Overview of Ferrous Sulphate Anhydrous
Ferrous Sulphate Anhydrous is a concentrated iron compound widely used for correcting iron deficiency and improving hemoglobin levels. Because it contains no water molecules, it offers higher iron potency per gram, making it effective for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
Its stable, dry form makes it convenient for tablets, capsules, premixes, and fortified food formulations. Compared to hydrated iron salts, Ferrous Sulphate Anhydrous is more compact, cost-effective, and highly efficient in bulk manufacturing.
In formulation environments, Ferrous Sulphate Anhydrous may be evaluated alongside protective additives like Sodium Metabisulfite, anticaking agents such as Silicon Dioxide, or stabilizers depending on the system, processing conditions, and desired product performance.
Ferrous Sulphate Anhydrous typically appears as an off-white to light gray powder and offers good solubility, making it ideal for supplements, syrups, and food fortification.
