As a result of increasing consumer awareness of the importance
of nutrition in relation to health, functional food and drinks have
become popular amongst consumers.
A poor diet can have a negative impact on health, causing
health-threatening conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes type 2, and osteoporosis.
Dietary minerals are the chemical elements required by living
organisms. Since these are not produced by the body, they must be
ingested daily through food. Minerals needed in our body in large
amounts (major minerals) are calcium, magnesium, potassium and
sodium. Those that occur in smaller quantities are called trace
minerals and include iron, and zinc.
Purac provides macro nutrients like calcium, magnesium,
potassium, zinc and ferrous. These soluble minerals are based on
lactate and gluconate, creating neutral and highly bioavailable
fortification solutions for food and beverages.
