Why we made it

The thinking behind it

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in India, and the most commonly abandoned supplement — because ferrous salts cause constipation, nausea and a metallic taste that most people will not tolerate for the three to six months a correction actually takes.

Haemerange uses Ferric Ammonium Citrate, which is generally better tolerated than plain ferrous sulphate, and pairs it with folic acid and cyanocobalamin so that all three inputs to red cell production are covered together. Each 15 ml tablespoonful provides 160 mg of ferric ammonium citrate, equivalent to 32.8 mg of elemental iron, with 7.5 mcg of B12 and 0.5 mg of folic acid.

It is orange flavoured for the same reason it is a syrup: the dose that gets taken is the only one that raises a haemoglobin count.

The difference

How this differs from other blood & iron products

Four things you can check on any competing label before you decide.

All three haematinics in one dose

Red cell production needs iron, folate and B12 together. Products that supply iron alone leave two of the three inputs to chance.

Ferric ammonium citrate, not ferrous sulphate

The salt choice is the difference between a course that gets finished and one abandoned in week two. Ferric ammonium citrate is generally better tolerated for gastric side effects.

Stated elemental iron

160 mg of the salt equals 32.8 mg of elemental iron, and both numbers are printed. Many labels quote only the salt weight, which overstates what you are actually getting.

Orange flavoured syrup

The metallic taste of iron is the single most cited reason patients stop. Flavour here is an adherence tool, not a garnish.

Safety information

Contains 0.87 ml alcohol (95%) per 15 ml. Iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six — keep well out of reach. Do not take alongside another iron supplement. Iron may darken the stool, which is harmless. Consult your doctor before use if you have haemochromatosis or any iron-overload condition.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Will it upset my stomach like other iron tonics?+

It is formulated with ferric ammonium citrate rather than ferrous sulphate, which is generally better tolerated. Taking it after food helps further.

Can I take it during pregnancy?+

Iron and folic acid supplementation is routine in pregnancy, but the dose and product should be confirmed by your obstetrician.

Why has my stool turned dark?+

That is a normal and harmless effect of oral iron. It is not a cause for concern.

How long until my haemoglobin improves?+

Haemoglobin typically begins to respond within a few weeks, but stores take three to six months to refill. Do not stop early just because you feel better.
