    Features & Benefits

    Product Highlight
    • It does not affect product organoleptic characteristics : The stabilized sources doesn't alter the taste, smell, color and texture
    • It does not alter product stability : In the process of stabilization, the metallic ion is associated to aminoacids, decreasing the reactivity of the metallic ion as catalyst factor of rancidity eactions.
    • Complying with the specifications of the Food Chemical Codex.
    • High Bioavailability : The concept of Bioavailablity in nutrition refers to the proportion of a nutrient that is digested/absorbed and metabolized through normal pathways. All our mineral sources have high bioavailability.
    Main Characteristics
    • Stable in food not altering the taste, smell, color or texture, while undergoing thermal processes.
    • High solubility in water.
    • High bio-availability / physiologically available from the food.
