What is Fergon?
Fergon is an iron supplement used by people concerned about the amount of iron in their blood, such as athletes, pregnant women, high-achieving employees, and others. Iron is vital to the transport of oxygen in the bloodstream to the cells in the body. Fergon is sometimes prescribed to patients with iron-deficiency anemia, poor nutrition, or pregnancy—any condition involving a shortage of iron in the red blood cells.
Ferrous gluconate (an iron mineral) is the only active ingredient in Fergon. It is an iron compound that is gradually absorbed and used by the body. Vitamins that are critical in the body's use of iron, such as vitamins B3, B9, B12, and C, are not included and may require additional supplements.
What are the side effects of Fergon?
Common side effects of Fergon include but are not limited to upset stomach, stomach cramps, constipation, diarrhea, or black or bloody stools. Allergic reactions to ferrous sulfate 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.
