Iron(II) fumarate is a form of ferrous iron used for oral replacement therapy in iron-deficiency anemia. (50 mg of iron fumarate corresponds to 15 mg of iron.)

Iron is found in many animal products, such as meat and meat products. However, plant-based foods also contain iron, for example potatoes, bread and vegetables. The recommended daily intake depends on age and sex. Women often need more iron than men because of iron loss during menstruation. During pregnancy, women need more iron for the formation of the placenta and the development of the baby. It is important for athletes to consume enough iron. Iron supports oxygen transport, energy metabolism, the immune system and cognitive function. All of these are bodily functions that contribute to our physical and mental performance.

Iron is absorbed in the intestine only in its ferrous form. It should be taken on an empty stomach, as iron absorption is greatest then. However, sensitive individuals may experience gastrointestinal discomfort. Taking vitamin C at the same time may improve tolerability.
