Description

Ferric Fructose is an organometallic compound where iron is complexed with fructose, offering a bioavailable source of iron. This specialized form is crucial for applications requiring high bioavailability and compatibility with sensitive formulations. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for the production of iron supplements and fortified food products.

Application

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in iron deficiency anemia medications and supplements.
• Key nutrient in nutraceutical and dietary supplement formulations, including liquid tonics and chewable tablets.
• Fortification agent for functional foods and beverages aimed at addressing nutritional gaps.
• Raw material in veterinary pharmaceuticals for animal health and nutrition.
• Component in specialized clinical nutrition products, such as enteral and parenteral feeds.
• Ingredient in research and development for novel drug delivery systems exploiting the fructose complex.

Quality Control

Our Ferric Fructose is manufactured under strict quality systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as iron content, purity, and heavy metal limits are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
