Introduction<br />

Iron deficiency continues to be a concern around the<br />

world, especially in women and children, often resulting<br />

in anemia. One approach to prevent iron deficiency is<br />

supplementation of food, vitamins and nutritional<br />

products. In formulating an iron supplement, one must<br />

consider bioavailability, toxicity, side effects, iron content,<br />

stability, taste and ease of formulation when selecting an<br />

iron source. Ferronyl® iron is an ideal source of essentially<br />

pure iron with low toxicity, minimal metallic taste and<br />

excellent bioavailability. Thus, it is the better choice for<br />

iron supplementation.<br />

Ferronyl iron powder is elemental iron (Fe) with high (><br />

98%) iron content. High iron content results in lower use<br />

levels to achieve same daily intake levels compared to<br />

ferrous (Fe 2+ ) salts (e.g., ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate,<br />

or ferrous gluconate). This is important in multivitamin<br />

formulations where smaller tablets are preferred for<br />

consumer compliance, but often difficult to achieve with<br />

the large number of actives in a formulation.<br />

Benefits of Ferronyl Iron Powder<br />

●<br />

Low Use Levels<br />

In addition to the high iron content, a key physical<br />

property of Ferronyl iron is its fine spherical particle size<br />

that results in higher human bioavailability than other<br />

elemental iron forms.<br />

Each year accidental iron overdose accounts for a<br />

significant number of emergency room visits and too<br />

many childhood deaths. Thus, one must consider toxicity<br />

when selecting an iron source for a supplement product.<br />

Ferronyl iron is far less toxic than soluble iron salts, it<br />

causes fewer side effects, and the slow absorption from<br />

the GI tract provides time for clinical intervention in the<br />

event of accidental overdose.<br />

Physical & Chemical Properties<br />

Product Description<br />

Ferronyl iron powder is elemental iron manufactured by the chemical decomposition of iron<br />

pentacarbonyl. The resulting iron particles are small, uniform particles of high purity with only traces of<br />

carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.<br />

Iron Content<br />

With greater than 98% iron, Ferronyl iron has a much higher iron level than ferrous salts, such as ferrous<br />

gluconate, ferrous sulfate and ferrous fumarate (Table 1). As a result, substantially less Ferronyl iron is<br />

required to reach the same unit dose than a ferrous salt, resulting in lower tablet weight. This makes<br />

Ferronyl iron well suited for multivitamin applications with high active levels as Ferronyl iron can reduce<br />

tablet weight.<br />

Physical & Chemical Properties<br />

Particle Morphology<br />

Ferronyl carbonyl iron powder (CIP) is a grey powder. When<br />

examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM),<br />

Ferronyl iron particles are highly spherical (Figure 1). The<br />

spherical particle morphology provides for excellent flow<br />

during manufacturing.<br />

Figure 1. Ferronyl iron particles are<br />

spherical providing good flow properties.<br />

Particle Size and Particle Size Distribution<br />

Ferronyl carbonyl iron has a narrow particle size distribution (Figure 2). The typical average particle size is<br />

about 7 to 9 microns which is smaller than the 10-100 microns of other forms of elemental iron (e.g.,<br />

reduced, electrolytic and atomized). This small particle size contributes to its high bioavailability.<br />

With a narrow particle size distribution, Ferronyl iron does not require additional processing prior to<br />

formulation. Other iron sources can have wide particle size distributions and, thus, must be sieved, milled<br />

or ground prior to use which adds time and cost to the manufacturing process.<br />

Physical & Chemical Properties<br />

Stability<br />

Ferronyl iron is stable without loss of efficacy, even under elevated temperature and humidity.<br />

When Ferronyl iron was formulated with Vitamin C (50:50 blend) and held in a humidity chamber for<br />

several weeks, only slight color changes were noted. This is the result of the Ferronyl carbonyl iron being<br />

relatively impervious to atmospheric oxidation. In contrast to other iron sources, such as ferrous salts,<br />

Ferronyl iron shows significantly less color change at elevated temperature and humidity (Table 2).<br />

