LIPOFER™ microcapsules

Formulating iron supplements can be challenging, as the chemical reactivity of iron often results in the generation of unfavorable organoleptic properties as well as in reduced bioavailability of the mineral.
LIPOFER™ is a water-dispersible micronized source of iron that has been microencapsulated to enhance iron absorption and a reduction in undesirable organoleptic attributes. It is backed up by Lubrizol’s extensive consumer knowledge and robust scientific capabilities. The technology can also enable the creation of halal and kosher-certified foods, keeping products accessible and inclusive. 

LIPOFER™ provides a way to overcome manufacturers' common challenges when developing iron-fortified products. Our innovative microencapsulation technology enables the formulation of a wide range of great-tasting, easy-to-use products that align with consumer demands.
