Useful:

• Canonical SMILES: OS(=O)(=O)O.[Fe]
• Iron Supplement for Anemia: Ferrous sulfate is commonly used as an iron supplement to correct iron deficiency anemia. However, it often causes gastrointestinal side effects. Lactoferrin, a milk-derived iron-binding glycoprotein, is suggested as an alternative due to its better gastrointestinal tolerance and fewer side effects, possibly attributed to its anti-inflammatory properties.
• Standard Oral Iron Therapy: Ferrous sulfate is considered the gold standard oral iron therapy in many countries, including the UK. It is the most commonly prescribed agent for treating nutritional iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
• Formulation and Administration: Ferrous sulfate is available in various formulations, with liquid solutions being preferred for children and individuals with difficulty swallowing tablets. For children, a daily dose of 2 mg of elemental iron/kg is recommended, and new liquid formulations have been developed to facilitate administration, with dosage adapted based on age and body weight.
• Agricultural Application: Ferrous sulfate is also used in agriculture as a fertilizer to provide essential iron micronutrients to crops. Proper selection of iron fertilizer and application methods is crucial for improving plant growth and reducing cadmium (Cd) accumulation in crops like rice. Soil-applied ferrous sulfate can enhance yield, photosynthesis, and Cd metabolism in crops, although its effectiveness may be influenced by soil conditions and interactions with other nutrients.
