Description

Ferric Choline Citrate is a specialized organometallic complex that combines bioavailable iron with choline and citric acid. This compound is engineered to enhance the stability and bioavailability of iron, making it a critical ingredient for high-performance nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the global nutraceutical, food fortification, and animal feed industries seeking a superior, well-tolerated iron source.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a key active ingredient in iron supplements, prenatal vitamins, and multivitamin/mineral complexes for human consumption.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: For the enrichment of staple foods, dairy products, and functional beverages to combat iron deficiency.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Used in the formulation of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medicinal products for treating iron-deficiency anemia.
• Animal Nutrition & Feed Premixes: Incorporated into feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to improve hemoglobin levels and overall animal health.
• Clinical & Medical Nutrition: A component in enteral and parenteral nutrition formulas for patients with specific dietary needs.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use in topical formulations aimed at skin revitalization and health due to the role of iron in cellular processes.

Quality Control

Our Ferric Choline Citrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content, aligning with guidelines for food and pharmaceutical ingredients. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting comprehensive test results are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

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 opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
