    Mineral Gluconates, Mineral Citrates and Ferrous Bisglycinate

    Chelated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) play a central role in modern drug development. The complexation of Minerals with organic ligands significantly improves key parameters such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Our product lines – Mineral Gluconates, Mineral Citrates as well as our Ferrous Bisglycinate – offer powerful solutions for pharmaceutical applications with high demands on efficacy and tolerability.

    Mineral Gluconates

    Mineral Gluconates are organic Salts of gluconic acid. They exhibit high water solubility, excellent absorption characteristics, and good physiological tolerance. Thanks to their mild taste and pH properties, they are particularly well-suited for oral dosage forms such as tablets, powders, and liquids. In parenteral applications, they offer strong chemical stability and compatibility.
    We offer a comprehensive range of Mineral Gluconates including Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Copper, Lithium, Magnesium, Manganese, and Zinc.

     

    Mineral Citrates

    Mineral Citrates serve not only as mineral carriers but also act as buffering agents. Their chelated structure enhances bioavailability compared to inorganic Salts, particularly in patients with gastrointestinal sensitivity. Citrates are highly soluble across a broad pH range and support gentle intestinal absorption due to their organic matrix. They are commonly used in effervescent tablets, liquid concentrates, or controlled-release formulations.
    Our portfolio includes Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, and Zinc Citrate.

     

    Ferrous Bisglycinate

    Ferrous Bisglycinate is a high-quality amino acid chelate in which two glycine molecules form a stable complex with a ferrous ion (Fe²⁺). This chelated structure prevents undesirable interactions with other substances in the gastrointestinal tract, enhances absorption in the small intestine, and significantly reduces gastrointestinal side effects.
    Compared to conventional Iron Salts such as Ferrous Sulfate, Ferrous Bisglycinate provides improved bioavailability and better tolerability. It is particularly suitable for formulations aimed at high patient compliance, including both oral and specialized dosage forms.


    Key Benefits of Chelated APIs

    • Increased chemical stability through chelate complex formation
    • Improved bioavailability compared to inorganic Salts
    • Reduced side effects, especially in iron supplementation
    • Broad application spectrum for solid and liquid formulations
    • High patient tolerability and formulation reliability

    The chelated APIs in our product lines meet the highest standards of quality, efficacy, and pharmaceutical applicability.
