Food Grade Ferrous Lacate with Ferrous ion easily absorbed by Human body for Oral solution and Beverages

What is ferrous Lacate ?

Ferrous lactate is an organic substance with the chemical formula C6H10FeO6, greenish-white crystalline powder or crystals. It has a slight odor and a slightly sweet metallic taste.

This product becomes yellow-brown containing orthoferric salts when it is damp or its aqueous solution is oxidized. Light can promote oxidation. Iron ions react with other food additives and are easy to color. It dissolves in water to form a greenish transparent liquid.

Iron salts are essential trace elements for humans and animals. L-ferrous lactate is widely used in food, beverages, dairy products, salt, and nutrient solution industries as a nutritional supplement (iron enhancer).

Ferrous Lactate is an iron salt of lactic acid, known for its excellent solubility and high bioavailability. It provides a reliable source of ferrous ions (Fe²⁺), which are essential for hemoglobin production, oxygen transport, and overall cellular function. Ferrous Lactate is particularly effective in oral solutions and beverages due to its superior solubility and ease of absorption by the body, making it a preferred choice for addressing iron-deficiency anemia.

Advantages of Ferrous Lactate as a Source of Iron

1. Easily Absorbed Ferrous Ion (Fe²⁺)

Ferrous Lactate provides ferrous ions in a highly bioavailable form, making it easy for the body to absorb and utilize. This makes it a more effective form of iron supplementation compared to other iron compounds, particularly in oral solutions and beverages where rapid absorption is needed.

2. Gentle on the Digestive System

Ferrous Lactate is known to be gentle on the stomach, causing fewer digestive side effects such as nausea or constipation, which are common with other forms of iron supplements. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals with sensitive digestion or those who require regular iron supplementation through beverages.

3. Solubility in Beverages

One of the key advantages of Ferrous Lactate is its excellent solubility in water and other liquids, making it perfect for use in oral solutions, fortified juices, sports drinks, and nutrition supplements. Its ability to dissolve easily ensures that the iron is evenly distributed in the beverage, providing a smooth, consistent product.

4. Neutral Taste

Unlike some iron supplements that may impart a metallic taste to foods and beverages, Ferrous Lactate has a relatively neutral flavor. This allows manufacturers to fortify drinks without affecting the taste profile, making it an ideal choice for flavored beverages and oral supplements.

5. Effective in Small Doses

Because of its high bioavailability, Ferrous Lactate is effective even in small doses. This ensures that consumers receive the necessary iron supplementation without needing large amounts of the ingredient, which could affect the overall formulation or flavor of the product.
