Chemical Structure:
Ferrous Lactate Application:
Ferrous Lactate is an organic iron salt formed by the reaction of lactic acid and ferrous compounds. It appears as a light green powder or crystalline solid, with excellent water solubility and bioavailability. In industrial and nutritional applications, Ferrous Lactate is valued for its stable iron content, mild taste, and compatibility with diverse formulation systems.
As a gentle and efficient source of iron, it is widely used in food fortification, pharmaceuticals, and feed manufacturing. Compared to inorganic iron salts, Ferrous Lactate demonstrates superior absorption efficiency and lower reactivity with other ingredients, minimizing undesirable color or flavor changes in end products. In addition, its low toxicity and strong stability make it a preferred choice for manufacturers developing iron-enriched functional products and dietary formulations. Applications:
Food Fortification and Nutritional Products
Ferrous Lactate serves as a key iron source in fortified foods such as beverages, dairy products, and cereals. Its high solubility ensures even dispersion in liquid and solid matrices, allowing food producers to enhance nutritional value while maintaining product stability and taste.Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Formulations
In pharmaceutical industries, Ferrous Lactate is commonly incorporated into iron supplement formulations, effervescent tablets, and tonics. Its organic nature reduces gastrointestinal irritation compared to inorganic iron salts, supporting product differentiation for manufacturers targeting gentle, effective iron supplementation.Animal Feed and Veterinary Use
Ferrous Lactate is also used in the feed industry as a bioavailable iron additive that supports the nutritional needs of livestock and pets. It promotes healthy metabolism and growth performance while being easy to mix with other micronutrients and vitamins in feed premixes.
