Ferrous gluconate

Ferrous gluconate is an iron supplement widely used to treat iron‑deficiency anemia and to fortify nutraceutical products. Henan Sinotech Import & Export Corp., located on Dongming Road in Zhengzhou, China, markets this pharmaceutical‑grade ingredient for inclusion in tablets, capsules and liquid formulations. The supplier emphasizes the high bioavailability of its iron source, which facilitates efficient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.

Industry‑standard ferrous gluconate typically presents as a light brown powder with the formula C12H22FeO14 and a molecular weight of 449.91 g mol‑1. Purity is generally ≥ 98 % and moisture is limited to ≤ 0.5 % to preserve stability. Water solubility is about 10 g L‑1 at 20 °C, yielding a 1 % solution with a pH near 2.5, and the iron assay is commonly around 20 % w/w. Common packaging includes 25 kg drums, 1 kg bags or 500 g HDPE bottles, catering to both large‑scale manufacturers and smaller formulators.

The product is purchased by pharmaceutical contract manufacturers, dietary supplement producers and health‑care product developers seeking an effective iron source. Trade discussions usually involve FOB or CIF terms from the nearest Chinese port, with payment via L/C or T/T after order confirmation. Henan Sinotech does not disclose a fixed MOQ in the public listing, so buyers should contact the company to obtain current order size requirements, lead‑time estimates and any necessary regulatory documentation.

Henan Sinotech Import & Export Corp. operates from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, and is listed with a harbor trust tier, indicating a basic level of platform verification. The supplier’s response statistics show a 0 % response rate and no recorded average response time, meaning that communication may need to be initiated proactively by the buyer.

The company’s current catalogue highlights ferrous gluconate as a pharmaceutical‑grade iron supplement and mentions compliance with ISO and SGS quality programmes, although specific certificates are not attached to the public profile. Prospective purchasers should request the latest audit reports and any relevant GMP documentation to confirm the production standards applied to the batch they intend to procure.
