Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Used as a highly stable iodine source in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food-fortification applications
Preferred over iodide salts in many countries due to superior oxidative stability and longer shelf life
Widely employed in iodized salt programs, multivitamin–mineral supplements, and public health nutrition
Provides controlled iodine release after metabolic reduction to iodide in the body
Minimal interaction with other vitamins and minerals in dry blends
Requires precise micro-dosing because iodine has a narrow safety range
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Tablets and capsules
Powders and sachets
Multivitamin–mineral premixes
Iodized salt and food-fortification systems
Veterinary and specialty nutrition products (where permitted)

Available in grades compliant or aligned with USP / EP / BP / IP / FCC / FAO–WHO (JECFA)
White crystalline powder
Freely soluble in water; insoluble in alcohol
Strong oxidizing agent; compatible excipient selection is required
Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities with full batch traceability and validated analytical testing
Animal-Origin Declaration:
100% non-animal origin
