Product Description

United Research Labs - Ferrous Sulfate Film Coated Green Tablets 325 mg. - 100 Tablets United Research Labs Ferrous Sulfate tablets contain 65 mg of elemental iron for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia when such therapy has been recommended by a physician. Ferrous sulfate is a type of iron. You normally get iron from the foods you eat. In your body, iron becomes a part of your hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen through your blood to tisues and organs. Myoglobin helps your muscle cells store oxygen. Ferrous Sulfate is an essential body mineral. Ferrous sulfate is used to treat iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by having too little iron in the body). Why iron is importantIron is essential for healthy red blood cells. Iron is part of the hemoglobin molecule that gives red blood cells their color. When oxygen moves from your lungs into the blood, iron helps your red blood cells to pick up the oxygen and to carry it to all parts of your body. You may not notice it right away, but after living some time with low iron in your blood, you may feel tired, weak, and irritable. Iron deficiency means that you have low iron levels in your blood. Iron deficiency is a serious condition. Iron deficiency can cause fatigue that interferes with your daily routine. People with iron deficiency often have trouble concentrating or remembering things. Iron deficiency can lead to irregular heartbeats, chest pain, and even a heart attack. Mothers with iron deficiency often give birth to underweight or preterm babies. Common causes of iron deficiency anemiaIron deficiency anemia can be caused by anything that puts unusual demands on the body's iron stores. Sometimes it is caused by an exceptional blood loss, but at other times it can be the result of the body's need for iron for other purposes.
