Abstract
A six-carbon uronate (e.g. galacturonate or glucuronate) moiety is capable of complexing up to about 3 gram atoms of iron to provide a hematinic compound with high iron content, high bioavailability of iron (up to about 100% of FeSO.sub.4), reduced side effects (e.g. little or no metallic taste), and excellent compatibility with foodstuffs, pharmaceutical extenders, etc.
