CALCIUM

ENRICHED
WITH STABLE
VITAMINS
FortiprayTM is a new trademark developed
by Prayon which consists of a calcium
phosphate salt (calcium phosphate,
E341) and fat-soluble vitamins complex.
FortiprayTM provides vitamins D2 and
D3 while improving the intestinal
absorption of the calcium delivered by
the phosphate salt.
The vitamins are included in the phosphate salt using an exclusive process
guaranteeing uniform distribution of

the vitamins. This specific process also
ensures the stability and availability of
the vitamins for more than one year*.
Applications
• I n processed cheese, Fortipray TM
ensures good dispersion of a fatsoluble product in an aqueous
environment.
• I n enriched drinks, Fortipray TM
maintains vitamin stability.

BENEFITS
OF FORTIPRAYTM
01 Calcium source
The phosphate salt used as a basis is a
product called tricalcium phosphate, more
commonly known as TCP.
This source of calcium offers multiple
benefits:
• TCP has a very high calcium content
(38%). The main benefit is that you can
use a negligible dose of TCP to adjust
the calcium content of your food product.
• TCP is insoluble at neutral and alkaline pH
levels. With TCP you do not add any free
calcium to your formulation. Consequently,
there is no negative interference in the
texture or stability of the food product.
• For use in drinks, it is advisable to work
with a thickener in order to increase
viscosity and limit the sedimentation
of TCP. FortiprayTM requires a smaller
quantity of thickener compared to other
grades of TCP available on the market.
• TCP has a neutral, imperceptible taste
on the tongue due to its very fine grind
(the average particle size is around 4 µm).
• The calcium is available. The TCP dissolves
at stomach pH levels, making the calcium
available in the bolus in free form (just
like any other source of soluble calcium).
02 Stable source of fat-soluble vitamin
Fat-soluble vitamins are usually unstable
by their very nature. Since these are organic
molecules that deteriorate easily under light,
oxygen and heat, they should be protected
- especially when used in food products.
Moreover, these vitamins are fat soluble only,
meaning they cannot be easily deployed in
products containing water. With FortiprayTM,
the fat-soluble vitamins are “fixed” to the
phosphate salt using an innovative process
(patent pending) that guarantees optimal
protection for the vitamin and stability over
more than a year*.

The vitamin is also evenly distributed
throughout the product. This ensures
good dispersion of the vitamin in the
final product (whether in an aqueous or
fatty environment), without having to go
through tedious and potentially inaccurate
oil dilution stages.

FORTIPRAYTM
AA XX
The FortiprayTM range was designed to enable flexibility in
formulation: add the fat-soluble vitamin(s) of your choice at the
right concentration for your process.
In this range, the letters aa are used to designate the type of vitamin,
while the letters xx provide information about the concentration
of the vitamin in FortiprayTM (in ppm).
Example FortiprayTM D3 01 or “how to combine
the delivery of calcium and vitamin D”
The FortiprayTM range is ideal for combining the delivery of calcium
with the vitamin D needed to encourage calcium absorption.
Double-blind biomedical research carried out on 112 subjects
with FortiprayTM D3 01 demonstrated that when vitamin D3 is
fixed to the TCP, the effect is better than if the TCP and vitamin
D3 are added separately. This can be observed in terms of the
apparent digestibility of the calcium, its retention coefficient and
in the vitamin D plasma level.
During the study, FortiprayTM was provided “as is” in capsule form
and the daily absorbed dose was approximately 1.75 µg/day,
corresponding to 35% of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance,
which is 5 µg/day).
