No.
If we'd look at the Molecular Formula of Folic acid, we see the following:
C19H19N7O6
In turn, the molecular formula of Ferrous Sulfate is:
FeSO4
No. Ferrous Sulfate is Iron. It will help if a person is anemic (not enough iron in their blood stream) Pantoprazole is the generic of Protonix which is for stomach/intestinal issues (Gerd/ Acid Reflux)
No, ferrous gluconate and ferrous sulfate are not the same. They are different forms of iron supplements that are used to treat iron deficiency. Ferrous sulfate contains a higher percentage of elemental iron compared to ferrous gluconate.
Ferrous sulfate is cost-effective but can cause more gastrointestinal side effects compared to ferrous fumarate and ferrous gluconate. Ferrous fumarate has a higher elemental iron content, making it more bioavailable, but it may cause less gastrointestinal irritation. Ferrous gluconate is well-tolerated but has a lower elemental iron content, requiring higher doses for the same effect as ferrous sulfate or fumarate.
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.
Ferrex mainly contains a higher dose of iron. Remember to space out calcium within a least four hours a part from iron as well as no milk products when you take your iron dose, both prevent proper absorption. Some doctors believe that iron should only be taken once daily because that is the most it will be absorbed. I have a lot of people on iron two to three times daily but from what a doctor told me at work was that it absorbs the same by taking it daily as compared to multiple times. All about absorption. Remember iron stains the mouth as well.

Folic acid. Same as bananas and broccoli.
Yes, there is no interaction.
yes.

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 shouldn't harm you, but it may not have the same effectiveness as it used to. This is not as much of an issue for folic acid as it is for vitamins, so you may not even notice a difference.
You can take the same at any time regardless of the food.
I've been trying to get pregnant, and have been taking folic acid for a few months. At the same time I found out I was anemic, so Ive been taking 3 iron pills (on the recommendation of my doctor) everyday. I take the folic acid at the same time - and I havent noticed any problems. So YES - I think you can!
No, folic acid (also known as folate) and vitamin B12 are two different B vitamins that play important roles in the body. Folic acid helps in the production of DNA and red blood cells, while vitamin B12 is needed for nerve function and DNA production. It's important to get enough of both in your diet for overall health.
No, ferric carbonate is a compound containing iron in its +3 oxidation state, while ferrous sulfate is a compound containing iron in its +2 oxidation state. They have different chemical compositions and properties.
