Disclosed is a composition comprising an effective amount of a dietary metal and a coordinating ligand, wherein the dietary metal is provided as a cationic complex and/or as an anionic complex and wherein the coordinating ligand coordinates the dietary metal cationic complex and/or the dietary metal anionic complex. The composition is used to deliver a dietary metal to a subject in need thereof by administering the composition to the subject, optionally perorally. Examples of the dietary metal include zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co) and combinations thereof. In a particular example, the coordinating ligand comprises cellulose.

The present invention discloses a multiple modular system for the formation of powders, characterized in that it comprises a tower (1) comprising an interchangeable head A selected from the group consisting of a disk spray unit A1; a nozzle spray unit A2; a dual fluid spray unit A3 and a high temperature spray unit A4; and wherein said tower (1) comprises an interchangeable collector installed in the lower part B of the tower selected from the group consisting of collector type 1 (B1), collector type 2 (B2), collector type 3 (B3) and collector type 4 (B4) or combinations of the same.

Administration of certain chromium complexes in combination with a starch provide unexpected benefits regarding increasing amino acid absorption, protein synthesis, exercise tolerance, lean muscle mass, skeletal muscle hypertrophy, muscle power, muscle endurance, muscle strength, FSR, and decreasing delayed onset muscle soreness, muscle protein breakdown, and fat mass.

The present invention relates generally to the field of beverages. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of beverages fortified with iron. For example, the present inventors have found that iron fortification with ferrous bisglycinate in a plant based beverage with a pH in the range of 3.5 to 3.9 leads to an increased color stability and a better taste of the beverage compared to other compounds commonly used to fortify beverages with iron.
