Product details
Ferrous fumarate is absorbed in animals as ferrous ions in the duodenum and upper jejunum.
Most of the absorbed iron is involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin in the bone marrow, and the remainder is stored as ferritin and ferrohemoglobin in the reticuloendothelial cells of the bone marrow, liver, and spleen, with an additional portion present in the cells of the intestinal mucosa.
This absorption method is different from inorganic iron supplements (ferrous sulfate, ferrous carbonate and iron oxide, etc.), which can alleviate the competitive antagonism between trace elements when absorbed, does not destroy vitamins, and does not catalyze oxidation reactions, and each nutrient has a good compatibility, and can pass the body's absorption barrier, not only greatly improve the absorption and utilization of iron, but also improve the absorption rate of other elements.
Iron is excreted mainly through the intestinal tract and the skin, with small amounts also excreted in the urine and sweat glands. Most of the iron can be reused when it is released after the hemoglobin molecule is destroyed.
What is Iron Fumarate?
Iron Fumarate is an organic iron compound formed by the combination of iron ions and fumaric acid. This unique chemical structure makes it more readily recognized and absorbed by the body, offering higher bioavailability and a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation compared to traditional inorganic iron salts (such as ferrous sulfate).
Key Characteristics:
Chemical Stability: Remains stable in various supplement formulations
High Elemental Iron Content: Approximately 33% elemental iron content, offering excellent efficiency
pH Adaptability: Maintains an absorbable form within the gastrointestinal pH range
Good Compatibility: Easily synergistically formulated with other vitamins and minerals.
Uses of Iron Fumarate.
Ferrous fumarate, as a food iron fortifier, is better absorbed than inorganic iron. In China, it can be used in salt and sandwich candies at 1800-1600mg/kg; in high-iron cereals and their products (daily limit of 50g of such foods) at 520-580mg/kg; in dairy products and infant foods at 180-300mg/kg; in cereals and their products at 70-150mg/kg; and in beverages at 30-60mg/kg. kg.
Ferrous fumarate is an anti-anemia drug. Anemia is divided into iron deficiency anemia, megaloblastic anemia and aplastic anemia according to different etiologies. Ferrous fumarate is used for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia, which has high iron content, good absorption, and is difficult to be oxidized into trivalent iron, and the serum iron value rises soon after serving and can be kept stable. The oral LD50 of mice is 480mg/kg.
Product Method of Bulk Iron Fumarate Powder.
It is obtained by replacing sodium transbutylene diacid with ferrous sulfate. Heat water to boiling, add transbutylene succinate with stirring, add sodium carbonate to pH=6.5-6.7 in stages, stir well and filter while hot, get sodium transbutylene succinate solution.
Add ferrous sulfate solution, stirring and heating reflux 3-4h, cooling crystallization, shake filter. The filter cake is washed with distilled water until the sulfate meets the requirements, dry, get ferrous fumarate, yield 83%.
Frequently Asked Questions about Iron Fumarate
Q1: What are the advantages of Iron Fumarate compared to other forms of iron supplements?
A: The main advantage of Iron Fumarate is its balance between high bioavailability and good gastrointestinal tolerability. It carries a lower risk of causing gastrointestinal discomfort compared to ferrous sulfate; and it is generally more cost-effective and has a higher elemental iron content compared to chelated iron.
Q2: Is Iron Fumarate suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes, Iron Fumarate itself does not contain animal ingredients and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. However, you should check the specific product's other ingredients and capsule material to ensure they meet vegetarian standards before purchasing.
Q3: How long does it usually take to feel the effects of Iron Fumarate supplementation?
A: This depends on the individual's degree of iron deficiency and absorption capacity. Most people will see improvement in iron deficiency symptoms (such as fatigue and paleness) after 4-6 weeks of continuous supplementation, but full restoration of iron reserves may take 3-6 months.
Q4: Can Iron Fumarate be taken with other supplements?
A: Iron absorption may be affected by certain substances. It is recommended to avoid taking Iron Fumarate with calcium supplements, antacids, coffee, or tea, as these may inhibit iron absorption. Taking it with Vitamin C can enhance iron absorption. It is recommended to take different supplements at least 2 hours apart.
Q5: How to determine the quality of Iron Fumarate products?
A: Check if the product indicates compliance with USP or similar quality standards, whether there is third-party purity testing, and whether the manufacturer follows GMP standards. High-quality products usually provide detailed testing certificates and ingredient traceability information.
