As Vitafoods Asia approaches, Balchem is excited to showcase our best-in-class iron ingredient, Albion® Minerals Ferrochel®, at Booth K32. This trade show, held in vibrant Bangkok, is the perfect platform for looking deeper into the health benefits of Ferrochel, the most clinically researched ferrous bisglycinate chelate brand in the market. This year we continue giving a special focus on “Iron for Growing Minds,” highlighting the importance of efficient and safe iron fortificants for cognitive development in children.
Ferrochel® stands out in the crowded market of iron supplements due to its exceptional bioavailability and gastrointestinal tolerability. Unlike other forms of iron, such as ferrous sulfate, Ferrochel® is a fully reacted chelate, ensuring that the iron remains bound to glycine molecules throughout digestion. This unique structure allows for superior absorption, even in the presence of dietary inhibitors like phytates, commonly found in plant-based diets prevalent in Asia. This feature is crucial for vegetarians and those who rely heavily on plant-based foods, as it helps overcome the reduced absorption typically associated with non-heme iron sources. With Ferrochel® you make sure to get the most out of your supplementation and still feeling good no matter when you take your supplementation.
Iron deficiency can affect anyone, but it’s particularly concerning for children, whose cognitive development can be impaired by inadequate iron levels. Ferrochel® provides a gentle and effective solution, minimizing common side effects like nausea and constipation. This makes it suitable for children and adults alike, ensuring that the entire family can maintain healthy iron levels with ease.
Moreover, the fully reacted chelate form of Ferrochel® limits the interaction with other dietary elements, allowing for more predictable and consistent iron absorption. This attribute is particularly beneficial for pregnant women and athletes who have increased iron needs but may experience gastrointestinal issues with other iron forms.
We are committed to delivering only the highest quality products, which is why Ferrochel® comes with our TRAACS® promise. This ensures that each batch meets stringent quality standards for purity and efficacy as well as a rigorous testing procedure to validate that our product is fully reacted chelate.
The World Health Organization also recognizes ferrous bisglycinate as a preferred form of iron for food fortification, further underscoring its effectiveness and safety.
