DescriptionIron can be supplemented orally using various chemical formulations. Among them, the one based on the ferrous glycine sulfate (known as ferroglycine sulfate complex; FeGS) is very favourable due to a reduced presence of gastrointestinal side effects compared to standard preparations based on iron fumarate. FeGS is a FeII complex with the amino acid glycine. The 1:2 metal-to-ligand ratio restricts reaction with dietary inhibitors of iron absorption, neutralizes the valence of the ferrous FeII, and protects gastrointestinal surfaces from irritation by metal cations. Therefore, this structure makes FeGS an ideal fortifier, especially for foods with a high content of absorption inhibitors such as phytate[1].

DefinitionIron(II) gluconate (a ferrous gluconate) is used to treat hypochromic anemia. The real problem of iron therapy is not the theoretical utilization of iron, the reticulocyte response, or even the daily increase of hemoglobin. These are important only as they indicate the return of the patients' blood to normal in a reasonably short time without undue inconvenience. Most patients suffering from hypochromic anemia respond well to most forms of iron when administered in adequate dosage. For patients who cannot tolerate the usual iron compounds, it is essential to have a medication that is effective and causes minimum disturbance. Ferrous gluconate is such a medicament.
