Iron is essential for producing haemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. When your body does not have enough iron, this is called iron deficiency anaemia. It can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, tiredness, heart palpitations and pale skin. Iron deficiency anaemia is often the result of blood loss or pregnancy. It may also be used to treat anaemia as the result of rheumatoid arthritis in children and adults.
Sodium Feredetate is a form of iron that is well-tolerated and less likely to cause stomach upset. This makes it an ideal choice for pregnant women suffering from iron deficiency anaemia. This form of iron supplement does not cause tooth discolouration. The best way to confirm iron deficiency anaemia is with a blood test. This will check if the levels of serum iron in the blood are within the normal range. Deficiencies are common and easily treated with an iron supplement such as Sodium Feredetate Iron.
This Sodium Feredetate Iron supplement is a sugar-free formulation with a natural black cherry flavouring. Side effects of taking this supplement may include stomach upset or diarrhoea in the early stages of treatment. These symptoms will go away once you stop taking the supplement. You can then resume taking the supplement at a lower dose.
