Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Considered a premium elemental iron source with superior safety profile compared to conventional reduced or electrolytic iron
Fine particle size enables better dispersion and improved bioavailability among elemental iron forms
Exhibits excellent chemical stability, minimal interaction with vitamins, fats, and herbal actives
Low risk of oxidative discoloration, off-taste, and formulation incompatibility
Widely used in pediatric, prenatal, and geriatric formulations due to controlled absorption and reduced GI irritation
Preferred in high-quality tablets, capsules, and fortified nutrition products
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Tablets and capsules
Powders, granules, and sachets
Dry syrups
Multivitamin–mineral premixes
Fortified foods and nutrition products
Pediatric and maternal nutrition formulations
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Available in grades compliant or aligned with USP / EP / BP / IP / FCC
Grey to black, very fine free-flowing powder
Practically insoluble in water and alcohol; soluble in dilute acids
Strict limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and nickel
Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities with batch-wise traceability and validated analytical testing (particle size, purity, assay)
Animal-Origin Declaration:
100% non-animal origin
Free from BSE/TSE, GMO, and allergen risks
Manufacturing Support:
Supplied with COA, SDS/MSDS, TDS, particle size distribution data, and origin declaration
Technical support for iron equivalence calculations, formulation optimization, and label claim compliance
Regulatory and documentation support available for global resale, export, and international distribution
Suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food supplement, and healthcare product manufacturing worldwide, subject to local regulatory approvals
Important Note:
Carbonyl iron provides high elemental iron with controlled absorption and superior tolerability. It is regarded as one of the safest elemental iron forms, but formulations must still comply with country-specific iron RDA and UL limits for international markets.
