Description

Tardyferon is a pharmaceutical-grade iron supplement compound, specifically known as ferrous glycine sulfate complex. This product is essential for the formulation of effective and well-tolerated iron deficiency treatments, offering superior bioavailability and reduced gastrointestinal side effects compared to other iron salts. It is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for manufacturers in the global pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries producing oral solid and liquid dosage forms.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Primary use as the active ingredient in prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) tablets, capsules, and syrups for treating iron-deficiency anemia.
• Nutraceutical Supplements: Key component in high-quality dietary supplements, multivitamin complexes, and prenatal vitamins.
• Pediatric and Geriatric Medicines: Ideal for formulations targeting sensitive populations due to its favorable tolerability profile.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Used in animal health products for the prevention and treatment of anemia in livestock and pets.
• Clinical Nutrition: Incorporated into medical foods and enteral formulas designed for patients with specific nutritional deficiencies.

Quality Control

Our Tardyferon is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It is produced to meet exacting standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications, with a focus on consistent purity, low heavy metal content, and controlled particle size. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, identification, and impurity profiles. We ensure compliance with relevant pharmacopeial guidelines (e.g., USP, EP) and ICH stability requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
