Ferric choline citrate, also known as choline citrate iron salt, is produced by combining ferric hydroxide with choline dihydrogen citrate. In the context of chemistry and biochemistry, the ferric state of iron is particularly interesting due to its electron configuration, which allows it to participate in various redox reactions. The presence of citrate can enhance the solubility of ferric iron by forming a chelate complex, where the citrate ions coordinate to the iron atom through their carboxylate groups. This solubilization is in environments where iron′s poor solubility might otherwise limit its reactivity or the study of its properties.
