Bulk Ferrous Lactate Supplier (CAS 5905-52-2) – ≥96.0% Assay, EU Supply
Ferrous lactate NST-12-3 is a white powder intended for iron-containing food supplements and nutraceutical formulations. It is particularly suited to dry dosage forms, while beverages and complex nutrition matrices require application-specific compatibility and stability testing.
Who This Product Is For
| Manufacturer type | Relevant use |
|---|---|
| Food-supplement manufacturers | Single-mineral and multivitamin/mineral tablets, capsules and powders |
| Nutraceutical and fortified-food producers | Dry premixes, sachets, fortified foods and selected nutrition products |
| R&D and formulation teams | Iron-source evaluation, matrix compatibility and stability development |
| Ingredient distributors | Supply to food-supplement and nutraceutical manufacturing customers |
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product | Ferrous lactate, catalog NST-12-3 |
| CAS number | 5905-52-2 |
| Molecular formula | C6H10FeO6 |
| Molecular weight | 233.98 |
| Appearance | White powder |
| Assay | ≥96.0% on dried basis; titration |
| pH | 5.0–6.0 |

| Shelf life | 24 months when properly stored |
| Storage | Store in a cool and dry place, keep away from strong light and heat |
Technical & Formulation Considerations
| Consideration | Development implication |
|---|---|
| Dosage-form selection | Tablets, capsules and dry powder systems are the most straightforward starting formats because they avoid continuous aqueous contact during storage. |
| Formulation calculations | Calculate ingredient input from qualified as-supplied composition rather than theoretical molecular weight alone, as assay is specified on a dried basis and water may vary within specification. |
| Liquid incorporation | Aqueous incorporation is technically plausible. Hydroalcoholic systems require direct dissolution and precipitation testing. |
| Oxidation and sensory performance | In liquids, dairy products and lipid-containing systems, evaluate ferrous-state retention, total iron recovery, flavor, odor and oxidation throughout shelf life. |
| Color interaction | Screen botanical, tea-derived and other polyphenol-rich formulations for darkening, haze, sediment or precipitation. |
| Processing | Establish performance under the actual mixing, drying, fermentation or heat process; no universal processing-temperature limit is specified. |
Applications
| Application | Commercial fit |
|---|---|
| Iron tablets and capsules | Suitable for development as a source of iron in single-mineral and combination products |
| Multivitamin/mineral products | Applicable to dry blends subject to segregation, flow and compatibility testing |
| Powder sachets and premixes | Suitable for dry-dose or reconstitution formats |
| Fortified dry foods | Applicable where color, taste and process retention are confirmed in the finished matrix |
| Beverages and oral nutrition products | Conditional application requiring stability, sensory and package-level validation |
Quality & Documentation
The supplier quality specification defines identity, appearance, dried-basis assay, water, ferric content, pH and controlled inorganic impurities. Assay and ferric content are tested by titration, water by Karl Fischer, and specified metals by ICP-MS.
Finished-product development should include verification of ingredient potency, physical handling characteristics and compatibility with the intended formulation, process and packaging system.
