Iron Tablet

Iron Tablets are mineral supplements that provide iron, an essential mineral the body needs to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Iron is one of the most commonly supplemented minerals in the world, especially for women, teenagers and people on plant-based diets.

Arizone International manufactures and supplies Iron Tablets in a range of iron forms, including advanced options such as bisglycinate and liposomal-concept iron, for nutraceutical brands, wholesalers, distributors and private label businesses.

Why Iron Matters in India

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency globally, and it is a major public health issue in India. National Family Health Survey data show that more than half of Indian women are anaemic, and the government's Anemia Mukt Bharat programme provides iron and folic acid supplements to children, adolescents and pregnant women. Much of the Indian diet is vegetarian, and the non-haem iron in plant foods is absorbed less efficiently than the haem iron in meat.

Forms of Iron We Work With

• Ferrous SulphateWidely used and economical, with a long history of use.
• Ferrous FumarateCarries a high share of elemental iron per gram.
• Ferrous BisglycinateA chelated form bound to glycine, often chosen for being gentler on the stomach.
• Carbonyl Iron and Iron PolymaltoseAlternative forms used in some formulations.
• Liposomal-Concept IronIron presented with a liposomal-focused formulation approach, a modern positioning for premium ranges.

Applications

• Daily iron supplements for women and teenagers
• Iron and folic acid combinations
• Haematinic blends with vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folate
• Prenatal and women's multivitamins
• Vegetarian and vegan nutrition products
• Private label mineral ranges

Formulation Tips

Iron tablets are usually labelled by elemental iron content, for example 14 mg, 18 mg or higher, depending on the target market and regulations. Vitamin C helps absorption, while calcium, tea, coffee and some antacids reduce it, so labels often advise taking iron apart from these. Film coating helps mask the metallic taste and protects the tablet.

Important Safety Notes

Iron overdose is a leading cause of poisoning in young children, so iron tablets must carry clear warnings and child-resistant packaging where required. Iron can cause constipation, nausea and dark stools. People with haemochromatosis or other iron-overload conditions must not take iron supplements. Anyone who suspects anaemia should get a blood test first, since anaemia can have other causes.

Quality Considerations

• Iron form and elemental iron assay
• Heavy metals, especially lead, and microbiology
• Tablet hardness, disintegration and dissolution
• Coating quality and stability
• Batch consistency and Certificate of Analysis

Tips for Buyers and Formulators

Ferrous bisglycinate is gentler on the stomach than ferrous sulphate, and adding vitamin C helps iron absorption. Iron tablets must carry a child-safety warning in many markets, as iron overdose is dangerous for children.
