Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Used as a high-strength elemental iron source in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations
Preferred for iron fortification where high iron content and formulation stability are required
Exhibits excellent chemical stability with minimal reactivity toward other vitamins and minerals
Low hygroscopicity and good flow properties, suitable for tablet compression and dry blending
Requires formulation strategies to enhance bioavailability, as elemental iron has slower absorption compared to chelated forms
Commonly used in government and mass fortification programs due to cost-effectiveness and stability
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Tablets and capsules
Powders and granules
Dry syrups and sachets
Multivitamin–mineral premixes
Fortified foods and nutrition products
Veterinary and specialty nutrition formulations (where permitted)
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Available in grades compliant or aligned with USP / EP / BP / IP / FCC
Grey to black fine powder
Practically insoluble in water and alcohol; soluble in dilute acids
Strict limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and other metallic impurities
Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities with batch-wise traceability and validated analytical testing
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 data, and origin declaration
Technical support for iron equivalence calculations, formulation compatibility, 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:
Electrolytic iron is a high-elemental but lower-bioavailability iron source and should be formulated with appropriate absorption enhancers (e.g., vitamin C) and validated dosing controls to ensure safety, efficacy, and compliance with country-specific iron RDA and UL limits.
