APPLICATIONS OF GLOBALLY
HARMONIZED NUTRIENTS
This project will develop a bioavailability
algorithm for calcium and introduce published
algorithms for iron and zinc bioavailability,
develop them for integration into iron and
zinc labeling globally, develop a consensus on
standardized nutrients’ equivalencies and units
for food labeling (e.g., for iron, zinc and calcium),
and work with the ILSI federation to determine
the needs of other regions around the world.
This project is led by Connie Weaver, PhD, San Diego State
University, USA.
