Ferromedica is an Australian company that has developed, and manufactured in Australia, two clinically supported and TGA approved products for the treatment of medically diagnosed iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia.
Iron is an essential element, meaning it is not produced by the body. It has to be obtained via other means, most commonly from food.
The best sources of iron in food are found in: meat, fish, poultry beans, dark green leafy vegetables, dried fruit and nuts, tofu, eggs and iron-fortified foods (e.g. breads and cereals)
Iron deficiency is a condition in which there is not enough iron to meet the body’s needs. It can be present with or without anaemia.
Iron deficiency anaemia is a more severe form of iron deficiency.
This occurs when the body’s iron stores are so low that the body can’t make enough red blood cells.
