Treatment of anemia with microencapsulated ferrous fumarate plus ascorbic acid supplied as sprinkles to complementary (weaning) foods.
BACKGROUND Standard therapy for anemia in infants is ferrous sulfate drops administered 3 times/d. Adherence to treatment, however, is often poor. One likely reason for poor adherence is the unpleasant side effects associated with drops. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the use of a new form of iron and a delivery system to treat anemia in infants that is likely to produce better adher...
متن کاملAuthors' Reply: Sprinkles as a Home Fortification Strategy to Improve the Quality of Complementary Foods
Stacia Nordin I appreciate Zlotkin and colleagues’ years of work on the Sprinkle product, and it sounds like the product is much improved from the pill form of micronutrient treatments [1]. I’m not at all opposed to Sprinkle-type products or other nutrient pills for treatment (or in other special situations), but as ten years of international work experience on food and nutrition security issue...
متن کاملDetermination of iron absorption from intrinsically labeled microencapsulated ferrous fumarate (sprinkles) in infants with different iron and hematologic status by using a dual-stable-isotope method.
BACKGROUND The use of microencapsulated ferrous fumarate sprinkles is a new approach for home fortification. Iron and hematologic status may affect the absorption of iron from sprinkles. OBJECTIVE The objective was to measure the absorption (corrected erythrocyte incorporation of (57)Fe) of 2 different doses of iron from sprinkles added to a maize-based complementary food provided to infants ...
متن کاملL-ascorbic acid microencapsulated with polyacylglycerol monostearate for milk fortification.
Efficiency was examined of microencapsulating L-ascorbic acid by polyglycerol monostearate (PGMS), and changes in the chemical and sensorial aspects of L-ascorbic acid and/or iron-fortified milk during storage were evaluated. The selected core materials were ferric ammonium sulfate and L-ascorbic acid. The highest efficiency (94.2%) of microencapsulation was found with the ratio of 5:1 as the c...
متن کاملUse of microencapsulated iron(II) fumarate sprinkles to prevent recurrence of anaemia in infants and young children at high risk.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of microencapsulated iron(II) fumarate sprinkles (with and without vitamin A), iron(II) sulfate drops, and placebo sprinkles in preventing recurrence of anaemia and to determine the long-term haematological outcomes in children at high risk of recurrence of anaemia 12 months after the end of supplementation. METHODS A prospective, randomized, placebo-con...
