Iron succinate is an oral iron supplement for the treatment of iron deficiency (ID). Iron succinate increases ferritin and transferrin saturation in non-anaemic heart failure and iron deficient patients and can significantly increase iron uptake in patients with heart failure (HF), nearly doubling ferritin levels and increasing TSAT. Patients with HFrEF or HFpEF appear to have a similar response[1].
