Advantages of Ferrous Glycinate as a Source of Iron
1. High Bioavailability
Ferrous Glycinate is highly bioavailable, meaning that the iron is readily absorbed by the body, improving the efficacy of iron supplementation. This makes it an ideal solution for preventing and treating iron deficiency and anemia, especially in individuals with low iron absorption.
2. Odorless and Neutral Taste
Unlike other iron supplements that may have a metallic taste or strong odor, Ferrous Glycinate is odorless and has a neutral flavor, making it easy to incorporate into beverages, solid drinks, and oral liquid formulations without affecting the taste or aroma of the final product.
3. Water-Soluble
Ferrous Glycinate is fully water-soluble, allowing for easy incorporation into liquid formulations. Whether it’s beverages, oral liquids, or solid drink powders, this ingredient dissolves uniformly, ensuring consistent iron delivery in every serving.
4. Low Molecular Weight
Due to its low molecular weight, Ferrous Glycinate is easily transported across cell membranes, facilitating quicker and more efficient absorption. This ensures that a higher percentage of the iron is absorbed by the body, reducing the likelihood of iron-related side effects such as constipation, which is common with other forms of iron.
1. Beverages
Ferrous Glycinate is widely used to fortify nutritional drinks, including juices, sports drinks, and protein shakes, as it is easily soluble and doesn’t affect the taste or appearance of the final product. Its high bioavailability makes it an excellent choice for iron fortification in beverages consumed by individuals at risk of iron deficiency.
2. Solid Drinks
In powdered drink formulations, such as instant beverages and solid drink mixes, Ferrous Glycinate offers superior solubility and stability. Its odorless nature ensures that the flavor profile of the product remains intact, making it an ideal addition to nutritional supplements and fortified powders.
3. Oral Liquids
Ferrous Glycinate is also perfect for use in oral liquid supplements, as it dissolves quickly and remains stable in solution, providing a smooth, easy-to-consume iron supplement. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.
4. Gummies and Chewable Supplements
Due to its neutral taste and high bioavailability, Ferrous Glycinate is used in the production of gummies and chewable iron supplements. Its ease of absorption ensures that consumers receive the necessary iron without experiencing digestive discomfort or metallic aftertaste.
