Iron as ferrous fumarate from Swanson
This iron supplement from Swanson provides 18 mg of elemental iron per capsule, in the form of ferrous fumarate. Ferrous fumarate is a divalent iron compound. One capsule provides 129% of the daily reference intake. With 60 capsules per bottle, you have a two-month supply with daily use.
What iron does in the body
Iron is a mineral with multiple functions. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and to the normal transport of oxygen in the body. In addition, iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Iron also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal cognitive function, and plays a role in the process of cell division.
Why ferrous fumarate?
Ferrous fumarate is a divalent form of iron (Fe2+), bound to fumaric acid, and one of the common forms of iron in supplements. You get 18 mg of elemental iron per capsule, which corresponds to 129% of the daily reference intake.
Good to know about iron
Iron is naturally found in, among others, meat, legumes, whole grain products and green vegetables. Too much iron is not desirable, so stick to the recommended dosage. If you are pregnant, consult your midwife or doctor. If you have doubts about your iron intake, consult your general practitioner.
Practical to use
Take one capsule per day with some water. Coffee, tea and dairy can reduce the absorption of iron, so leave some time between them. Some people notice that iron darkens the stool; this is harmless in itself. Store the bottle in a dry place and out of reach of children.
In short: 18 mg of iron as ferrous fumarate, one capsule per day. We only state the permitted functions of iron and keep the rest factual.
