Iron(II) fumarate, also known as ferrous fumarate, is the iron(II) salt of fumaric acid, occurring as a reddish-orange powder, used to supplement iron intake. It has the chemical formula {{chem2|auto=1|C4H2FeO4}}. Pure ferrous fumarate has an iron content of 32.87%, therefore one tablet of 300 mg iron fumarate will contain 98.6 mg of iron (548% Daily Value based on 18 mg RDI).
Iron supplement
Ferrous fumarate is often taken orally as an iron supplement to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia.{{Cite journal |last=Santiago |first=Palacios |date=2012-05-02 |title=Ferrous versus Ferric Oral Iron Formulations for the Treatment of Iron Deficiency: A Clinical Overview |journal=The Scientific World Journal |language=en |volume=2012 |pages=e846824 |doi=10.1100/2012/846824 |pmid=22654638 |pmc=3354642 |issn=2356-6140|doi-access=free }} Mixtures of ferrous fumarate and potassium iodate, "double fortified salt", are used to address both iron and iodine deficiencies.{{cite journal |doi=10.1111/mcn.12773 |title=Improving the lives of millions through new double fortification of salt technology |date=2019 |last1=Diosady |first1=Levente L. |last2=Mannar |first2=M.G.
