A member asked:
Which is better for chronic anemia 1) ferrous gloconate 2) ferrous fumarate as a supplements for iron deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Determine the cause: Chronic anemia does not equate to iron deficiency anemia. If you have been found to have iron deficiency anemia, however, there is no real superior supplement. They can be tolerated differently in different people. The most important thing is that you find one that does not bother your stomach, so that you can take it as recommended.
