Adding natural heme iron makes food fortification easy

Iron serves as a crucial component in the creation of hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body via red blood cells. Additionally, iron holds significant importance in various bodily functions, including cognitive and immune functions, as well as energy production.

OmniFer™ is a protein derived from porcine red blood cells that have a natural content of heme iron. It has a protein content of ≥ 92 % and comes as a dispersible spray-dried powder – easy to incorporate into various food and beverage formulations. When incorporating OmniFer™ into different food and beverage products, you not only enhance their protein content but also introduce naturally occurring heme iron, which boasts higher bioavailability compared to non-heme iron.

Although iron naturally occurs in numerous food sources, it may not always be present in adequate amounts to fulfill individual iron needs. Nevertheless, the concentration of heme iron in OmniFer™ is at a level that makes it easy to achieve a significant amount of iron in the final food product or beverage.

OmniFer™ contains 270 mg of heme iron per 100 grams of ingredient powder.

Heme iron – easy to absorb

The iron we eat comes in two forms: heme and non-heme. While our bodies can use both forms of iron, heme iron is much easier to absorb. OmniFer™ is a protein with naturally occurring heme iron with an absorption level of 20-30 %.

20-30 % is absorbed (animal sources)

5-10 % is absorbed (plant-based sources)

The absorption of heme iron is relatively unaffected by other factors, whereas the absorption of non-heme iron depends on other components in foods eaten at the same time e.g., vitamin C.

Excessive intake of iron beyond the tolerable upper limit can pose risks.

Women of reproductive age are vulnerable to inadequate iron levels.

For individuals facing challenges in obtaining sufficient iron from their diet alone, iron fortification presents a valuable option to address this deficiency.
