<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water-soluble iron chelate composition comprising ferric pyrophosphate citrate chelate composition. <P>SOLUTION: A highly water-soluble ferric pyrophosphate citrate chelate useful for treating iron deficiency contains about 7% to about 11% iron, about 14% to about 30% citrate, about 10% to about 20% pyrophosphate and 2% or less phosphate by weight. These chelate composition may contain about 1.5% or less phosphate or about 1% or less phosphate by weight. These chelate composition contains about 0.1% or less phosphate by weight. The sulphate ion content is usually about 20 wt.% to about 35 wt.%. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
