Uses and Applications
- Food industry: Used as an iron fortifier, added to infant formula, dairy products, cereal products, meat products, beverages, etc., to supplement the body's required iron and prevent iron-deficiency anemia. Compliance with national standard limits is required.
- Pharmaceutical industry: Used as a core raw material in the preparation of ferrous gluconate tablets, oral solutions, and other iron supplements for the treatment and prevention of iron-deficiency anemia, especially suitable for infants, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and people with weak constitutions.
- Feed industry: Used as an iron supplement in livestock and aquaculture feeds to balance iron nutrition in feed, promote improved hematopoietic function, growth and development, and enhanced immunity in animals. Suitable for pigs, chickens, fish, shrimp, and other aquaculture scenarios.
- Other fields: Used in cosmetics as a nutritional additive to improve dull skin caused by iron deficiency; also used as an auxiliary raw material in the bio-fermentation industry to ensure the iron elements required for microbial growth.
