Description

Dextrafer CAS NO 60407-94-5 is a specialized iron carbohydrate complex, specifically designed for use in pharmaceutical and nutritional applications. This compound is valued for its enhanced bioavailability and stability, making it a superior source of iron compared to simple salts. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry for parenteral iron therapy and in the production of high-quality nutritional supplements.

Application

• Parenteral Iron Therapy: As an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in injectable formulations for treating iron deficiency anemia, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease or malabsorption issues.
• Nutritional Supplements: As a key iron source in high-potency dietary supplements, multivitamin complexes, and fortified foods due to its favorable tolerability profile.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: In formulations for treating iron deficiency in livestock, poultry, and companion animals.
• Clinical Research: As a reference standard or reagent in biochemical and pharmacological research related to iron metabolism and anemia.
• Cosmeceuticals: Potential use in topical formulations aimed at skin revitalization and addressing signs of fatigue related to poor microcirculation.
