Fe Gluconate Solution

[Mr.Shenanagins]

Can anyone help me figure out how to utilize this particular brand of Fe Gluconate? I’d like to make my own solution to hook up to my auto doser. I know most dry powders marketed as fertilizer say 12.46% but this is a food grade supplement and the directions claim it’s 2% ferric iron.

I know this post is old and you probably found other solutions since then but you never got any answer. So here it goes.
The iron content of this product is too low. You would need to add inordinate amounts of this product to reach proper levels which would then cost you a lot. You would want to have a Fe Gluconate that is 11%.

Ahhhh well that’s good to know. It was one of the only ferrous gluconate powders I could find, GLA’s has been sold out.

Yes it's not easy to find Fe Gluconate in retail. I was lucky that a friend who lives in the UK bought 25kg to a wholesale supplier and he shipped a few bags to me here in Thailand. Where I am it was impossible to find other than those pills made for human consumption.

I now have enough for the rest of my life. Although, Fe Gluconate degrades with time so not sure how good it will be in a few years time.

Thanks for this! I think when I initially looked GLA and NilocG were both out of stock. GLA still is but I’ll grab some now from NilocG while I can.
