Ferrous Lactate Powder Usage and Synthesis.

1. Ferrous lactate is widely used in food, beverages, dairy products, salt, nutrient solution, medicines, etc.

2. Nutritional supplement (iron fortifier). The daily requirement for adults is 16 mg, and for infants is 6 mg (Japanese standard). When used to fortify iron in milk powder, the added amount is about 6 mg/100 g. When used in wheat flour, biscuits, and bread, the usage is 2-3 mg/100 g. The absorption rate (for iron) of fortified soy milk of this product by rats is very strong. Color regulator.

3. It is a very good food iron fortifier, and the absorption effect is better than inorganic iron. The usage is 600-1200 mg/kg (in terms of iron, the same below); it can also be used in dairy products and infant food, the usage is 60-100 mg/kg; it can also be used in cereals and their products, the usage is 24-48 mg/kg; it can also be used in beverages, the usage is 10-20 mg/kg.

4. Ferrous lactate is a food and a drug for the treatment of anemia. The daily requirement for adults is 16 mg, and for infants it is 6 mg. As an iron fortifier, the United States stipulates that the amount used in flour is 3 mg/100 g, the amount used in bread is 2 mg/100 g, and the amount used in milk powder is 6 mg/100 g. Iron is an indispensable element for the human body and is an important component of hemoglobin, myoglobin and various tissue enzymes.

Iron deficiency in the body can cause iron deficiency anemia or other various iron deficiency diseases. Ferrous lactate has a high absorption rate and can be used as an iron supplement.

Core Application Areas

• Ferrous lactate is primarily used in the food and pharmaceutical sectors in the European and American markets, providing efficient iron supplementation solutions for various industries.
• In the food sector, it is mainly used as an iron fortifier in cereal products, dairy products, infant formula, and functional beverages. The EU has approved its use as a color fixative in pickled olives.
• Compared to inorganic iron sources such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous lactate has better bioavailability and absorption rate, and has less impact on product flavor.
• In the pharmaceutical sector, ferrous lactate is used as a component in drugs for treating iron-deficiency anemia.

Technological Advantages and Product Differentiation

• In a highly competitive market, ferrous lactate exhibits differentiated characteristics from other iron sources across multiple dimensions due to its unique technological advantages.
• High bioavailability is one of its main advantages. As an organic iron source, it is more easily absorbed and utilized by the human body than inorganic iron such as ferrous sulfate.
• Good stability: Although sensitive to oxygen and light, it maintains good stability under appropriate packaging and storage conditions.
• Wide applicability: Ferrous lactate can be used in a wide range of products, from general food to foods for special medical purposes, demonstrating broad applicability.
• High regulatory approval: Approved by both the US FDA and the EU EFSA, it facilitates its distribution in the global market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ferrous lactate and ferrous sulfate?

The main difference lies in bioavailability. As an organic iron source, ferrous lactate is generally more easily absorbed by the body than inorganic iron such as ferrous sulfate, and it has less impact on product flavor and is less likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

How safe is ferrous lactate?

It is safe when used according to regulations. It has received GRAS certification from the US FDA and approval from the EU EFSA. Its LD50 value (oral in mice) is 4.875 g/kg, classifying it as a low-toxicity substance. When using it, the recommended intake should be followed; the FAO/WHO recommends that total iron intake be controlled within the range of 0.8 mg/kg body weight.

Is ferrous lactate suitable for infant formula?

Yes, in the United States, ferrous lactate has been approved for use in infant formula. Compared to many other iron fortifiers, it is more easily absorbed by the infant's digestive system and has less impact on the taste of formula.

What are the typical applications of ferrous lactate?

It is mainly used in two major areas: firstly, as an iron fortifier in foods such as cereal products, dairy products, and functional beverages; and secondly, as a pharmaceutical ingredient for treating iron-deficiency anemia. In the European Union, it has also been specifically approved for use as a color fixative in pickling olives.
