China Food Grade Ferrous Fumarate CAS 141-01-5 Bulk Wholesale Manufacturers, Exporters
Product Description
Product Description
Ferrous Fumarate is one of the medications used to treat anemia. It improves stress resistance and disease resistance, is compatible with various nutrients and antibiotics, and has a synergistic effect. It can effectively avoid the destruction of vitamins and other active substances caused by adding inorganic iron.
Product Features
Contains around 32.87% elemental iron, one of the highest among common ferrous iron salts.
The ferrous form is easily absorbed by the human body for efficient iron supplementation.
Low moisture absorption makes it ideal for solid formulations: tablets, capsules, powder blends, and premixes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1 What is the elemental iron content of Ferrous Fumarate?
The elemental iron content is approximately 32.87%, making it one of the highest among common ferrous iron salts. The actual batch-specific value is confirmed on the COA.
Q2 Ferrous Fumarate vs Ferrous Sulfate, what is the difference?
Ferrous fumarate contains higher elemental iron, provides better stability, lower hygroscopicity, and causes less GI irritation. Ferrous sulfate is cheaper, but oxidizes more easily and causes stronger stomach irritation.
Q3 Is Ferrous Fumarate water soluble?
It is slightly soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol. Due to these characteristics, it is best suited for solid dosage forms like tablets, capsules, and powder premixes.
Q4 What packaging options do you offer?
Standard packaging is 1kg bags (double plastic bag + aluminum foil bag inside a box) and 10kg or 25kg drums/cartons (2-layer plastic bag inside). Custom packaging specifications can also be accommodated.
Q5 What quality standards does the product conform to?
The product strictly conforms with the quality specifications of the USP 43 standard, ensuring high purity with an assay range of 97.0% - 101.0% on a dried basis and low heavy metal limits.
Q6 How does Ferrous Fumarate perform when combined with other nutrients?
It is compatible with various nutrients and antibiotics, demonstrating synergistic effects. It effectively prevents the degradation of vitamins and other active ingredients typically caused by inorganic iron sources.
