Molar mass of Ferrous ascorbate is 408 g/mol Atomic Mass of Fe is 55.8 1 mol of Ferrous ascorbate is 408 g; 55.8 g of that is Fe2+. So, 100 mg of Ferrous ascorbate will have 100x(55.8/408)=13.7 mg of elemental Fe

How much ferrous sulfate equivalent to elemental iron?
for 200mg elemental iron,how much quantity of ferrous sulfate will be taken.
How much ferrous ascorbate is equivalent to 100 mg of elemental iron?
Molar mass of Fe-fumarate is 169.8 g/molAtomic mass of Fe is 55.81 mol of Fe-fumarate is 169.8 g; 55.8 g of that is Fe2+.So, 100 mg of Fe-fumarate will have 100x(55.8/169.8)=32.8 mg of elemental FeQuestion is on ferrous ascorbate but answer is on ferrous fumarate. Confused
How much elemental iron is in ferrous gluconate?
Ferrous gluconate provides 12% elemental iron. For example if you take 100 mg ferrous gluconate you will get 12% elemental iron. Similarly Ferrous sulphate provides 20% elemental iron and Ferrous Fumarate provides 33% elemental iron that is why ferrous fumarate is best supplement for iron deficiency specially in pregnancy and lactation. Reference: British Journal of Nutrition 2001.
How much ferrous sulfate is 27 mg elemental iron?
The elemental iron is 5.4 mg
How much elemental iron is in 90 mg of ferrous fumarate?
Thirty three percent of a ferrous fumarate is retained in the form of elemental iron, so for a 90 mg dose, we'd take 33% of 90mg which equals 29.7mg of elemental iron.
How do you calculate ferrous ascorbate is equivalet to elemental iron?
100 mg ferrous ascorbate is = 14 mg iron (elemental iron is 14 %)
How much ferrous sulfate equivalent to elemental iron?
for 200mg elemental iron,how much quantity of ferrous sulfate will be taken.
What dose of ferrous gluconate in mg is equivalent to ferrous sulphate prescribed?
it is the same answer because ferrous is metal and it is equivalent gmoubarak: that is incorrect, you have to see how much elemental iron both are equivalent to and dose them by elemental iron content. ferrous sulfate is 20% elemental iron ferrous gluconate is 12% elemental iron therefore 100 mg of ferrous sulfate is 20mg elemental iron, and 100 mg of ferrous gluconate is 12 mg elemental iron. You can then use this to calculate the conversion between the too. When dosing the two you have to use elemental iron need. Hope this helps. G.Moubarak PharmD

Why ferrous ascorbate prefer instead of ferrous fumarate?
Ferrous ascorbate and ferrous fumarate are for different purposes. Ferrous fumarate is for the anemic patients those are deficient in iron while ferrous ascorbate helps retardation or prevention of Fe(II) oxidation.
How ferrous ascorbate is better than other ferrous salt in pregnancy?
There are various ferrous salts which can be given during pregnancy such as ferrous ascorbate, ferrous sulphate, ferrous fumarate, ferrous gluconate, etc. Various salts will have different proportion of elemental iron being absorbed in the body. It depends on inter-subject variability. Choice has to be made based on requirement of iron as well as better absorption of iron with minial side effects. Some patients do not have any issues with sulphate, fumarate salts whereas some may have - so the form of Iron is tailored at the beginning of treatment by gynecologist. Finally, answering to the above question, Ferrous ascorbate has better absorption profile with less side effects (though elemental iron supplied to the body is comparatively less). Hope it helps :) :)
