FERRIC CITRATE
Description
Overview
Ferric Citrate is a stable iron salt of citric acid, widely used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and nutraceutical raw material. Manufactured under stringent GMP-certified conditions, WBCIL’s Ferric Citrate offers superior purity, controlled particle size, and excellent solubility—making it ideal for both clinical and commercial applications.
Key Features
High Bioavailability Iron Source
Ferric Citrate provides elemental iron in a form that is well-tolerated and readily absorbed, supporting effective treatment of iron deficiency, especially in CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and dialysis patients.
Dual-Action in CKD Management
It acts as both an oral iron supplement and a phosphate binder, helping reduce serum phosphate levels while replenishing iron stores—making it highly suitable for renal health formulations.
Excellent Solubility & Stability
Manufactured to yield consistent flow and dissolution profiles, our Ferric Citrate is available in a fine reddish-brown powder with long shelf life and low hygroscopicity.
Free from Harsh Side Effects
Compared to traditional iron salts, Ferric Citrate causes fewer GI side effects and is associated with improved patient compliance.
