Description

Iron(II) Sodium Citrate is a coordination complex of ferrous iron and sodium citrate, offering a bioavailable and stable source of iron. This compound is crucial for applications requiring a soluble, non-reactive, and easily assimilated form of ferrous iron. It is primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and nutritional supplement industries for its efficacy and compatibility.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Grade Iron Supplement: A key active ingredient in liquid and chewable iron supplements, prenatal vitamins, and hematinic formulations to treat iron-deficiency anemia.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used as a mineral nutrient fortifier in cereals, infant formulas, meal replacement shakes, and functional beverages due to its good solubility and minimal impact on flavor and color.
• Clinical & Parenteral Nutrition: Serves as an iron source in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions and other clinical preparations where intravenous iron delivery is required.
• Dietary Supplement Manufacturing: Incorporated into capsule, tablet, and gummy formulations for over-the-counter (OTC) mineral supplements.
• Animal Feed Additive: Enhances the iron content in feed for livestock, poultry, and pets to support hemoglobin synthesis and overall health.
• Laboratory Reagent: Employed in biochemical research and as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry for iron quantification and related studies.

Quality Control

Our Iron(II) Sodium Citrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the required specifications for identity, purity, and iron content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and can be tailored to meet specific pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, EP, JP) or internal customer specifications upon request.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to air and moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere.
