Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals 

  • Iron supplement for anemia treatment: Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex is primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia, particularly in children, pregnant women, and patients with chronic diseases. It supplies bioavailable iron in a form that's gentle on the gastrointestinal system.
  • Improved gastrointestinal tolerance: Unlike traditional iron salts, IPC causes fewer side effects such as constipation, nausea, or stomach irritation, making it suitable for long-term therapy.
  • Controlled iron absorption: The polymaltose matrix ensures slow, regulated release of iron, minimizing oxidative stress and maximizing absorption according to the body’s needs.
  • Use in pediatric and geriatric formulations: Due to its safety profile and ease of formulation, IPC is often included in syrups, chewable tablets, and drops for children and elderly patients.

2. Food & Healthcare Ingredients 

  • Dietary supplement ingredient: IPC is used in over-the-counter health supplements aimed at boosting iron levels, improving energy, and supporting overall wellness, particularly in populations with subclinical iron deficiency.

3. Animal Healthcare 

  • Iron supplementation for animals: In veterinary medicine, IPC may be used as an oral iron supplement for pets and livestock suffering from anemia or recovering from illness, although less commonly than other iron forms.
