Product Description

Ferrous fumarate, molecular formula C4H2FeO4. orange-red or reddish-brown powder, odorless, almost tasteless, insoluble in water, iron content of 32%, for the same kind of iron agent in the higher iron content. In the commonly used organic ferrous, ferrous fumarate stability is higher, and stimulation is small, fast-acting, involved in a variety of biochemical reaction process in the human body. When ferrous fumarate is used as an iron fortifier, it is commonly used for supplemental food fortification, such as nutritional packets and sprinkler products, because of its high iron content and good stability. In the feed industry, ferrous fumarate is also a highly effective and widely used organic iron supplement. In medicine, ferrous fumarate can be used for the treatment of anemia caused by iron deficiency, and it is suitable for a variety of dosage forms, including capsules, granules, suspensions, tablets and so on.

Ferrous fumarate executive standard: GB 1903.46-2020.

Application characteristics of conventional ferrous fumarate

High iron content, less raw materials used for the same fortification amount.

Ferrous fumarate free Fe2+ will not become Fe3+, will not catalyze the oxidation reaction process, good stability, can be well matched with a variety of nutrients.

Fumarate ion can participate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and form ATP to supply energy for human body.

It has high absorption rate without interfering with the absorption of other elements and has no antagonistic effect with other metal elements.

Application characteristics of boutique ferrous fumarate

High purity, low impurity ions, suitable for health food and special medical special diet industry.

Low heavy metal, lead ≤ 0.05ppm, green and healthy, suitable for infants and young children special supplement food.

Small particle size of active ferrous fumarate, more suitable for fortified flour.

Low free iron, dark color is more suitable for tablets.

Uniform fineness, good tabletting effect.

Application characteristics of formulated ferrous fumarate

Granular ferrous fumarate has uniform particles, good dispersibility, strong compressibility, and is suitable for tabletting products.

After microencapsulation, ferrous fumarate has strong stability, good dispersibility, better premixing effect, and can be applied to premixed and tablet products.
