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

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.
