The biocompatibility of a mineral source expresses its suitability for exposure to the body or bodily fluids. A material is considered biocompatible if it allows the body to function without complications like allergic reactions or adverse side-effects. Using biocompatible ingredients in your food supplement formulation will enhance the repeat buying behavior of consumers.

Lactates and gluconates have shown to be biocompatible vehicles for mineral delivery, as they do not lead to adverse intestinal effects such as gastric irritation, constipation, intestinal bloating or excess gas formation.
