  • Applications

    Iron(II) gluconate hydrate (CAS number: 22830-45-1) is used as an iron source in dietary supplements and pharmaceutical formulations, providing iron in a form that is readily absorbed. It also serves as an iron source in animal nutrition, aiding healthful growth when included in feed. In industrial chemical and cleaning formulations, the gluconate salt can act as a chelating/sequestering agent to bind trace metals and stabilize formulations used in cleaners, cosmetics, and water-treatment products. Additionally, it may function as an intermediate or starting material in the synthesis of iron-containing compounds for various industrial applications, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
