Abstract
A carbonate- and/or bicarbonate-iron-whey-proteolysate complex includes 1 to 1,000 atoms of iron and one or more molecules of carbonate and/or bicarbonate per one molecule of whey-protein as measured before whey proteolysis, and exhibits no specific iron taste. The carbonate- and/or bicarbonate-iron-whey proteolysate complex is used in drugs, foods, drinks, and animal feed for the purposes of an iron supplement for treatment and prevention of anemia.
