Ferrous Gluconate Granules As An Iron Nutritional Supplement For Tablets Compressing And Solid Powder

What is ferrous gluconate ?

Ferrous Gluconate, molecular formula C12H22FeO14·nH2O (n=0 or 2), theoretical iron content 11.6%, grayish yellow or light yellowish green crystalline powder, with a slight smell of burning caramel, easily soluble in water, solubility at room temperature is about 8g/100mL. When used as a nutritional supplement (iron fortifier), ferrous gluconate can be widely used in cereal products, dairy products, infant food, beverages, health food, etc., and can also be used as a pigment additive. In medicine, ferrous gluconate has a better taste when treating iron deficiency anemia in children and has little irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.

Ferrous Gluconate Granules are a granulated form of ferrous gluconate, used as an iron nutritional supplement specifically designed for tablet compression. Granulation enhances the physical properties of ferrous gluconate, making it ideal for producing tablets with better compressibility, flowability, and stability. Ferrous gluconate is a widely used iron salt, known for its high bioavailability and relatively gentle impact on the digestive system compared to other iron supplements.

Characteristics of Ferrous Gluconate Granules

1. Good Compressibility:

• The granulated form improves the compressibility of ferrous gluconate, allowing for efficient production of tablets without the need for excessive binding agents.

2. Improved Flowability:

• Granules offer better flowability compared to fine powders, making them easier to handle in automated tablet manufacturing processes. This ensures consistent and uniform tablet formation.

3. Uniform Particle Size:

• The granules are produced with a uniform particle size, allowing for consistent tablet weight and dosing accuracy.

4. Reduced Dust Formation:

• Granules reduce the amount of dust during processing, improving worker safety and minimizing material loss.

5. High Iron Content:

• Contains approximately 11.6% - 12.5% iron, which is essential for the formulation of iron supplements.

6. Gentle on the Stomach:

• Ferrous gluconate is known for being gentler on the digestive system compared to other iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate. This reduces the likelihood of side effects like constipation or stomach upset.

7. Water Solubility:

• Freely soluble in water, making it suitable for both tablets and other oral dosage forms like powders.
