Ferrous ascorbate is an oral iron supplement that combines ferrous iron (Fe2+) with ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It is primarily used for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia. The presence of ascorbic acid enhances the absorption of iron in the gastrointestinal tract. It is approved and widely used globally, especially in populations with high risk of iron deficiency.
