Iron

Iron is a mineral commonly considered for daily-wellness and sports ranges. On DAT Supply briefs the positioning is set by the brand brief and reviewed against the target market’s claim rules — we do not pre-position an active for any single benefit. Editorial framing uses only EU 432/2012- or DSHEA-compatible wording — we never promote unauthorised claims, even when the active has consumer-side momentum. Format-wise we have considered Iron for powder sachet, drops, strip and jelly; the per-format formulation notes below describe the live constraints (taste, payload, stability, packaging) we tune in the formulation pass. Sourcing form (extract ratio for botanicals, salt or chelate form for minerals, free-form vs ester for amino acids) is reviewed against the brief, with documentation matched to the target market’s import rules. Inclusion rate and claim wording are reviewed per project — no two briefs land on the same combination, and we don’t publish off-the-shelf doses.

Project-specific

Across the EU and UK markets Iron is treated as a mineral nutrient: on-pack benefit wording must come from the EU 432/2012 register (UK retains the same wording post-Brexit), with the inclusion rate meeting the minimum thresholds tied to the chosen claim. For the US market, label copy follows DSHEA structure-function rules with the standard FDA disclosure. Mineral form (e.g. citrate vs oxide, glycinate vs sulphate) and the resulting elemental load are reviewed against the target claim — confirmed per project. The back-of-pack nutritional table is built against the market’s reference intake framework, and any country-level limits (France, Italy, Belgium for the EU; California Prop 65 for the US) are reviewed before launch.

Iron is measured by weight (mg) per serving on DAT Supply briefs. The working anchor — the inclusion rate against which target-market claim wording is reviewed — is set during the formulation pass for each project rather than published as a fixed number on the public page. Final per-serving load depends on the chosen format (gummy payload window, capsule fill weight, softgel oil load, sachet or powder scoop size, oral-liquid bottle geometry) and the claim wording the brand needs to support against the target market. Sourcing form (extract ratio, standardised marker, micronised vs granular, salt or chelate form) is reviewed in the same pass. Country-level upper limits (France, Italy, Belgium for the EU; California Prop 65 for the US) are checked before any inclusion rate is finalised. Dose is confirmed per project — we don’t publish off-the-shelf dose tables for any active in the catalogue.
