So, what is ferrous lactate?
Ferrous lactate is a food ingredient that is commonly used as a source of iron in various food products. It is a type of iron salt that is derived from lactic acid, a natural byproduct of milk fermentation. Ferrous lactate is a white or pale yellow powder that is easily soluble in water and has a slightly metallic taste. Due to its ability to increase iron levels in the body, it is often added to food products like breakfast cereals, infant formula, and sports drinks. Ferrous lactate is considered safe for consumption in moderate amounts and is a popular choice for food manufacturers looking to fortify their products with essential nutrients.
