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.

for 200mg elemental iron,how much quantity of ferrous sulfate will be taken.
The elemental iron is 5.4 mg
65 mg of elemental iron.
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.
Molar mass of Ferrous ascorbate is 408 g/mol Atomic mass of Fe is 55.8 1 mol of Ferrous ascorbate is 408 g; 55.8 g of that is Fe2+. So, 100 mg of Ferrous ascorbate will have 100x(55.8/408)=13.7 mg of elemental Fe
it is the same answer because ferrous is metal and it is equivalent gmoubarak: that is incorrect, you have to see how much elemental iron both are equivalent to and dose them by elemental iron content. ferrous sulfate is 20% elemental iron ferrous gluconate is 12% elemental iron therefore 100 mg of ferrous sulfate is 20mg elemental iron, and 100 mg of ferrous gluconate is 12 mg elemental iron. You can then use this to calculate the conversion between the too. When dosing the two you have to use elemental iron need. Hope this helps. G.Moubarak PharmD

it's iron
Metals having iron contents that is fe in them are comes in the category of ferrous metals thats why thy are called Feerous metals because of the presence of Fe. on the other side non- ferrous metals does not have iron content.
