Micronized Iron Pyrophosphate is a finely ground form of iron pyrophosphate, which is used in iron supplements due to its stability and non-reactive nature. Coating the iron particles with starch and lecithin further enhances its bioavailability and reduces gastrointestinal side effects, making it gentler on the digestive system. This form of iron is particularly suitable for fortifying food products, especially where color and taste need to be minimally affected.
Micronized Iron Pyrophosphate coated with starch and lecithin, as well as Iron Liposomal, is an innovative form of iron supplementation ingredient aimed at improving the bioavailability, digestibility, and stability of iron in various formulations. These advanced technologies are particularly beneficial in iron supplementation products such as capsules, tablets, and fortified foods. This article explores the benefits, applications, and functionalities of both Micronized Iron Pyrophosphate and Iron Liposomal forms.
1. Superior Absorption:
• Liposomal encapsulation significantly enhances the bioavailability of iron by allowing it to be absorbed directly through the intestinal walls and into the bloodstream, bypassing some of the traditional absorption barriers.
2. Minimal Side Effects:
• Iron Liposomal technology helps reduce common side effects associated with iron supplements, such as nausea, constipation, and metallic taste. This makes it a preferred option for individuals with sensitive digestive systems.
3. Controlled Release:
• The liposomal structure ensures a gradual release of iron, providing a sustained and steady supply of iron over time, leading to better iron supplementation outcomes.
4. Protection from Oxidation:
• Liposomes protect iron from oxidative degradation, ensuring that the iron remains stable and effective for a longer period.

1. Dietary Supplements:
• Both forms are suitable for capsules and tablet formulations, providing an efficient and well-tolerated way to address iron deficiencies.
2. Fortified Foods:
• Micronized Iron Pyrophosphate is widely used in fortified cereals, breads, baby foods, and dairy products, where it offers stability and minimal sensory impact.
3. Beverages:
• Iron Liposomal is ideal for liquid formulations, including fortified juices, smoothies, and nutritional drinks, due to its excellent solubility and taste masking properties.
4. Pharmaceuticals:
• Both forms can be incorporated into pharmaceutical preparations for treating iron deficiency in individuals who require enhanced iron supplementation, such as those with anemia or malabsorption conditions.
1. Enhanced Stability and Shelf Life:
• The starch and lecithin coatings, as well as the liposomal encapsulation, offer protection against oxidation and degradation, ensuring a long shelf life for the product.
2. Minimal Sensory Impact:
• Micronized Iron Pyrophosphate offers minimal impact on taste, color, and texture, making it ideal for a variety of food fortification applications.
3. Improved Consumer Compliance:
• Iron Liposomal offers a gentler alternative to traditional iron supplements, leading to better compliance among users due to the reduced side effects and improved absorption.
Our company provides three categories of ferric pyrophosphate products: standard ferric pyrophosphate, refined ferric pyrophosphate, and customized formulations. These products are widely used in industries such as dairy, infant nutrition, health food, and beverages.
Through ongoing technological innovation and exploration of new possibilities in mineral nutrition, we are committed to delivering tailored solutions and expert services to our clients.
1. Purification Technology: By utilizing advanced purification methods, we reduce the manganese ion content in ferric pyrophosphate during production and increase phosphorus levels. This balance helps maintain food product stability, preventing nutrient degradation and ensuring long-lasting quality.
2. Activation Technology: Activation technology enhances the specific surface area of ferric pyrophosphate, improving its suspension, dispersibility, and bioavailability. This contributes to better stability in food products. Our unique sterilization process, carried out on standardized production lines, ensures strict microbial control, making the product safer and suitable for use in milk powders and health foods.
3. Microcrystalline Granulation Technology: Microcrystalline granulation improves the flowability of ferric pyrophosphate, resulting in uniform, controlled particle sizes with excellent compressibility, making it easier and quicker to use in tablet formulations. When ferric pyrophosphate is treated with microencapsulation technology, it isolates the catalytic reaction between iron ions and fats in high-fat foods, preventing rancidity and extending the shelf life of products.
