Product Overview
Ferrous Bisglycinate (CAS 20150-34-9) is a stable organic iron chelate formed by ferrous ions and two glycine molecules. It appears as light green to greyish green crystalline powder. Featuring high bioavailability, low gastrointestinal irritation and excellent absorption performance, this product is widely used as iron fortifier in pharmaceutical, food, health care product and feed industries. Produced via advanced chelation, crystallization and drying technology, it has high purity, uniform texture and stable quality. For legitimate industrial production, formulation and scientific research only.
Product Features
- High Purity: ≥98.0%, low impurities, compliant with food and pharmaceutical grade standards.
- High Absorption Rate: Chelated structure improves iron utilization, much better than traditional inorganic iron salts.
- Mild Property: Causes minimal irritation to digestive tract, suitable for long-term supplementation.
- Good Stability: Not easy to oxidize and discolor under normal storage conditions.
- Wide Applicability: Compatible with most raw materials in food, medicine and health product formulas.
- Strict Quality Control: Each batch is fully tested; standard COA and MSDS are available upon request.
Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Light green to greyish green crystalline powder
- Odor: Almost odorless
- Molecular Formula: C4H8FeN2O4
- Molecular Weight: 203.96
- Melting Point: >162 °C (decomposition)
- Density: 1.898 g/cm3 (20 °C)

- Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; soluble in acidic aqueous solution; insoluble in ethanol and other organic solvents
- Hygroscopicity: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity
Chemical Properties
- Chemical Stability: Stable at room temperature. Long-term exposure to air and strong light will gradually cause oxidation and color change.
- Chelate Structure: The ferrous ion is stably combined with glycine ligand, and the structure will be destroyed under strong acid or strong alkali conditions.
- Oxidation Property: Easy to be oxidized to ferric compound when contacting strong oxidants.
- Incompatibility: Keep away from strong oxidants, strong acids and heavy metal salts.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Raw material for oral iron supplements, used for prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia.
- Food Industry: Mineral nutrition fortifier, added into cereals, beverages, dairy products and infant foods.
- Health Care Products: Core ingredient of iron supplement products for pregnant women, children, athletes and sub-health groups.
- Feed Industry: Iron additive for livestock and poultry feed, preventing animal anemia and promoting growth.
- Laboratory Research: Used for nutrition and biochemistry related experiments.
Usage Restriction: For industrial synthesis and scientific research use only. Strictly forbidden for illegal processing and improper application.
Storage & Transportation Instructions
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, dry, dark and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation. Store separately from strong oxidants and acidic substances, and keep far from heat sources and direct sunlight. Recommended storage temperature: 10 – 25 °C. Reseal containers immediately after opening.
