Abstract
Nutritional mineral supplements comprise iron compounds and calcium compounds in combination with citrates of tartrates, ascorbates, and, optionally, fructose. The tendency of calcium to inhibit the bio-availability is reduced in such compositions, so that conjoint bioavailability of these two important minerals is enhanced.
