Iron Succinate
More than 25% of the world’s population has anemia, of which more than 50% have iron deficiency anemia. Children below seven years of age are most vulnerable to iron deficiency (1). Iron succinate (35% elemental iron) is a non-toxic and stable iron form. It has the most favorable uptake compared to other iron compounds, possibly through an effect of succinate on intracellular transport mechanisms (2, 3).
Zinc Bis-Glycinate
Zinc bis-glycinate is a well-tolerated and well-absorbed zinc form, which consists of one zinc molecule bound in a chelate to two molecules of the amino acid glycine (bis = two). Since zinc in this form is absorbed intact, it does not compete in the absorption in the intestinal tract of other minerals or trace elements. Read More
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a xanthophyll reddish-orange carotenoid with important nutraceutical applications and health benefits. The significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, skin-protective, immunomodulator, antimicrobial, and anticancer activity, as well as the ability to improve lipid metabolism, make astaxanthin a promising compound for the prevention and treatment of different health conditions (4).
