Givobio Fe601 Ferrous Gluconate

Iron is essential to the normal activity of all cells and the basic metabolic processes such as transport of oxygen (hemoglobin), synthesis of nucleic acids, mitochondrial cell respiration (ADP and ATP), redox reactions of liver detoxification (type I catalyzed by cytochrome) and many other P450 enzymes, but also potentially toxic initiator peroxidation reactions and powerful substrate pathogenic bacteria.

Formulation

Iron fortification may cause:

  • Metallic attertaste
  • Unacceptable tlavor
  • Undesirable color changes
  • Degradation of vitam ins

Color changes of ferrous salts is due to the oxidation of ferrous to ferric iron. Vitamin C is degraded in presence of oxygen and ferrous iron. It is important to exclude oxygen during processing and storage of beverages (air resistant packages, degassing, elimination of head space air, use of nitrogen). Gray color development can be prevented by buffering at a pH between 3.0 and 6.5 with citric or malic acid.

The iron content of GIVOBIO Fe601 (ferrous gluconate) may be lower compared to other iron salts, but the solubilized iron is much higher. Also, taste plays an important role in liquid formulation: GIOVOBIO Fe601 is the best choice as it tastes less metallic than other ferrous salts, especially when compared to ferrous sulfate. One study on the effectiveness and tolerability of oral liquid ferrous gluconate in iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy and in the immediate post-partum period, has been shown that ferrous gluconate in liquid form is more effective and better tolerated than any over other liquid or solid form containing elemental iron. [1] Isaltis’ salt is different from other salts in the market because it does not precipitate over time as the content of ferric ion in Isaltis’ product is low. Isaltis provides technical support, different grades for pharmaceutics and food, and also CEP (European DMF) for product registration
