Ferric maltol

SKU: orb1308818

Description

Ferric maltol is an oral iron(III) complex with improved gastrointestinal tolerability, particularly for patients intolerant to conventional iron salts. It is utilized in research on iron deficiency anemia, with studies investigating its absorption and efficacy in both cellular models and in vivo systems.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Iron that is not absorbed from Ferric maltol can remain in its chelated form at least throughout the small intestine, minimizing the risk of intestinal mucosal damage from free iron and potentially reducing local toxicity.
• In Vitro:
  Ferric maltol increases transferrin saturation and levels of serum ferritin, serum iron, blood hemoglobin, and reticulocyte hemoglobin.
