Description

Ferrous Ascorbate & Folic Acid Film-Coated Tablets

Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of advanced obstetrics, hematology, and targeted maternal-health therapeutics. We provide ultra-high-purity, kinetically stabilized Ferrous Ascorbate (Eq. to 100 mg Elemental Iron) & Folic Acid (1.5 mg) Film-Coated Tablets, manufactured in WHO–GMP certified, high-precision, moisture-controlled oral solid dosage facilities. This “Oxidation-Resistant Hematinic FDC” is a massive-volume, highly lucrative export to maternity hospitals, obstetrics networks, NGO prenatal programs, and government health ministries in LATAM, the CIS, Africa, and Southeast Asia, serving as the globally mandated, highly tolerable intervention for severe Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) and the prevention of fetal neural tube defects.

Product Overview

This highly advanced formulation operates as a highly efficient, dual-action blood builder. It drastically solves the two greatest problems of oral iron therapy: poor absorption and severe gastrointestinal toxicity.

The “Fe2+ Oxidation Shield & Erythropoiesis” Specialist:

• Mechanism 1 (The Ascorbate Absorption Shield): The human body can only absorb iron efficiently in its ferrous (Fe2+) state. In the alkaline environment of the small intestine, standard iron rapidly oxidizes into the unabsorbable ferric (Fe3+) state, leaving a toxic, unabsorbed sludge in the gut that causes severe constipation and nausea. Ferrous Ascorbate is a synthetic complex of iron and Vitamin C. The ascorbate acts as a powerful reducing agent, physically shielding the iron and locking it in the highly absorbable Fe2+ state, guaranteeing maximum transfer into the bloodstream.
• Mechanism 2 (The Hemoglobin Builder): Once absorbed into the bone marrow, this massive influx of elemental iron is immediately utilized by the body to synthesize heme, the core component of hemoglobin, rapidly restoring the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity in severely anemic pregnant women.
• Mechanism 3 (The Folic Acid / Neural Tube Protector): Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) is the absolute biological prerequisite for DNA synthesis and rapid cellular division. While it works synergistically with iron to manufacture new red blood cells (erythropoiesis), its most critical role is protecting the fetus. High-dose Folic Acid during early pregnancy is globally mandated to prevent catastrophic neural tube defects (like Spina Bifida) in the developing baby.

Manufacturing Authority

Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.

• Oxidation Defense & Micro-Dose Uniformity (CRITICAL COMPLIANCE): Formulating this specific hematinic requires intense atmospheric control. If the factory floor is too humid, the Ferrous Ascorbate will begin to oxidize before it is even compressed into a tablet. Our obstetrics suites utilize strict dehumidification (RH < 30%) and rapid-cycle film-coating to seal the iron core away from oxygen. Furthermore, seamlessly blending a microscopic 1.5 mg dose of Folic Acid into a massive iron base requires elite geometric dilution, guaranteeing every pregnant mother receives the exact dose required to protect her child’s neural tube.

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the targeted, highly specialized management of blood synthesis and maternal care:

• Pregnancy & Lactation: The absolute gold-standard prophylactic and curative therapy for Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) to prevent low birth weight, premature delivery, and maternal exhaustion.
• Severe Iron Deficiency Anemia: Treatment of chronic anemia associated with heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), gastrointestinal blood loss, or severe dietary deficiency.
• Post-Surgical Recovery: Rapid blood volume restoration following major trauma or surgery.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Obstetrician / Hematologist Guidelines):

• Standard Adult Dosing: 1 tablet taken daily. In severe cases of profound anemia, the dose may be increased to 1 tablet twice daily under medical supervision.
• The “Calcium Paradox” Rule: Iron must NEVER be taken at the same time as calcium supplements, milk, or dairy products. Calcium violently binds to iron in the gut, rendering both minerals completely unabsorbable. A 2-hour gap is strictly required.
• Administration: Ideally taken on an empty stomach for absolute maximum absorption, though it can be taken after meals if mild gastrointestinal upset occurs.

Safety Warnings (CRITICAL Regulatory & Clinical Data):

• FATAL PEDIATRIC WARNING (Iron Toxicity): Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6 years of age. Keep this product absolutely out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
• The “Black Stool” Phenomenon: Oral iron therapy will inevitably turn the patient’s feces a dark, tarry black color due to unabsorbed iron oxidizing in the colon. Patients must be explicitly warned of this harmless effect so they do not panic and assume they have internal gastrointestinal bleeding.
• Gastrointestinal Distress: While vastly superior to Ferrous Sulfate, Ascorbate can still cause mild nausea, epigastric pain, or constipation in highly sensitive patients.
