Description

Iron Fumarate is an essential iron salt of fumaric acid, widely recognized for its role as a bioavailable source of iron. This compound is critical for addressing iron deficiency in various industrial and nutritional applications due to its favorable stability and absorption profile. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food fortification sectors seeking a reliable and effective iron source.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Grade Iron Supplements: A primary active ingredient in tablets, capsules, and liquid formulations for treating and preventing iron-deficiency anemia.
• Nutraceutical and Dietary Fortification: Used to fortify foods, beverages, and dietary supplements, including breakfast cereals, meal replacement shakes, and prenatal vitamins.
• Animal Feed Additive: Incorporated into premixes and complete feeds for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to ensure optimal animal health and productivity.
• Food Colorant and Nutrient Stabilizer: Functions in certain food systems to provide color and to stabilize other sensitive nutrients.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a precursor or catalyst in specific organic synthesis and industrial chemical processes.

Quality Control

Our Iron Fumarate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets relevant pharmacopeial standards such as USP, EP, and BP, as well as food-grade specifications like FCC. Comprehensive testing includes assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization. A 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. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
