Supplements Ferrous Lactate Powder Food grade Iron Lactate CAS 5905-52-2
Product Overview:
Ferrous lactate becomes yellowish brown containing ortho iron salts by moisture or oxidation of its aqueous solution. Oxidation is promoted by light. Iron ions react with other food additives to colour easily. Dissolved in water, become greenish transparent liquid, acidic. Almost insoluble in ethanol.

2、Nutritional supplements (iron fortification). The daily requirement is 16mg for adults and 6mg for infants (Japanese standard). The amount of iron added when used to fortify milk powder is about 6mg/100g.Additif Alimentaire/Nutritionnel: Lactate Ferreux en Poudre de Qualité Alimentaire (CAS 5905-52-2)
When used in wheat flour, biscuits, and bread, the amount used is 2 to 3mg/100g. The absorption rate (for iron) is very strong in rats fortified with soya milk. Colour regulator.Lebensmittelzusatzstoff/-ergänzung: Eisen(II)-lactat Pulver in Lebensmittelqualität (CAS 5905-52-2)
3, is a very good food iron fortification, the absorption effect is better than inorganic iron. The use of 600-1200mg/kg (in iron, the same below); can also be used for dairy products and baby food, the use of 60-100mg/kg; can also be used for cereals and their products, the use of 24-48mg/kg; can also be used for beverages, the use of 10-20mg/kg.

As an iron fortifier, the United States provides the amount of flour for 3mg/100g, the amount of bread for 2mg/100g, milk powder for 6mg/100g. Iron is an indispensable element for the body, is composed of haemoglobin, myoglobin and a variety of tissues and enzymes are important components.
Lack of iron can cause iron deficiency anaemia or other iron deficiency diseases. Ferrous Lactate has a high absorption rate and can be used as an iron supplement.
Uses and functions of buy Ferrous Lactate.

Pharmacological Effect of bulk Ferrous Lactate Powder.
Ferrous Lactate is mainly used for the treatment of ischaemic anaemia. Iron is an indispensable element of the organism, and is an important constituent of haemoglobin myoglobin and a variety of tissue enzymes.
Lack of iron can cause iron deficiency anaemia or various other iron deficiency diseases. Ferrous Lactate has a high absorption rate and can be used as an iron supplement.
The main side effects of ferrous lactate are evident in gastrointestinal reactions, which can include nausea, vomiting, and stomach discomfort, and may cause constipation, black stools, and other clinical manifestations.
When taking oral iron for the treatment of anaemia should pay attention to diet, eat more nutritious and easy to digest food, eat more dried fruits, patients should not smoke and drink alcohol, should be a reasonable diet, pay attention to rest.
Ferrous Lactate vs Ferrous Sulfate.
Characteristics | Ferrous lactate | Ferrous sulfate |
---|---|---|
Chemical form | Ferrous ion bound to lactic acid | Ferrous ion bound to sulfate ion |
Iron content | Approx. 19% (lower) | Approx. 20% (higher) |
Bioavailability | Higher. Lactic acid may act as a chelating agent, enhancing iron absorption in the intestines. | High, serving as a benchmark for assessing bioavailability of other iron supplements. |
Gastrointestinal Side Effects | Significantly milder and less frequent. Minimal gastric mucosal irritation; less likely to cause constipation, nausea, or abdominal pain. | Very common and severe. Highly prone to causing constipation, nausea, black stools, and abdominal discomfort. |
Taste/Odor | No noticeable metallic taste | Pronounced metallic taste, intolerable for some individuals |
Cost | Higher | Extremely low-cost, one of the most cost-effective options |
Primary Applications | 1. Individuals intolerant to ferrous sulfate 2. Sensitive populations such as infants, young children, and pregnant women 3. Food fortification (e.g., rice cereal, infant formula) |
1. First-line treatment for iron deficiency anemia 2. Individuals insensitive to side effects and prioritizing cost-effectiveness |
Product Method of Bulk Ferrous Lactate Powder.
Obtained by reacting a solution of calcium or sodium lactate with ferrous sulphate or ferrous chloride.
It is obtained by adding sucrose and refined iron powder to the lactic acid solution and crystallising after direct reaction.
In order to prevent oxidation, it should be concentrated, crystallised, dried and kept airtight after reaction.
FAQ
Q: Which is better, ferrous lactate or ferrous sulfate?
A: Both have comparable bioavailability. However, ferrous lactate offers significant advantages in gastrointestinal tolerance and minimal impact on food flavor. Ferrous sulfate is lower in cost but carries higher risks of side effects; ferrous lactate provides a superior consumer experience and is suitable for premium products with high taste requirements.
Q: How do I calculate the addition amount in a formulation?
A: The calculation formula is:
Required Ferrous Lactate Weight (kg) = [Target Iron Content (mg/kg) × Total Product Weight (kg)] / [Iron Content in Ferrous Lactate (mg/g) × 1000]
For example, ferrous lactate has an iron content of approximately 19%, or 190 mg/g. Be sure to account for processing and shelf-life losses and include overfilling.
Q: Can ferrous lactate be added alongside vitamins?
A: Yes, but note the following:
With Vitamin C: An excellent combination, as vitamin C further enhances iron absorption.
With calcium: High calcium doses may competitively inhibit iron absorption. Consider their ratio and dosage during formulation.
Stepwise mixing or premixes are recommended to ensure uniform distribution.
Q: Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and sample policy?
A: Our standard MOQ is 20 kg. We offer 1 kg paid samples for clients with genuine needs, for application testing and efficacy evaluation.
