Description

Ferric Glycerophosphate is an inorganic iron salt of glycerophosphoric acid, serving as a vital source of bioavailable iron. This compound is valued for its stability and compatibility in formulations requiring a soluble and absorbable form of iron. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for dietary supplements and fortification, as well as in specialized food production. Ferric Glycerophosphate CAS NO 1301-70-8 meets the stringent quality demands of these sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Grade Iron Supplements: A key active ingredient in liquid and solid dosage forms, such as capsules and tablets, for treating iron-deficiency anemia.
• Nutraceutical and Dietary Fortification: Used to fortify nutritional powders, meal replacement shakes, and health drinks with essential iron.
• Food Industry Additive: Employed as a mineral nutrient in specialized food products like infant formula and medical nutrition, where precise iron content is critical.
• Cosmetic and Personal Care: Incorporated into certain skincare formulations for its potential role in skin metabolism and as a colorant.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in animal feed supplements and veterinary pharmaceuticals to prevent and treat iron deficiencies in livestock and pets.
• Research and Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in biochemical and nutritional research studies.

Quality Control

Our Ferric Glycerophosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and iron content, aligning with standards relevant for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Minimize exposure to humidity during handling to prevent caking and maintain product integrity.
