Ferrous lactate is an iron(II) salt of lactic acid, with the chemical formula Fe(C3H5O3)2. It is a pale green, crystalline compound that is highly soluble in water. It is commonly used as an iron supplement, particularly in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Ferrous lactate is produced by reacting lactic acid with iron oxide. It is well-absorbed by the body and has a low incidence of gastrointestinal side effects. Studies have shown that ferrous lactate is effective in increasing iron levels in individuals with iron deficiency. Its importance lies in its ability to address iron deficiency, a prevalent nutritional problem globally. Research continues to investigate its potential applications in various areas, including its role in enhancing athletic performance and promoting cognitive function. '
