Re: where can I get ferric citrate? can I make it?

I did a search for ferric citrate (purified) a couple of weeks ago and found the following best price (i.e., smallest quantities for lower total dollar amount), otherwise it seemed relatively expensive IMHO.

www.sciencelab.com 125 g $42.00; 500 g $119.92

Cheers!
