Ferrous gluconate

Description:
Ferrous gluconate, with the CAS number 299-29-6, is an iron salt derived from gluconic acid. It typically appears as a reddish-brown powder or granules and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This compound is primarily used as a dietary supplement to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia, as it provides a bioavailable source of iron. Ferrous gluconate is known for its relatively mild gastrointestinal side effects compared to other iron supplements, which enhances patient compliance. In addition to its nutritional applications, it may also be utilized in food fortification and as a colorant in certain products. The compound is stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its efficacy. As with any iron supplement, it is important to use ferrous gluconate under medical supervision to avoid potential toxicity or adverse effects associated with excessive iron intake.
