:

ferrous lactate

Description:
Ferrous lactate, with the CAS number 5905-52-2, is a chemical compound that consists of iron in its +2 oxidation state (ferrous) and lactic acid. It typically appears as a white to light yellow crystalline powder and is soluble in water, which makes it useful in various applications. Ferrous lactate is often used as a dietary supplement to provide iron, particularly in cases of iron deficiency anemia, as it is more easily absorbed by the body compared to other iron salts. In addition to its nutritional applications, it can also serve as a food additive, providing both color and nutritional value. The compound is generally regarded as safe when used appropriately, but excessive intake can lead to iron overload and associated health issues. Its stability and solubility make it suitable for incorporation into various formulations, including pharmaceuticals and fortified foods. As with any iron supplement, it is important to monitor dosage and consult healthcare professionals when necessary.
