Description

The most physiologically active form, iron citrate powder, namely Iron(III) Citrate (CAS No.: 3522-50-7), is a high-purity, water-soluble iron-chelate combination made for effective iron distribution. It usually has an elemental iron level of 16–18%, which is a concentration optimum for both bioavailability and formulation adaptability, and a purity of ≥98% (confirmed by titration and atomic absorption spectroscopy). Depending on the hydration state, this fine powder can be white, off-white, or pale yellowish-brown in color. It is odorless and has a mild, non-metallic taste, which sets it apart from highly tasting iron salts like ferrous sulfate.

Competitive Advantage
Superior Bioavailability vs. Inorganic Iron Salts: The citrate chelate structure prevents iron from binding to dietary antinutrients (e.g., phytates in grains, tannins in tea) and enables absorption via the body’s citrate transporters. This delivers 30%+ higher bioavailability than ferrous sulfate and 20%+ higher than ferrous fumarate, with sustained iron release to avoid toxicity.
Outstanding Gastrointestinal Tolerance: Unlike ferrous salts (which cause nausea, constipation, or stomach cramps in 40–60% of users), iron citrate is pH-neutral and gentle on the gut lining. Clinical studies confirm it reduces gastric irritation by 50% compared to ferrous fumarate—making it ideal for long-term use.
Minimal Impact on Food Quality: Its pale color (white/off-white) and mild taste eliminate the dark discoloration and metallic aftertaste associated with ferrous sulfate. This is critical for food fortification, as it preserves the color of products like white bread and the flavor of plant-based milks.
Stability Across Formulations: It resists oxidation (degradation from air/light) and maintains solubility in both acidic and neutral products (e.g., citrus drinks, protein shakes, medicinal syrups). This sets it apart from ferrous iron, which oxidizes rapidly and forms insoluble precipitates.
Multisector Versatility: It adapts seamlessly to human nutrition, food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Companies with diverse product lines (e.g., a brand that produces both iron supplements and fortified cereals) can simplify their sourcing processes.
Regulatory & Consumer Trust: It meets the strictest global standards (USP for pharmaceuticals, Codex for foods) and aligns with consumer demand for "gentle" and "effective" iron sources—particularly among health-conscious users and parents seeking child-friendly supplements.
