Chélates de Fer

Iron chelates are available as a fine powder, typically light brown or beige in color, odorless, and highly water-soluble. Due to their unique chemical structure, iron chelates provide enhanced bioavailability compared to conventional forms of iron, making them ideal for various applications in agriculture, industry, and nutritional formulations.

Applications:

1. Agriculture:

Iron chelates are widely used as fertilizers to prevent and correct iron deficiencies in plants. They are particularly effective in alkaline or calcareous soils where non-chelated iron is less available to crops.

• Used to improve the health of crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
• Applied through foliar sprays or irrigation systems for direct plant absorption.

2. Food and Nutrition Industry:

• Incorporated into dietary supplements to treat iron deficiencies in humans and animals.
• Used in fortified foods (e.g., flours, cereals, beverages) due to their neutral taste and high absorption rates.

3. Cosmetics and Personal Care:

• Added to formulations to stabilize products and prevent degradation caused by metal ions.
• Promotes cellular regeneration in specific dermatological applications.
