Encapsulated Iron System Supports Vegans and Vegetarians

Jan. 8, 2016
AB-Fortis, a patented encapsulated iron system from Frutarom BU Health, supports iron deficiency.

AB-Fortis, a patented encapsulated iron system, supports vegans/vegetarians, as well as women of childbearing years, all of whom commonly suffer from iron deficiency. It's a clean label, GMO-free, all-natural ingredient, has a high iron content and can be formulated into a full range of food and beverage applications. Traditional iron supplements have a strong metallic taste and powerful oxidative properties—both undesirable for foods. They also are hard to digest, and sometimes cause nausea, constipation, gastric distress, and headaches. AB-Fortis is produced by a patented process to provide stable encapsulation with minimal release of free iron into the food matrix.
