1. Stop the Confusion! Nutritional Fortifiers ≠ Harmful Additives
Mineral Salts Are Core Carriers of Nutrition
Many people equate nutritional fortifiers with additives like preservatives and colorants — this is a major misunderstanding!
Different in nature:
Nutritional fortifiers mainly consist of mineral salts, whose core function is to supplement nutrition — such as iodine in iodized salt, calcium, iron and zinc in milk powder, and iron in fortified soy sauce. Ordinary additives only improve food color, aroma and taste or extend shelf life, with no relation to nutrition supplementation.
Legal positioning:
The new version of GB 2760-2024 classifies nutritional fortifiers as food additives, yet they serve as a "nutrition booster". Their use strictly complies with GB 14880, with precise dosage and safe, controllable application.
Critical role:
They compensate for nutrient loss during food processing and solve dietary imbalance issues. Mineral salts, in particular, are the primary carriers for supplementing trace elements — the core original intention behind Penglai Marine’s long-term focus in this field.
2. Trace Elements: Invisible Guardians of Human Health
Mostly Derived from Mineral Salts
Trace elements (iron, zinc, selenium, iodine, calcium, magnesium, etc.) are only required in milligrams per day, yet participate in vital physiological functions including enzyme synthesis, immune regulation, growth and development. Deficiencies can lead to serious health problems:
- Iron: Contributes to hemoglobin synthesis; deficiency may cause iron-deficiency anemia, impair children’s intellectual development and weaken adults’ immunity.
- Zinc: Supports immune cell production and wound healing; deficiency leads to poor appetite, stunted growth and recurrent infections.
- Calcium: Main component of bones and teeth; involved in nerve conduction and muscle contraction; deficiency may cause osteoporosis, rickets, especially endangering the elderly and adolescents.
- Magnesium: Regulates blood sugar and blood pressure, supports bone health and normal neuromuscular function; deficiency causes muscle cramps, fatigue and poor sleep.