Bioavailability<br />

The amount of iron absorbed by the body per unit dosage from a particular iron source is a function of<br />

several factors - particle size, surface area, ionic charge, iron content. The first three of these factors<br />

contribute to the relative biological value (RBV) of the iron source - a measure of how quickly the iron<br />

enters the blood stream. The iron content is a function of molecular structure, i.e., elemental iron versus<br />

ferrous salts like ferrous sulfate (FeSO 4 ) and is a measure of the percentage of iron in a unit dose.<br />

Multiplying the RBV by the iron content produces the iron absorption per unit dosage. Table 3 shows that<br />

the high iron absorption from Ferronyl iron results from its small particle size, which contributes to a<br />

higher RBV than other forms of elemental iron, and its high iron content relative to ferrous sulfate.<br />

Table 3. The small particle size of Ferronyl iron contributes to its high RBV, which together with its high iron<br />

content leads to high absorption per unit dose.<br />

In a study of iron-deficient rats, Sacks and Houchin (1978 a,b) concluded that, for similar iron dosage<br />

levels, carbonyl iron powder was as effective as ferrous sulfate and more so than ferrous pyrophosphate<br />

in restoring normal hematocrit levels (Table 4). Due to its finer particle size, carbonyl iron powder was also<br />

found to be more efficacious than the other forms of elemental iron (e.g., electrolytic and reduced).<br />

Applications<br />

As Ferronyl iron is easily formulated into tablets and liquid suspensions, it is a better choice for iron<br />

supplements, including multivitamin tablets, chewable tablets and liquid suspensions.<br />

One advantage of formulating with Ferronyl iron is that it does not require further processing prior to<br />

formulation, thus reducing manufacturing time and costs. With its narrow particle size distribution and<br />

spherical particle morphology, Ferronyl iron can be formulated as supplied.<br />

Tablets<br />

Since less Ferronyl iron is required to achieve the unit dose, compared to ferrous salts, smaller tablets are<br />

achieved. Hence, Ferronyl iron is ideally suited for multivitamin formulations containing iron to reduce<br />

tablet weight compared to ferrous salts. High tablet weight can lead to difficult to swallow tablets that<br />

result in poor consumer compliance.<br />

In recent studies, tablets of equivalent weight containing the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iron<br />

for adults of Ferronyl iron, ferrous sulfate and ferrous fumarate with equal parts lactose and dicalcium<br />

phosphate with small amounts of lubricant were evaluated for hardness and friability over a range of<br />

compression forces. Ferronyl iron provided tablets of equivalent hardness and friability to ferrous sulfate<br />

and ferrous fumarate. (Figure 3)<br />

Applications<br />

Liquid Suspensions<br />

For some consumers, like children, it may be difficult to swallow tablets; therefore a liquid dosage form<br />

may be preferred. As Ferronyl iron is compatible with commonly used excipients and additives, it can be<br />

formulated into stable liquid formulations.<br />

One example of a stable liquid suspension with Ferronyl iron is shown in Table 5. After 3 months at 40 o C<br />

and 75% relative humidity, the formulation was white and pH was unchanged.<br />

Safety & Toxicity Summary<br />

The primary reason Ferronyl iron is offered as an alternative to ferrous salts is the inherent safety (30 - 150<br />

fold reduction in toxicity) that results from the rate limiting conversion of elemental iron to ferrous ion via<br />

gastric acid. As a result of the slow gastrointestinal oxidation, toxic effects resulting from accidental<br />

overdose of carbonyl iron take longer to materialize; a window of time allowing clinical intervention. Both<br />

historic and more recently expanded acute oral toxicity studies in several animal models support these<br />

claims. In addition, statistics compiled by the American Association of Poison Control Centers show both<br />

fewer and less severe incidences of toxic exposure resulting from accidental overdose of carbonyl iron<br />

powder versus ferrous salts. This inherently safe material is one effective and demonstrable way iron<br />

supplementation does not become iron overdose and death.<br />

Poison Control Statistics<br />

In statistics compiled through the American Association of Poison Control Centers' Toxic Exposure<br />

