Origin of the hemoglobin powder: The Netherlands
Our hemoglobin powder is produced in the Netherlands by the only manufacturer of its kind within the EU capable of producing hemoglobin powder of this quality from cattle. Our specialized producer is a global leader in innovative and renewable raw materials derived from the meat industry and works exclusively with recovering valuable nutrients from by-products that would otherwise go to waste.
There is currently no niche organic production of this raw material. The cattle may come from different types of farms, provided that all quality and safety requirements are met.
The hemoglobin powder is rigorously tested for pathogens, pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics, hormones, and other contaminants, and complies with one of the EU’s strictest regulatory frameworks for food production. Because the raw material, blood, when handled correctly, is essentially sterile, the final product is exceptionally pure. It is one of very few animal-based raw materials, possibly the only one, where organic production does not result in a higher-quality end product.
That said, we naturally support high standards of animal welfare and hope to see dedicated organic production become possible in the future.

Frequently asked questions
-
Mild taste of oats and notes of lingonberries, with an occasional faint iron nuance, which is easily hidden with the right dosage and seasoning.
-
For most people it is very mild and not noticeable. It may still be a good idea to start with 1 scoop a day so that the stomach can get used to it. A few children may initially have a slightly harder stomach from mini ferrum, especially if it occurs in connection with the general food introduction, but most tolerate it very well from the start.
-
The origin of the animals is the Netherlands and we use a well-certified producer, one of the few in the EU who specializes in innovative & renewable raw materials in meat production, such as hemoglobin powder.
-
There is no specific organic production of hemoglobin powder, but the animals can come from both conventional and organic farms. We obviously still want fully organic production for the future, based on care for the animal husbandry, but this does not affect the quality of the raw material in any way.
-
Our hemoglobin powder is a pure food-tech raw material used within both the food and pharmaceutical industries, and it undergoes very strict quality controls for pesticides, pathogens, antibiotics, hormones, heavy metals, and similar substances.
Unlike other animal-derived parts - such as organs like liver and kidney, which can accumulate substances like heavy metals over time - blood is sterile when handled correctly. This results in a final product that is exceptionally clean and of very high quality.
