1.1. Ingredients Iron fumarate Iron fumarate is an inorganic iron salt, supplemented with a trace element that is iron ions - substances that play a particularly important role in the human body. Iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, myoglobin and the respiratory enzyme cytochrome C. Iron is absorbed through food daily, most effectively from iron found in animal meats. Normally, iron is absorbed in the duodenum and proximal jejunum. A normal person without iron deficiency, absorbs about 0.5 - 1 mg of elemental iron daily. Iron absorption is increased when iron stores are low or iron requirements are increased. Total iron absorption is increased to 1–2 mg/day in normal menstruating women and may increase to 3–4 mg/day in pregnant women. Young children and adolescents also have increased iron requirements during periods of intense growth. Sometimes, folic acid is added to iron for use in pregnant women to prevent the risk of megaloblastic anemia. The combination of folic acid with iron, such as the use of Fumanic, has a better effect on anemia during pregnancy than when using a single substance. 1.2. Folic acid Folic acid is a B vitamin or vitamin B9. In the body, folic acid is reduced to tetrahydrofolate - a coenzyme of many metabolic processes, including the synthesis of purine or pyrimidine nucleotides, thus affecting nucleoprotein synthesis and normal erythropoiesis. Folic acid deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia similar to vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. Folic acid also plays a role in participating in a number of amino acid transformations, in the formation and utilization of formate.
