A method for enhancing the sweetness of sugar in chocolate that contains a prescribed amount of sugar, to thereby reduce the amount of sugar used. Upon thoroughly investigating a resolution to the abovementioned problem, the inventor discovered that incorporating a prescribed amount of phosphatidylcholine in chocolate that contains a prescribed amount of sugar makes it possible to enhance the sweetness of the sugar, resultantly making it possible to reduce the amount of sugar used.

Provided herein is a composition of substances preferably obtained from natural sources, which is effective in preventing and/or treating iron deficiency conditions or diseases. The composition includes iron pyrophosphate, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine and starch, preferably acetylated pregelatinised starch. The formulation gives the composition gastro-resistance properties and high bioavailability of the active ingredient iron pyrophosphate. The composition is prepared in the form of a solid, semi-solid or liquid pharmaceutical dosage, preferably for oral administration.
