One of the primary uses of ferric pyrophosphate citrate powder is in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In CKD and other conditions where oral iron supplements are less effective or not feasible, this compound provides an alternative route for iron supplementation.
Additionally, it finds its use in fortifying foods and beverages. Its relatively stable and non-reactive nature makes it a preferred choice for iron fortification, especially in dairy products and cereals.
