What is Ferrous Gluconate? – Overview and Key Benefits
Ferrous Gluconate is an iron (II) salt of gluconic acid, widely used as an iron supplement and in food fortification. It is known for its:
- High purity and bioavailability for effective iron supplementation
- Excellent solubility in water
- Stability particularly in solid forms like tablets and capsules
- Safe usage in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical formulations
- Mild, slightly metallic taste suitable for liquids and solids
- Compliance with international quality standards such as USP-NF and FCC
Its physical form is typically a crystalline powder, with a yellowish-gray to greenish-gray appearance and good water solubility.
