Ferrous Peptonate
NutrientFerrous peptonate is an iron-based nutrient supplement formed by combining ferrous (iron II) compounds with peptides or amino acids. It is used in fortified foods and beverages to increase bioavailable iron content for nutritional enhancement.
Fish Protein Concentrate, Whole
NutrientFish Protein Concentrate, Whole is a nutrient-derived ingredient made from processed whole fish that serves as a protein supplement in food products. It is used to enhance the nutritional profile of foods by increasing protein content and is not currently designated as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
Fish Protein Isolate
NutrientFish Protein Isolate is a concentrated protein ingredient derived from fish through mechanical and enzymatic processing. It functions as a nutrient supplement in food and beverage products to enhance protein content and nutritional value.
Folic Acid
NutrientFolic acid is a synthetic form of folate, a B-vitamin essential for DNA synthesis and cell division. It is widely used as a nutrient supplement in fortified foods and dietary supplements to prevent nutritional deficiencies.
Gluten, Gum
NutrientGluten Gum is a nutrient supplement derived from gluten that functions as a thickening and stabilizing agent in food products. It provides protein and is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA with no reported adverse events or recalls.
Iron-choline Citrate Complex
NutrientIron-choline citrate complex is an organic compound combining iron, choline, and citric acid that functions as a nutrient supplement in food and beverage products. It is used to fortify foods with bioavailable iron and choline, essential nutrients for human health and metabolic function.
L-alanine
NutrientL-alanine is a naturally occurring amino acid used as a nutrient supplement in food and beverages. It serves as a building block for proteins and is added to products to enhance nutritional value, particularly in sports nutrition and medical foods.
L-arginine
NutrientL-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid used as a nutrient supplement in food and beverage products. It plays important roles in protein synthesis, immune function, and nitric oxide production in the body.
L-carnitine
NutrientL-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative found in animal products and synthesized in the human body. It is used as a nutrient supplement in food and beverages to support energy metabolism and cellular function.
L-lysine
NutrientL-lysine is an essential amino acid used as a nutrient supplement in food and beverages to enhance protein content and nutritional value. It is naturally found in protein-containing foods and is added to fortified products to increase their amino acid profile.
Lactalbumin
