OUR Iron powders are of highest purity with MIN 99% iron content, which makes it suitable for numerous applications such as food fortification, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and chemical products etc.
The bioavailability of the different forms of elemental iron is very dependent on the size, shape and surface area of the iron particles, (characteristics which are governed by the manufacturing process) as well as the composition of the meals in which it is consumed.
Our Iron powders has been proved to be the best option for food fortification and it has been traditionally used to fortify wheat and other cereal flours.
The main source of iron are eggs, red meat, sea foods and whole grains. Poor intake of these food sources, vegetarian diet or lack of food source availability causes IDA (iron deficiency anemia). Iron fortification of food is a methodology utilized worldwide to address iron deficiency and it helps to intake the daily required amount of iron to humans and considered the most cost-effective approach to prevent iron deficiency.
Iron is the most difficult mineral to add to foods. When added as water-soluble, highly bioavailable compounds such as ferrous sulfate, the soluble iron rapidly catalyzes fat oxidation resulting in rancid products. In addition, water-soluble iron compounds can cause unacceptable color reactions during storage and food preparation. When selecting a suitable iron compound as a food fortificant, the overall objective is to find the one that has the greatest absorbability, shelf life, stability, prices, far less effect on sensory change etc. That is why we prefer e-iron™/ r-iron™for food fortification which has been proved to be the best option for food fortification and it has been traditionally used to fortify wheat and other cereal flours.
e-iron™ / r-iron™ also known as heme iron supplement and helps to treat or prevent anemia when the amount of iron taken in from the normal diet is not enough. Our Iron Powders was approximately 86% as efficacious as FeSO4 for improving body iron within 12 weeks.

e-iron™ and r-iron™ are the purest form of iron so it is used to produce iron supplements. It comes as regular, film-coated, and extended-release (long acting) tablets; capsules, and an oral liquid to be ingested by mouth.
Our iron solutions help strengthen everyday foods with essential nutrition, supporting better health and balanced diets.
Most Trusted brand: e-iron™ and r-iron™ has carved a unique place for iron in food fortification and dietary supplement industry.
e-iron™ and r-iron™ are the best vehicle for food fortification and good interaction with other vitamins and minerals
