Iron Fortification of Tea

We have developed technology that adds bioavailable iron to tea. We have shown the process to be effective in-vitro, and in-vivo. We will test the positive health effect of iron fortified tea in Tanzania in cooperation with Haydom Hospital and in India the St. John’s Research Institute. We will complete adjustments to the color and taste of fortified tea, and initiate the scale-up in cooperation with tea formulators and manufacturers in India and Canada.
