Ferrous Gluconate Dihydrate

Ferrous gluconate dihydrate is the iron(II) salt of gluconic acid in its dihydrate form, a source of ferrous iron (Fe2+) used in mineral supplements and food fortification. Nustras supplies it as a powder and as a granular grade for tableting. Iron is an essential trace element and a component of haemoglobin and many enzymes.

Ferrous gluconate dihydrate is formulated into iron and multimineral tablets, capsules and chewables, prenatal and multivitamin-mineral premixes, fortified flour and cereal products, and medical nutrition formulas. The granular grade is intended for direct compression; the powder grade suits capsules, sachets and dry blends.

The material is standardised to specification for ferrous iron content, with identity and assay determined by titration or an equivalent compendial method. CAS 6047-12-7, molecular formula C12H26FeO16, molecular weight 482.17. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies ferrous gluconate dihydrate 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 gluconate is a permitted iron source in major supplement and food markets; buyers confirm the elemental-iron contribution and permitted level for their application.
