How Does Fuiron-XT Work?

Ferrous ascorbate provides iron, an essential mineral used by the body to produce haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Folic acid is a B vitamin involved in DNA synthesis and normal red blood cell formation. Together, these nutrients can help address inadequate iron and folate intake when supplementation is appropriate.

The suitability and effectiveness of supplementation depend on the person’s nutritional status, the product’s actual nutrient content and the advice of a healthcare professional.

Possible Side Effects

Iron and folic acid supplements may cause side effects in some people, including:

• Nausea or stomach discomfort.
• Constipation or diarrhoea.
• Abdominal pain or bloating.
• Dark-coloured stools, which can occur with iron supplements.
• Allergic reactions, rarely.

Seek medical advice if side effects persist or worsen. Get urgent medical help for signs of a serious allergic reaction. Accidental iron overdose can be dangerous, especially in children.
