used as nutritional supplement (iron fortifier); fruit and vegetable colouring agent; it can also be used in the production of iron salts, iron oxide pigments, mordant, water purification agent, preservative, disinfectant and so on, and as anti-anaemia drug in medicine.
Health Benefits of Ferrous Sulfate
1. Effectively Improves Iron Deficiency Anemia
Ferrous sulfate is one of the most common forms of iron supplementation, widely recommended due to its high bioavailability. Regular use can significantly increase hemoglobin levels and alleviate anemia-related symptoms.
2. Supports Cognitive Function and Energy Levels
Adequate iron is essential for maintaining brain function and overall energy. Ferrous sulfate supplementation can improve cognitive performance, reduce fatigue, and enhance endurance for daily activities.
3. Promotes Pregnancy Health
Pregnant women have increased iron requirements to support fetal development and increase blood volume. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends iron supplementation for pregnant women, with ferrous sulfate being a commonly used option.
4. Enhances Athletic Performance
For active individuals and athletes in Europe and America, adequate iron levels help optimize oxygen delivery, improving athletic performance and recovery speed.
Uses of Ferrous Sulfate.
(1)Ferrous sulphate is used in the production of iron salts, iron oxide pigments, mordants, water purifiers, antiseptics, disinfectants, etc., and as an anti-anaemia drug in medicine.
(2)Ferrous sulphate is used for flocculation and purification of water, as well as removal of phosphate from municipal and industrial sewage to prevent eutrophication of water bodies. ①As a strong reducing agent, it can reduce hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium in chromium wastewater of electroplating plant, and it can also replace many heavy metal ions in wastewater. ② As a flocculant with fast settling speed, large sludge particles, small and dense sludge volume, especially for printing and dyeing and textile industry wastewater has a good decolourisation effect. (3)It can generate water-insoluble precipitates with sulphide and phosphate, and then remove sulphide and phosphate.
(3) Nutritional supplement (iron fortifier); fruit and vegetable colouring agent. Such as burnt alum used in aubergine pickled products can form a stable complex salt with its pigment, to prevent discolouration caused by organic acids. However, it should be noted that if the amount of iron is too much, it will become black ink colour, and if the amount of alum is too much, the flesh of pickled aubergine will be too solid. Recipe example: 300kg of aubergine, salt 40kg, ferrous sulfate 100g, burning alum 500g.
Still can be used as black beans, sugar boiled broad beans, kelp and other colouring agents. Containing more tannin food, in order to avoid causing black change, should not be used. Can also be used for sterilization, deodorisation, but the bactericidal power is very weak. Beans contained in the cryptochrome pigment in the reduced state of colourless, alkaline oxidation is black, the use of ferrous sulfate reductive, can achieve the purpose of colour protection, the amount of 0.02% to 0.03%.
Product method of Bulk Ferrous Sulfate Powder.
It is obtained by adding dilute sulphuric acid to iron filings. The temperature of the aqueous solution at the time of crystallisation is <56.6 ‘C: when it is heptahydrate, when it is 56.6-64.4°C it is tetrahydrate, and when it is >64.4°C it is monohydrate.
How to Properly Supplement Ferrous Sulfate
Dosage and Usage
Typical dosage varies depending on age, sex, and health condition. The usual adult dose is 60-200 mg of elemental iron daily, divided into several doses. Please follow the product instructions or the advice of a healthcare professional.
Usage Tips:
Taking it with vitamin C (such as orange juice) can enhance absorption.
Avoid taking it with calcium supplements, antacids, coffee, or tea, as these may inhibit iron absorption.
It is best taken on an empty stomach, but if it causes stomach upset, it can be taken with a small amount of food.
Frequently Asked Questions about Ferrous Sulfate
Q1: How is ferrous sulfate different from other iron supplements (such as ferrous fumarate and ferrous gluconate)?
A: The main difference lies in the elemental iron content and absorption rate. Ferrous sulfate usually contains a higher percentage of elemental iron (about 20%), but may cause more gastrointestinal discomfort than other forms. The choice depends on individual tolerance and your doctor's advice.
Q2: Is it normal for my stool to turn black after taking ferrous sulfate?
A: Yes, this is a normal and harmless side effect. Unabsorbed iron can cause stool to darken or turn black, which is nothing to worry about.
Q3: Can I take ferrous sulfate with my other medications?
A: Some medications can interact with iron, including antibiotics (such as tetracyclines and quinolones), thyroid medications, and antacids. It is recommended to take them 2-4 hours apart and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Q4: How long do I need to take ferrous sulfate?
A: It usually takes 3-6 months of supplementation to replenish iron stores. Even if symptoms improve, the entire course of treatment should be completed unless otherwise instructed by a doctor.
Q5: Can children take ferrous sulfate?
A: Yes, but pediatric-specific formulations must be used and dosage guidelines must be strictly followed. Children are at higher risk of iron poisoning; please keep supplements out of reach of children.
