Italian term or phrase: su
Full sentence:

Cianocobalamina (Vitamina B12) su maltodestrine

Apperas in the list of ingredients for a vitamin supplement

Cianocobalamina = Cyanocobalamine (Vitamin B12)

Maltodestrine = maltodextrins

So far so good.

But what about 'su' - what is meant by 'su' here?
