:Ferrous gluconate dihydrate
Description:
Ferrous gluconate dihydrate is an iron supplement commonly used to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia. It is a coordination compound formed from iron and gluconic acid, with the chemical formula C12H22FeO14·2H2O. This compound appears as a light brown or yellowish powder and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various formulations, including tablets and liquid preparations. Ferrous gluconate dihydrate provides a source of ferrous ions (Fe²⁺), which are essential for hemoglobin synthesis and overall metabolic processes. It is generally well-tolerated, though some individuals may experience gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea or constipation. The dihydrate form indicates the presence of two water molecules per formula unit, which can influence its stability and solubility. In addition to its medicinal uses, ferrous gluconate is also utilized in food fortification and as a colorant in certain applications. As with any iron supplement, it is important to use it under medical supervision to avoid potential toxicity or iron overload.
