Astyfer is a type of iron supplement that is commonly used for treating iron deficiency anemia. It contains several ingredients including Ferrous fumarate, Glycine, L-Histidine hydrochloride, Thiamine nitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, L-Lysine hydrochloride, Ascorbic acid, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, and Cyanocobalamin¹².

The primary ingredient, Ferrous fumarate (150 mg), is a form of iron that helps to replenish low iron stores in the body, while the other components support overall nutritional health. This supplement is typically prescribed to improve iron levels and hemoglobin in patients, which is particularly important during pregnancy and postoperative recovery².

Astyfer is designed to be taken as a single capsule daily, which helps with patient compliance compared to multiple daily doses of different supplements¹.
