Provided herein are complexes of ferrous (Fe2+) ion with pyruvate ion and with citrate ion, and methods of making such complexes. The ferrous complexes are useful, inter alia, for providing ferrous iron to plants in a stable form, e.g., for treatment of chlorosis and microbial infections, and for preparation of iron-fortified vegetables as foodstuffs. The ferrous complexes are also useful, inter alia, for providing ferrous iron to humans and other animals in a stable form, e.g., for treatment of iron deficiency, treatment of microbial infections and as topical antiseptics and sterilizing agents. Also provided are complexes of ferric (Fe3+) ion with pyruvate ion, and methods for making such complexes. The ferric complexes are useful, inter alia, for sustained release of ferrous iron to a subject such as a plant or animal.
