Taste-Free™ Fe
Chewable tablets, lozenges, or any sort of beverage that contains iron will tend to have an unpleasant metallic aftertaste. According to a recent survey from the American Academy of Pediatrics, 86.7% of doctors reported that unpleasant taste is a major cause of non-compliance. In response to this need, Balchem developed Taste-Free™ Fe.
Several clinical studies have been done showing a greater absorption rate for Taste-Free™ Fe than with ferrous sulfate. Researchers found that electrochemical neutrality, charge balance, and low solubility give Taste-Free™ Fe stability and sensory quality advantages.
Taste-Free™ Fe has been shown to be an effective way to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia due to its bioavailability and safety. Taste-Free™ Fe is a great choice for iron in supplements and food products that need to have a palatable form of iron.
