Iron's magnetic appeal for women's health

Prepared Foods, Feb, 2005

One of the potential downsides of iron fortification in foods and beverages is the development of organoleptic changes, as seen with ferrous sulfate. Taiyo's SunActive Fe is a micronized, super-dispersible iron without iron flavor or color-changing potential. It exhibits superior stability against heat, salt, pH and oxidation, is gentle on the stomach, does not promote constipation, and provides good absorption and bioavailability.

SunActive[R] is self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) as a nutrient supplement/fortificant in foods. Clinical studies have shown iron supplementation of women with non-anemic iron insufficiency produces substantial improvements in fatigue, mood and cognitive function.
