Iron fortification uses a range of salt forms beyond bisglycinate, including ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, and ferric pyrophosphate, each chosen for a balance of cost, bioavailability, and ease of use. Several of these forms carry a strong reddish-brown colour that requires masking before use in food and supplement matrices, and some interact with co-formulated actives such as iodine, creating colour and stability issues if not physically separated within the formulation.
FePura Custom is a colour-masked iron salt encapsulation service developed for formulators who need a specific iron form other than bisglycinate, matched to their target cost, application, and finished product format. Each system is engineered to the customer's chosen iron salt, inclusion rate, and dosage format.
Formulators needing an iron salt other than bisglycinate, for cost, application, or co-formulation reasons, need a development partner who can match the salt form to the colour-masking and stability requirements of their specific product. A development discussion for FePura Custom begins with your target iron salt, application, and finished format, followed by a tailored development sample with batch-level iron assay and a Technical Data Sheet specific to your specification.
Available as a custom development project. Iron salt type, inclusion rate, and barrier system confirmed during specification finalisation with the customer.
Addresses the dark reddish-brown colour of ferrous fumarate and similar salts, which otherwise requires masking before use in food and supplement matrices.
Developed around the specific iron form you need, whether fumarate, sulfate, gluconate, or pyrophosphate, rather than a single fixed grade.
Engineered to help keep iron physically separated from ingredients such as iodine, where direct contact can affect stability and colour over time.
