Pharmaceutical applications

This Iron Salt is particularly effective in treating iron deficiency and anemia, making it a preferred choice for both preventive and therapeutic applications.

Effective Iron Supplementation: Ferrous Gluconate is commonly used in oral iron supplements to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia.

Gentle on the Stomach: Known for causing fewer gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation, nausea, and stomach discomfort, Ferrous Gluconate is a suitable option for long-term supplementation. This enhances patient compliance and overall treatment success.

Supports Hemoglobin and Red Blood Cell Production: Iron is a critical component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Adequate iron levels are essential for maintaining energy levels, cognitive function, and overall health.

Treatment of Specific Health Conditions: Ferrous Gluconate is often prescribed for individuals with conditions leading to chronic blood loss, such as gastrointestinal bleeding or heavy menstrual periods.

Prenatal and Postnatal Care: Iron requirements increase during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Ferrous Gluconate is frequently recommended for pregnant and nursing women to support maternal health and proper fetal development, ensuring the well-being of both mother and child.

Industrial applications of Ferrous Gluconate

Odor-inhibiting chelating scavenger for hydrogen sulfide

For industrial applications especially our Lohtragon^® C73 is of interest acting as odor-inhibiting chelating agent for hydrogen sulfide. The environmental friendly production of biogas releases a substantial amount of hydrogen sulfide. This has not only an unpleasant odor, but has also toxic properties and is extremely corrosive in contact with water. The combustion product sulfur dioxide is equally aggressive and harmful to health. Therefore, hydrogen sulfide quickly has to be removed from all sources, including biogas, crude oil and natural gas. It can be added to slurries or suspension, too, whenever hydrogen sulfide occurs.

Crop care – Improved plant growth and yield

Lohtragon^® C73 can be used as a micronutrient in fertilizers to provide essential iron for plant growth. By supplying iron, the Ferrous Gluconate based product helps in the synthesis of chlorophyll, which is vital for photosynthesis. This leads to healthier, greener plants with improved growth and yield. Plants with adequate iron levels are more resistant to diseases and environmental stress, leading to better overall plant health and productivity. Lohtragon^® C73 can be applied directly to the soil, where it is absorbed by plant roots. Its chelated form ensures that the iron remains available in the soil solution for plant uptake. It can also be used in foliar sprays, where the solution is applied directly to the leaves. It is generally stable in neutral and light alkaline environments and simplifies the formulation of micronutrient mixtures.

Reducing Agent in Electroplating Processes

By serving as an efficient reducing agent, Ferrous Gluconate enhances the quality and performance of electroplated products. The unique properties of our Lohtragon^® C73, including its chelation stability, environmental safety, and effective reduction capability, make it a valuable component in electroplating processes. It can be used in iron electroplating baths. The gluconate ions help stabilize the iron ions in solution and prevent premature precipitation, ensuring a steady supply of iron for deposition. Lohtragon^® C73 can also be part of complex electroplating baths where multiple metals are deposited. The presence of Ferrous Gluconate can help control the plating process and improve the quality of the metal layer.
