Evaluation of Iron Absorption From Ferric Ammonium Phosphate and Ferric Pyrophosphate From an Instant Milk Drink in Young Children

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (actual)
• Sponsor: Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) · Industry

Summary

The primary objective was: * to compare iron absorption in apparently healthy children aged 3-6y from an instant full cream milk drink fortified with ferric pyrophosphate or ferric ammonium phosphate relative to ferrous sulfate as the reference fortificant. * To compare iron absorption from ferric pyrophosphate to ferric ammonium phosphate from the milk drink

Conditions

• Healthy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Iron fortified milk with iron salt labelled with 58Fe and 57Fe	Oral administration of a serving of iron labelled with stable isotope (2 mg Fe per serving) in 200ml of reconstituted milk once after a overnight fast. The alternate test drink was fed on the following day in the same fashion. The administration was repeated on day 3 and 4.
