Ferric citrate trihydrate

Description:

Ferric citrate trihydrate, with the CAS number 17217-76-4, is a chemical compound that consists of iron in its ferric (Fe³⁺) state complexed with citrate ions and associated with three molecules of water. It appears as a reddish-brown solid and is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various applications. This compound is primarily utilized in the medical field, particularly as an iron supplement for treating iron deficiency anemia, as it provides a bioavailable form of iron. Additionally, ferric citrate trihydrate has applications in food and pharmaceutical industries as a colorant and stabilizer. Its chemical structure allows it to act as a chelating agent, binding to other substances and enhancing their solubility. The trihydrate form indicates the presence of three water molecules, which can influence its stability and solubility characteristics. Safety data suggests that while it is generally considered safe for use in recommended doses, excessive intake may lead to gastrointestinal disturbances or iron overload.
