Iron supplements often have an off-putting metallic tang and TopGum's new high-dose iron gummies were created to have sensory appeal and a vegan-friendly formula. The innovative formula uses a TopCaps microencapsulation system to mask unpleasant flavors. IronGum, the latest addition to TopGum's Gummiceuticals line, solves the challenges people face when taking iron supplements.
With a smooth texture and a pleasing flavor, these functional gummies offer a more palatable alternative to large, difficult-to-swallow pills. According to the World Health Organization, about two billion people worldwide, or about 25% of the global population, are iron-deficient and iron gummies are poised to support people with a potent dose and a delicious format powered by patent-pending Gummiceuticals technology with no added sugar. Instead, TopGum uses fructo-oligosaccharide fibers, or plant prebiotic dietary fibers with natural sweetness.
