Ferrous Sulfate Monohydrate

Ferrous sulfate monohydrate is a chemical compound composed of iron, sulfur, and water. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to address iron deficiency anemia, a condition characterized by low levels of red blood cells due to insufficient iron intake or absorption. The monohydrate form indicates that it contains one molecule of water per molecule of ferrous sulfate. It is also used in various industrial applications such as water treatment and as a precursor in the production of other iron compounds. Ferrous sulfate monohydrate is typically available in the form of a pale blue-green crystalline solid or a powder.
