AB-Fortis allows to provide all the recommended daily amount of iron in a single dose, avoiding the metallic taste and the classic side effects of iron fortification of foods.
The product is a patented micro-encapsulation system consisting of a calcium alginate matrix that holds and protects a salt of iron (III) inside.
This capsule is stable under high temperatures and pressures, so it can be easily incorporated into food processing, including fat-rich matrices such as milk or yogurt without oxidation, and it can also be incorporated into nutritional supplements containing iron and vitamins.
To market this new ingredient, AB-Biotics has signed distribution agreements with several companies. The Spanish company Suan Farma will be the main distributor of AB-Fortis, as it will have distribution rights for two years worldwide.
