Example 6
A highly concentrated iron formulation for use as an additive or dietary supplement in the treatment of anemia was prepared having the following ingredients:
The product was prepared by dissolving 220 mg Phospholipon 90G (Lipoid AG) in 180 mg propylene glycol (Chempur) and stirring this mixture (4 h, RT, 60 RPM) until a homogeneous lipid yellow solution was obtained. Said solution was mixed (12 h, RT, 200 RPM) with 580 mg of an aqueous phase containing 20 mg iron(III)diphosphate buffered with phosphate buffer (0.01 M, pH 7.2). The resulting mixture was extruded through a polycarbonate filter with a pore diameter of 100 nm in one cycle. Vitamin E as an antioxidant, natural aroma, and a sweetening substance were sequentially added and stirred (0.5 h, RT, 60 RPM) in order to obtain the final product.
