What is the difference between the tablets ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulphate?
Ferrous fumarate is an organic iron, which is absorbed better than ferrous sulphate, an in-organic iron. Ferrous sulphate may cause intestinal side effects, such as constipation, nausea, bloating...in many users, so it is produced in enteric-coated form, which may not absorbed as well as standard supplement. Ferrous fumarate is readily absorbed and less likely to cause intestinal side effects.

Ferrous fumarate causes far less constipation and stomach irritation compared with ferrous sulfate. Ferrous gluconate is also less constipating, but still is more so than fumarate.
How much ferrous ascorbate is equivalent to 100 mg of elemental iron?
Molar mass of Fe-fumarate is 169.8 g/molAtomic mass of Fe is 55.81 mol of Fe-fumarate is 169.8 g; 55.8 g of that is Fe2+.So, 100 mg of Fe-fumarate will have 100x(55.8/169.8)=32.8 mg of elemental FeQuestion is on ferrous ascorbate but answer is on ferrous fumarate. Confused
How much elemental iron is in ferrous gluconate?
Ferrous gluconate provides 12% elemental iron. For example if you take 100 mg ferrous gluconate you will get 12% elemental iron. Similarly Ferrous sulphate provides 20% elemental iron and Ferrous Fumarate provides 33% elemental iron that is why ferrous fumarate is best supplement for iron deficiency specially in pregnancy and lactation. Reference: British Journal of Nutrition 2001.
How much elemental iron is in 90 mg of ferrous fumarate?
Thirty three percent of a ferrous fumarate is retained in the form of elemental iron, so for a 90 mg dose, we'd take 33% of 90mg which equals 29.7mg of elemental iron.

How ferrous ascorbate is better than other ferrous salt in pregnancy?
There are various ferrous salts which can be given during pregnancy such as ferrous ascorbate, ferrous sulphate, ferrous fumarate, ferrous gluconate, etc. Various salts will have different proportion of elemental iron being absorbed in the body. It depends on inter-subject variability. Choice has to be made based on requirement of iron as well as better absorption of iron with minial side effects. Some patients do not have any issues with sulphate, fumarate salts whereas some may have - so the form of Iron is tailored at the beginning of treatment by gynecologist. Finally, answering to the above question, Ferrous ascorbate has better absorption profile with less side effects (though elemental iron supplied to the body is comparatively less). Hope it helps :) :)
