Bioavailability Studies of Stabilized Iron (II) Sulfate by Means of the Prophylactic-preventive Method

Abstract: The bioavailability of stabilized ferrous sulfate was studied by means of the prophylactic-preventive test in rats. For comparative purposes, ferrous sulfate was used as reference standard. The test was performed in male weaned rats during 3 weeks, which were randomized into three groups of ten animals each. A control group received a basal diet of low iron content while the other groups received the same diet added with iron at a dose of 15 mg/kg as FeSO4 7H2O and stabilized ferrous sulfate, respectively.

“…We have previously determined the bioavailability of stabilized iron (II) sulfate for its potential use in food fortification [8]. The iron bioavailability (BioFe) and the relative biological value (RBV) of stabilized iron (II) sulfate were closely similar to the reference standard [8].…”

“…Stabilized iron (II) sulfate has a natural composition (ferrous sulfate stabilized with glycine and malic acid) [8]; therefore, undesirable effects or interactions are not expected at nutritional levels. We have previously determined the bioavailability of stabilized iron (II) sulfate for its potential use in food fortification [8].…”
