Elemental iron powders are used as food fortificants to reduce the incidence of deficiency anemia. However, many commercially available relatively untested in vivo. The purpose this study was determine hemoglobin regeneration efficiency (HRE) and relative bioavailability (RBV) an electrolytic elemental powder (EIP), by treating anemic rats with 14 d repletion diets fortified four different concentrations (12, 24, 36, or 48 mg iron/kg diet) EIP bakery-grade ferrous sulfate monohydrate (FS; FeSO
