Description

Ferric Maltol is a coordination complex of iron (III) and maltol, designed as a highly bioavailable source of iron. This compound is critical for applications requiring efficient iron delivery with minimal gastrointestinal side effects. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for developing iron supplements and fortifying functional foods and beverages.

Application

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in prescription and over-the-counter iron deficiency anemia treatments.
• Key nutrient in dietary supplements and multivitamin formulations for enhanced iron absorption.
• Fortification agent for functional foods and medical nutrition products.
• Preclinical and clinical research material for studying iron metabolism and novel delivery systems.
• Raw material for compounding pharmacies specializing in personalized nutrition.
• Reference standard for quality control laboratories in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our Ferric Maltol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and iron content, suitable for pharmaceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting results for assay, related substances, residual solvents, and heavy metals is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place 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.
