Description

Iron Succinate is an organometallic compound of iron and succinic acid, known for its role as a bioavailable iron source. This compound is valued for its controlled release of iron ions, making it a critical ingredient in nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the dietary supplement, food fortification, and animal feed industries seeking a stable and effective iron supplement.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key active ingredient in iron supplements, tablets, and capsules for addressing iron deficiency.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich staple foods, cereals, and nutritional beverages with bioavailable iron.
• Animal Feed Premixes: Incorporated into feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to promote hemoglobin synthesis and overall health.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a precursor or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in specific medicinal formulations.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used in specialized skincare products for its mineral content and potential stabilizing properties.
• Laboratory & Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in biochemical and nutritional studies.

Quality Control

Our Iron Succinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing results for key parameters such as assay, iron content, and impurity profiles. We can support compliance with relevant standards including FCC and pharmaceutical-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
