Ferrous Bisglycinate

Ferrous bisglycinate is a chelate in which one divalent iron ion is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Nustras supplies it as a powder, in standard and micronised grades, as an iron source for dietary supplements and fortified foods.

It is formulated into iron tablets, capsules and chewables; into prenatal and multi-mineral products; into fortified cereals, flours and dairy and plant-based beverages; into nutritional and sports powders; into gummies and liquid supplements; and into feed premixes.

Ferrous bisglycinate is supplied as a yellowish-green to grey-green powder (CAS 20150-34-9, molecular formula C4H8FeN2O4, molecular weight 203.96). Iron content, glycine content, chelation and loss on drying are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and iron by titration or ICP. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies ferrous bisglycinate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Ferrous bisglycinate is a permitted iron source for supplements and fortified foods in major markets; buyers confirm the elemental-iron contribution, grade and permitted level for their application.
