Ferrous Ascorbate.

This is a synthetic molecule made from iron and ascorbic acid. And is a very  powerful  haematinic  molecule against iron deficiency anaemia. We offer ferrous ascorbate with probably highest ascorbic acid content  along with precisely calibrated stoichiometric iron proportion. This helps  absorption of ferrous ascorbate  to go to is highest  level  in stomach without producing any symptoms of iron toxicity in most of the subjects. Ascorbic acid reduces ferric ion in to ferrous ion. The solubility profile is also good .It is soluble in water at neutral pH. Presence of Ascorbic acid enhances the process of iron absorption in the stomach..

This product is a dark magenta coloured spray dried  free flowing powder, which is used extensively for liquid ,tablet and capsule formulations. This product is produced in a sophisticated plant approved by FDA and under supervision of qualified and experienced personnel.
