Product Description
What is Ferrous Gluconate?
Ferrous Gluconate is a compound commonly used for iron supplementation in food, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals. It is synthesized by reacting gluconic acid with ferrous ions, providing a highly bioavailable form of iron that effectively treats iron deficiency anemia. Its chemical formula is C12H22FeO14.
Preparation Method: Ferrous Gluconate is typically prepared by reacting ferrous salts (such as ferrous sulfate) with gluconic acid under acidic conditions. This reaction results in the formation of Ferrous Gluconate, which is highly soluble and easily absorbed by the body. Ferrous Gluconate is widely used in food additives, nutritional supplements, and medicines to provide essential iron to the body.
