Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex

Iron (III) Hydroxide polymaltose complex.

This is once again a strong member of our haematinic product range. It supplies iron in ferric form  complexed   with polymaltose. This is a non ionic molecule and charge of iron is completely shielded. This ensures maximum absorption in the body.

The speciality of this product is iron is completely hydrolysed  and thus it remains completely soluble in stomach pH or one can state that the product  gives clear blood red solution without turbidity in .1 N HCl solution. The complex is made in such a way that the polymaltose content   remains at its highest level. This ensures excellent  stability and high absorption of iron .  

our product is reddish brown to dark brown amorphous powder and can be comfortably used for liquid,tablets and capsules formulations.
