Summary

Oral iron supplements are a cornerstone therapy for treating iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, aiming to replenish low iron levels in the body. These supplements typically contain various iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, ferric maltol, ferrous gluconate, and ferric pyrophosphate.

Advancements in carrier systems, such as microencapsulation or complexation can enhance the absorption and bioavailability of iron supplements. By improving absorption, these carrier systems may mitigate gastrointestinal side effects and increase the efficacy of iron therapy.
