What is Active Fe?
Active Fe is a brand-name prescription supplement intended to prevent or address iron deficiency. The active ingredients in Active Fe are iron (carbonyl iron), as well as vitamins A, C, D, E, and most vitamin B complexes. Carbonyl iron is nearly pure iron–about 97.5% iron–rather than an iron salt or iron combined with amino acids or carbohydrates.
There are many reasons for iron deficiency – pregnancy, illness, poor nutrition – but the end result is not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Iron is the oxygen-carrying element in red blood cells and the only way to address iron-deficiency anemia is to take in more iron.
Although Active Fe can help iron-deficient anemia, it is not used for other types of anemia, such as pernicious anemia, which is caused by low levels of vitamin B12, or hemolytic anemia, which is caused by a variety of illnesses.
Active Fe is taken as a tablet once daily. Iron can be toxic and Active Fe has many times the daily recommended allowance, do not exceed the dose prescribed.
What are the side effects of Active Fe?
Common side effects of Active Fe include but are not limited to upset stomach, stomach cramps, constipation, diarrhea, black stools, lowered blood pressure, or drowsiness. Allergic reactions to the active ingredients are extremely rare.
Although iron is a naturally occurring and critical part of our diet, overdosing on iron can lead to iron poisoning and even death. Always follow your doctor's instructions or the suggested dosage on the supplement.
