Description

Fumaric Acid/Iron(II),(1:X) Salt is an organometallic coordination compound, also known as ferrous fumarate. This product is a vital source of bioavailable iron, offering superior stability and absorption characteristics compared to inorganic iron salts. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries requiring a reliable, high-purity iron supplement for human and animal nutrition. Its controlled composition ensures consistent performance in demanding formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient: Primary use as an iron supplement in tablet, capsule, and liquid formulations for treating iron-deficiency anemia.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Key component in multivitamin/mineral complexes, prenatal vitamins, and standalone iron supplements.
• Animal Feed & Pet Food Fortification: Used to enrich feed for livestock, poultry, and pets to prevent nutritional deficiencies and promote health.
• Food Fortification: Employed in the enrichment of staple foods like flour, cereals, and infant formula to address public health nutritional gaps.
• Clinical & Parenteral Nutrition: Serves as an iron source in specialized medical nutrition products and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into certain skincare products for its potential antioxidant properties and role in skin metabolism.

Quality Control

Our Fumaric Acid/Iron(II) Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It is tested to meet or exceed relevant pharmacopoeial standards such as USP, EP, and BP for identity, assay, and impurity profiles. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results for iron content, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological limits. We ensure traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for critical pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; containers must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture and air. Store away from incompatible materials.
