Ferrous Gluconate has seen many latest research progresses in the medical field. Besides its traditional use in treating iron - deficiency anemia, it also shows new application potential in facial fat - reduction, diabetes treatment and other aspects. The details are as follows:
For non - invasive facial fat - reduction: Some studies have found that the injection solution prepared from ascorbic acid and ferrous gluconate in a specific ratio (such as 1:9) can be used for non - invasive facial fat - reduction. This solution can trigger the apoptosis of adipocytes by inducing the controlled generation of reactive oxygen species, specifically through the Fenton reaction within adipocytes. Clinical cases show that after a 27 - year - old female patient received the treatment, her facial contour was significantly improved, and the shaping effect of the mandibular margin and submental area was remarkable. Moreover, only mild erythema occurred during the treatment, which subsided spontaneously soon, and no other serious adverse reactions were observed. It is expected to become a preferred option for minimally - invasive facial contouring.
As an adjuvant treatment for diabetes: Relevant research shows that ferrous gluconate tablets have a certain application prospect in diabetes treatment. Its action mechanisms include supplementing iron to promote hemoglobin synthesis and improve blood oxygen - carrying capacity; playing an antioxidant role, reducing free radical production, and alleviating the oxidative stress damage caused by diabetes; stimulating insulin secretion and improving insulin sensitivity; enhancing the body's immunity and reducing the risk of infection; improving microcirculation and relieving the symptoms of neuropathy and angiopathy in diabetes patients, etc. A number of clinical studies have shown that ferrous gluconate tablets can effectively reduce the blood sugar level of diabetes patients, with high safety and few side effects. It is applicable to various types of diabetes, including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes.
Optimizing the form of iron - supplementing preparations: In order to improve the taste of ferrous gluconate and reduce the iron - like smell, researchers have tried to compound it with other components to develop more easily - taken preparation forms, such as chewable tablets and oral liquids, so as to enhance the patient's use experience. This is helpful to improve the patient's compliance with taking medicine, especially for those who need long - term iron supplementation, such as iron - deficiency anemia patients and pregnant and lying - in women.
