Useful:

• Uses: Ferrous Gluconate is a nutrient and dietary supplement that is a source of iron and a coloring adjunct. it is a yellowish gray to pale greenish yellow powder or granules with a burnt sugar odor. it has a solubility of 1 g in approximately 10 ml of water with slight heating. it is used by the pharmaceutical industry as an iron supplement in vitamin pills. it is used by olive growers to darken the olives to a uniform black color. it can function as an iron fortifier in corn and soy products, breakfast cereals, beverages, and dietary foods.
• Biological Functions: Ferrous Gluconate is a form of mineral iron for oral administration, Ferrous Gluconate is absorbed in the stomach and small intestine and combines with apoferritin to form ferritin, which is stored in the liver, spleen, red bone marrow, and intestinal mucosa. Important in transport of oxygen by hemoglobin to the tissues, iron is also found in myoglobin, transferrin, and ferritin, and is as a component of many enzymes such as catalase, peroxidase, and cytochromes. (NCI04)
• Drug interactions: Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs Antibacterials: reduced absorption of 4-quinolones and tetracyclines. Dimercaprol: avoid concomitant use. Mycophenolate: may significantly reduce absorption of mycophenolate.
