Ferrous Gluconate 300mg 28 Tablets

Ferrous Gluconate 300mg 28 Tablets

Ferrous gluconate is a form of iron used as a source of dietary iron. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Iron also contributes to normal oxygen transport, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and has a role in normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Ferrous gluconate has a lower elemental iron content per tablet than ferrous sulphate or ferrous fumarate, which is why it’s often chosen as a gentler iron option.
