Description

Iron Saccharate is a stable, water-soluble complex of iron and sucrose, primarily used as a source of bioavailable iron. This compound is valued for its high stability and efficacy in delivering iron in a form that is well-tolerated and readily absorbed. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, particularly for formulating injectable and oral iron supplements to treat iron-deficiency anemia.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: As an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in injectable and oral iron replacement therapies.
• Nutraceutical Supplements: Key component in dietary supplements and fortified foods designed to boost iron intake.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in iron-dextran alternatives for iron supplementation in livestock and pets.
• Clinical Nutrition: Incorporated into parenteral and enteral nutrition solutions for patients with specific dietary needs.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in biochemical and pharmaceutical research studies.
