CA 2258868

A single-dose vitamin and mineral supplement is provided containing high levels of calcium citrate and carbonyl iron for use in humans. Calcium in the form of calcium citrate enhances absorption of iron, zinc, and magnesium. Calcium citrate also provides more bioavailable calcium than common preparations of calcium carbonate. Carbonyl iron provides iron in a form that significantly reduces the risk to children of accidental iron poisoning from formulations that provide iron in salt form. The supplement may further contain a number of vitamins and minerals in a tablet that is elegantly small, weighing about 1.5-1.6 g. The small size allows ease of swallowing and encourages patient acceptability. Methods of making such a supplement and methods of treating maladies in need of vitamin and mineral supplementation are provided.

Cette invention porte sur un complément vitaminique et minéral à dose unique à haute teneur en citrate de calcium et en fer carbonyle, destiné à l'alimentation humaine. Le calcium, sous forme de citrate de calcium, améliore l'absorption du fer, du zinc et du magnésium. Le citrate de calcium donne un calcium plus biodisponible que les préparations ordinaires à base de carbonate de calcium. Le fer carbonyle produit du fer dans une forme qui, chez l'enfant, réduit sensiblement le risque d'empoisonnement accidentel par le fer associé à des préparations incluant du fer sous forme de sel. Le complément peut comprendre en outre un certain nombre de vitamines et de minéraux sous forme de comprimés, d'une petite taille élégante, d'un poids d'environ 1,5 à 1,6 grammes. Du fait de cette petite taille, le comprimé s'avale facilement, ce qui encourage le patient à l'accepter. L'invention concerne des procédés pour fabriquer lesdits compléments et des procédés pour traiter des maladies nécessitant un complément vitaminique et minéral.
