Description

Iron 1,2,3-Propanetriol-Monodihydrophosphate is an organometallic complex of iron with glycerol phosphate, offering a bioavailable source of iron in a stabilized organic matrix. This compound is valued for its enhanced solubility and bioavailability compared to inorganic iron salts, making it a superior choice for nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food fortification, and specialty chemical industries seeking a highly absorbable and organoleptically neutral iron source.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a key active ingredient in iron supplements, capsules, and liquid tonics for addressing iron deficiency.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: For enriching staple foods, dairy products, infant formula, and functional beverages without imparting metallic taste or causing discoloration.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Used in the formulation of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications for anemia treatment.
• Animal Feed & Pet Nutrition: As a premium mineral premix additive to improve livestock health, growth rates, and pet food nutritional value.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its potential role in oxygen transport and cellular repair.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a reagent or standard in studies related to iron metabolism, bioavailability, and enzymatic processes.

Quality Control

Our Iron Glycerophosphate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for nutritional and pharmaceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing parameters such as iron content, heavy metals, and microbiological limits. We can supply grades compliant with relevant pharmacopeial monographs (e.g., USP, EP) upon request.

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). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider keeping under an inert atmosphere. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
