What does it do?

Dried ferrous sulfate is an inorganic form of iron, used to supply iron in the body. It is primarily included in medications for the prevention and treatment of anemia, and helps with the production of red blood cells in the blood.

In the body, dried ferrous sulfate breaks down into iron ions, providing the iron necessary for hemoglobin synthesis in the blood. This promotes the production of red blood cells, improving oxygen transportation ability.
