Biochem/physiol Actions

(+)-Iron(II) L-ascorbate or ferrous ascorbate has high potential to absorb iron in vivo compared to ferrous sulfate. In children, it is used as an effective oral iron supplement to treat iron deficiency anemia.
Iron-ascorbate (ferrous-ascorbate) is used as a reagent in cell culture and other systems to evaluate various aspects of oxidative stress and anti-oxidation mechanisms.

Thermophilic Campylobacter species colonize the intestine of agricultural and domestic animals commensally but cause severe gastroenteritis in humans. In contrast to other enteropathogenic bacteria, Campylobacter has been considered to be non-glycolytic, a metabolic property originally used for their taxonomic classification.
