CAS 34369-82-9

Ferric glycinate

Description:

Ferric glycinate, with the CAS number 34369-82-9, is a coordination compound formed from iron in its +3 oxidation state (ferric) and glycine, an amino acid. This compound typically appears as a light brown to yellowish powder and is soluble in water, which enhances its bioavailability. Ferric glycinate is often used as a dietary supplement to provide iron, particularly in cases of iron deficiency anemia, due to its relatively gentle effect on the gastrointestinal tract compared to other iron supplements. The chelation of iron with glycine helps to stabilize the iron and improve its absorption in the body. Additionally, ferric glycinate may exhibit antioxidant properties, contributing to its potential health benefits. It is important to note that while it is generally considered safe for consumption, dosage and individual tolerance can vary, and it should be used under medical supervision, especially in individuals with specific health conditions or those taking other medications.
