Description

Sodium Ferrous Citrate is an organometallic compound that serves as a bioavailable source of iron. This product is valued for its stability and solubility, making it an effective iron fortifier in various formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries for dietary supplements and food enrichment programs. Sodium Ferrous Citrate CAS NO 43160-25-4 is a key ingredient for addressing iron deficiency in a highly absorbable form.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: Used as an iron source in capsule, tablet, and liquid supplement formulations.
• Food Fortification: Incorporated into staple foods like flour, cereals, and infant formula to prevent nutritional deficiencies.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Serves as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in iron tonics and therapeutic treatments for anemia.
• Clinical Nutrition: A component of enteral and parenteral nutrition products for patients with specific dietary needs.
• Animal Feed Additive: Enhances the iron content in feed for livestock, poultry, and pets to support health and growth.
• Functional Beverages: Added to health drinks and sports nutrition products for mineral enrichment.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Ferrous Citrate is produced under strict quality management systems. We offer grades compliant with Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and pharmaceutical standards, ensuring suitability for human consumption and sensitive applications. All batches undergo rigorous testing for identity, purity, and heavy metal content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve stability and potency. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
