Ferrous Gluconate

Description :

Overview of Ferrous Gluconate

Ferrous Gluconate is an iron-based nutritional compound widely used for treating and preventing iron deficiency and supporting hemoglobin production. It is preferred in pharmaceutical and food applications due to its excellent bioavailability, mild taste profile, and lower gastrointestinal irritation compared to other iron salts.

In formulation environments, Ferrous Gluconate may be evaluated alongside stabilizing agents such as Methyl Linoleate or corrosion-control additives like Sodium Tolyltriazole, depending on system compatibility and processing needs.

Ferrous Gluconate appears as a yellowish-gray to light green powder, offering high solubility and stability, making it suitable for tablets, capsules, syrups, and fortified foods.
