✅ Description:
Ferrous Ascorbate (Iron + Ascorbic Acid)
- Structure and Stability:
- Ferrous ascorbate is a stable complex combining iron (Fe²⁺) with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).
- It does not dissociate in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, ensuring efficient absorption and reducing the inhibitory effects of food on iron uptake.
- Mechanism of Action:
- Ascorbic Acid:
- Enhances the bioavailability of iron by maintaining it in the ferrous (Fe²⁺) state, which is more soluble and readily absorbed.
- Facilitates the transport of iron to storage sites in tissues.
- Acts as a reducing agent, preventing iron oxidation (to the less absorbable Fe³⁺ state) and aiding its incorporation into red blood cells.
- Iron:
- Essential for hemoglobin synthesis, which is critical for oxygen transport in the blood.
- Serves as a cofactor for enzymes like cytochromes, involved in energy production (electron transport chain).
- Helps in the formation of myoglobin and various enzymatic processes.
- Ascorbic Acid:
Folic Acid (Vitamin B9)
- Role in the Body:
- Necessary for nucleoprotein synthesis (DNA and RNA production).
- Supports normal erythropoiesis (red blood cell production), ensuring healthy oxygen transport.
- Prevents neural tube defects during early fetal development, making it vital for pregnant women.
- Metabolism:
- Folic acid is converted to its active form, tetrahydrofolic acid, in the liver and plasma via the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase.
- Involved in the synthesis of purines and thymidylate, critical for DNA replication.
Zinc
- Biological Importance:
- Acts as a cofactor for more than 100 enzymes, influencing various metabolic pathways.
- Crucial for DNA synthesis, cell division, and protein synthesis.
- Supports a healthy immune system, helping the body fight infections.
- Plays a role in maintaining the sense of smell and taste.
- May assist in the proper functioning of insulin, improving glucose metabolism.
This combination of ferrous ascorbate, folic acid, and zinc offers a comprehensive solution for:
- Treating iron-deficiency anemia.
- Supporting pregnancy and fetal development.
- Enhancing immune and enzymatic functions through adequate zinc levels.

- Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) enhances iron absorption and maintains its bioavailability.
Folic Acid (Vitamin B9):
- Supports red blood cell production and nucleic acid synthesis.
- Prevents neural tube defects in pregnancy.
Zinc:
- Plays a role in over 100 enzymatic processes, DNA synthesis, immune function, and insulin regulation.
✔️ Overdose Effects of Zif-A Tablet
Symptoms:
- Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension, seizures, and coma.
Action: Seek immediate medical attention in case of overdose.
✔️ Side Effects of Zif-A Tablet
- Common:
- Gastrointestinal discomfort: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn.
- Rare/Serious:
- Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling).
✔️ Dosage & Administration of Zif-A Tablet
Adults:

Children (Over 1 Year):
- 1 capsule daily.
Elderly:
- 1 capsule daily or as prescribed by a physician.
✔️ Drug Interactions
- Tetracyclines and Antacids: May reduce iron absorption.
- Chloramphenicol: This may delay the response to iron therapy.
- Levodopa, Methyldopa, Penicillamine: Absorption may be reduced when taken together.
- Quinolones and Tetracyclines: Reduced efficacy due to impaired absorption of both drugs.
Recommendation: Avoid taking these medications within 2 hours of this supplement.
✔️ Contraindications:
- Hypersensitivity to any ingredients.
- Folic acid is contraindicated in untreated cobalamin (Vitamin B12) deficiency, as it may mask symptoms of pernicious anemia.
- Hemolytic anemia or other conditions with increased iron content in the body.
✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation
- Safe during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
- Avoid during the first trimester unless there is confirmed evidence of iron deficiency.
- Zinc supplementation is especially recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
✔️ Key Advantages of the Ferrous Ascorbate Complex
- Improved Iron Utilization:
- Unlike other iron salts, ferrous ascorbate ensures high bioavailability of iron without dissociating in the GI tract, thus reducing side effects like nausea or constipation.
- Resistance to Food Inhibitors:
- Unlike ferrous sulfate, this complex is not significantly affected by phytates or tannins in the diet, allowing consistent absorption even with food.
- Direct Impact on Erythropoiesis:
- Ascorbic acid not only aids iron absorption but also has a direct effect on red blood cell production.
✔️ Precautions & Warnings
- Use cautiously in conditions such as:
- Iron Overload Disorders (e.g., hemochromatosis, hemolytic anemia, red cell aplasia).
- Renal Failure, where zinc accumulation risk exists.
- Failure to respond to treatment may indicate another cause of anemia and should be investigated.
- Avoid concurrent use with tetracyclines, antacids, or other medications that may interact with iron absorption.
✔️ Storage:
- Store below 30°C, away from light and moisture.
- Keep out of reach of children.
