Stability

This ferrous compound is sensitive to light and gradually oxidizes to ferric iron when exposed to air. Stability is significantly enhanced in an acidic pH range of 3.5 to 4.5, ideally with a citrate buffer, to prevent rapid oxidation observed in neutral solutions. Glycerin can also help mitigate this oxidation.

Conflicts

  • Ascorbic acid (may induce dark coloration)
  • Aminoacetic acid (may induce dark coloration)
  • Pyridoxine (may result in a green discoloration)
  • Oxidizing agents (due to its propensity for oxidation)
  • Alkaline conditions (may lead to reduced iron solubility)
