Mechanism of Action of Iron colloidal
Iron colloidal or Colloidal Ferric hydroxide provides the highest amount of elemental iron (52.26%) of the commonly available oral iron preparations. In the presence of gastric acid in the stomach, the colloidal form is converted into soluble form and is easily reduced to ferrous form by mucoproteins. Because of its better and greater absorption and minimal gastric irritation it is greatly acceptable.
