Produced between 1892 and 1912 in Stockholm by Tekniska Fabriken Röda Korset (Red cross technical factory),[4][5] the product was widely available in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway,[6] and advertised in a number of American publications.[2][5][3]

An 1899 pharmaceutical reference book printed in Philadelphia defined the product as a "Swedish nutrient in form of a yellowish-white powder, possessing a taste at first saline, later sweetish, and then acrid and bitter."[7]
