(Ferrum phosphoricum)

This is also called Ferrum Phos or iron phosphate and is a mineral compound of iron and phosphorus. Both these elements are present in the body independently; phosphorus supplies sustenance to bone and muscle health, while iron aids the exchange of oxygen in the blood.

Ferrum Phos is derived from mixing iron sulfate, phosphate, and sodium acetate. The resulting iron phosphate is ground with lactose to make it non-toxic.

Homoeopaths recommend Ferrum Phos for patients suffering from conditions with low energy and anaemia.
