EHb-a herbo-mineral formulations of iron (ferrous form) produced a significantly higher and dose dependent increase in the haemoglobin level, as compared to Fefol (a non-complex-chelated iron preparation). Also, EHb did not produce any overt toxicity or gastric irritation at these dose levels. The results suggest that EHb can be of a better choice in the treatment of anaemia than any other commercially available chelated iron preparations.
