Description

Iron Trisglycinate is a highly bioavailable, chelated form of iron where the iron ion is bound to three glycine molecules. This compound is specifically engineered to offer superior absorption and gastrointestinal tolerance compared to conventional iron salts, making it a critical ingredient for addressing iron deficiency. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional food industries to fortify products such as dietary supplements, infant formulas, and clinical nutrition solutions.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: A key active ingredient in capsules, tablets, and liquid formulations aimed at preventing and treating iron deficiency anemia.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich staple foods, breakfast cereals, and nutritional beverages (e.g., meal replacement shakes) due to its neutral flavor and minimal interaction with food matrices.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Incorporated into prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medicinal products for iron supplementation.
• Clinical & Pediatric Nutrition: Essential for infant formula and specialized medical nutrition products where gentle absorption and high bioavailability are paramount.
• Animal Feed & Pet Nutrition: Serves as a premium mineral supplement in feed premixes for livestock, poultry, and companion animals to support health and productivity.

Quality Control

Our Iron Trisglycinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) to support compliance with relevant standards for food, dietary supplement, and pharmaceutical applications.

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 absorption of atmospheric moisture.
