Iron Chelators Development Service
The nutrient iron is indispensable to life, but iron overload can lead to significant health issues. Especially for those who have diseases involving too much iron in the body, it's important to control the iron level. Protheragen's iron chelators development services allow nutraceutical manufacturers and researchers to develop safe, effective, and scientifically supported nutraceuticals that support normal iron metabolism via a natural chelation pathway.
Introduction to Iron Chelators
An iron chelator is a compound that binds with certain iron ions, which affects how the body absorbs, transports, stores, and excretes iron. In the scope of nutraceuticals, it seeks to augment the body's natural mechanisms that modulate iron levels, particularly beneficial for users attempting to nutritionally support balanced iron levels, be it dietary or genetic predispositions towards iron overload.

Classification of Iron Chelators
- Plant-Derived Chelators
There are so many natural extracts that have iron chelating effects. Such as selected polyphenols, flavonoids, and organic acids from fruit, vegetables, and medicinal plants.
- Amino Acid/Peptide-Based Chelators
Certain amino acids and short peptides can interact with iron to provide an alternative, naturally derived form of iron chelation.
- Synthetic Chelators
These are synthetic molecules created to resemble the iron-binding processes in nature and often with improved stability or bioavailability properties.
