Sodium glucoheptonate is mainly used as a chelating agent that binds metal ions like calcium, iron, and magnesium, helping to maintain their solubility and stability in solutions. It is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, food additives, and cosmetics to prevent metal-catalyzed degradation. In medicine, it can assist in mineral supplementation and improve the bioavailability of certain drugs. Its good water solubility and low toxicity make it suitable for a wide range of applications. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Sodium (2R, 3R, 4R, 5S, 6R)-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7-hexahydroxyheptanoate and SODIUM-alpha-GLUCOHEPTONATE. Its PubChem CID is 49853507.
