I am not very good at chemistry, so I guess my question is how much does structure change once it binds to became salt.Will iron citrate still bind to the same things as iron?Thank you!
No, iron citrate won't bind to much of anything. The citrate chelates the iron, which basically means it encloses the iron like a cage or a protective bubble. So iron citrate isn't really a salt per say. Most salts dissolve pretty easily, usually in water. But iron citrate doesn't dissolve in water; the only thing it seems to be able to dissolve in is ammonia.
