  • Compositions and methods for increasing iron intake in a mammal
    Patent number: 11224614
    Abstract: Compositions containing iron and denatured protein have been prepared that are capable of increasing serum iron and other divalent metal cations in a subject. For example, edible microbeads have been prepared containing iron entrapped within a protein matrix that provides a gastroprotective effect and improves iron bioavailability relative to previously known vehicles for delivering iron to a subject.

  • Compositions and methods for increasing iron intake in a mammal
    Patent number: 11224615
    Abstract: Compositions containing iron, buffering agent and denatured protein have been prepared that are capable of increasing serum iron in a subject. For example, spray dried microbeads have been prepared containing iron entrapped within a protein matrix and unbound iron in a buffered composition that provides a gastroprotective effect, preserves iron in the more available Fe2+ form and improves iron bioavailability in humans relative to previously known vehicles for delivering iron to a subject.
