Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Used as a stable iron source with lower reactivity than ferrous sulphate
Ferrous form supports effective iron absorption and hemoglobin synthesis
Phosphate matrix helps reduce metallic taste and gastrointestinal irritation
Exhibits good stability in dry blends and multivitamin–mineral premixes
Often selected for formulations requiring controlled iron release and improved shelf life
May require formulation aids (acidifiers or vitamin C) to enhance bioavailability
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Tablets and capsules
Powders, granules, and sachets
Dry syrups
Multivitamin–mineral premixes
Fortified foods and nutrition products
Veterinary and specialty healthcare formulations (where permitted)
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Available in grades aligned with USP / EP / BP / IP / FCC (iron phosphate specifications)
Greyish-white to pale green powder
Practically insoluble in water; soluble in dilute acids
Strict limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and residual phosphates
Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities with full batch 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, specification sheet, assay method, and origin declaration
Technical support for iron equivalence calculations, formulation optimization, and stability management
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:
Ferrous orthophosphate is a moderately bioavailable iron source with good stability and tolerability. Final dosage and labeling must strictly comply with country-specific iron RDA and UL limits for safe global distribution.