Surveillance System (AAPCC TESS) carbonyl iron powder had substantially fewer and less severe signs and<br />

symptoms of toxicity than ferrous salts both on an absolute basis and relative to the total number of<br />

reported incidences (Table 6). Furthermore, the same AAPCC TESS database shows that carbonyl iron<br />

powder is significantly safer than ibuprofen, a common over the counter drug not subject to the<br />

packaging and labeling requirements of iron supplements. Another finding from these data is that the<br />

AAPCC documented the length of time these overdose signs and symptoms persisted in the ferrous salt<br />

and carbonyl iron powder overdose situations. With iron salt overdoses, the majority of the symptoms for<br />

both moderate and severe effects lasted over 24 hours and some as long as one month. In the two<br />

reported cases of carbonyl iron powder overdoses there was complete recovery within 8 hours.<br />

Safety & Toxicity Summary<br />

Animal Toxicity Studies<br />

The relative safety advantage of carbonyl iron powder over ferrous sulfate has been known for over fifty<br />

years. Acute oral toxicity studies done in several different laboratory animal species show that for the<br />

same iron dosage, carbonyl iron powder is 30-150 times safer (Table 7).<br />

ISP, 1997a Young Rat 950 190 19,000<br />

In the 1997 study on young rats (ISP 1997a,b), the research also looked at the time to expiration for<br />

animals given a toxic iron dose. When treated with 1000 mg/kg ferrous ion, 60% of the animals expired<br />

within 2 hours and the remainder within 4 hours. For animals treated with 100 times more Ferronyl iron;<br />

all lived at least 4 hours, half lived at least 24 hours and some lived for as long as 5 days (Table 8). This time<br />

differential is directly related to the rise in free plasma iron and suggests that the oxidation of Ferronyl<br />

iron to ferrous ion and subsequent movement of the ion across the mucosal cell is significantly slower<br />

than the simple transport of the ferrous ion derived from ferrous sulfate. The slower increase in toxicity<br />

provides time for clinical intervention in the case of accidental Ferronyl iron overdose that is not available<br />

in the event of iron salt overdose.<br />

Safety & Toxicity Summary<br />

In rats given a LD 90 dose of iron (ISP 1997c), Ferronyl iron treated animals had lower plasma iron after 1<br />

hour and no visibly detected gastrointestinal tract erythema, despite about 100 and 290 times higher<br />

dosages of iron in male and female rats, respectively, than the ferrous sulfate treated animals (Table 9).<br />

This corroborates the previous finding that Ferronyl iron entered the vascular space more slowly than<br />

ferrous ion.<br />

Table 9. The low toxicity of Ferronyl iron results from the controlled release of iron into the blood stream.<br />

Safety & Toxicity Summary<br />

Plasma iron levels increased for all FeSO 4 and Ferronyl iron treatment groups. The plasma iron levels for<br />

swine receiving the highest dose of Ferronyl iron (15,000 mg/kg) were comparable to those that received<br />

the lowest dose of FeSO 4 (20 mg Fe 2+ /kg). These findings, like those of the previously mentioned rat study,<br />

suggest that although iron crosses the wall of the GI tract, there is a barrier to the movement of large<br />

amounts of Ferronyl iron into the blood stream in a short period of time. Histopathological staining of key<br />

organs for iron deposits reinforced this observation. Again the amounts found in the lowest dose of<br />

ferrous sulfate were comparable to the amounts of iron found with the highest dose of carbonyl iron<br />

powder. A 14-day recovery period indicated that iron stores in liver and spleen returned to normal in<br />

Ferronyl iron treated animals versus those that received FeSO 4 .<br />

Summary<br />

Each year accidental iron overdose accounts for a significant number of emergency room visits and too<br />

many cases of childhood death. In developing effective products for iron supplementation, care must be<br />

taken not to increase the incidences of toxic exposure. Ferronyl carbonyl iron powder represents an<br />

opportunity to correct a fundamental problem with iron supplementation - the toxicity of currently used<br />

iron salts. Ferronyl is far less toxic than soluble iron salts, it causes fewer side effects, and the slow<br />

absorption from the GI tract provides time for clinical intervention in the event of accidental overdose.<br />

Combined with its high bioavailability, lower use levels and bland taste, Ferronyl iron is a better choice for<br />

iron supplementation.<br />
