Description
Dietary iron is found in two forms, heme, and nonheme iron. Heme iron is a highly bioavailable form of iron. Heme iron is isolated from animal sources such as meat, poultry, and fish. Heme iron is well absorbed, nonheme iron, which accounts for the majority of the iron in plants is less absorbed. More than 95% of functional iron in the human body is in the form of heme. Heme iron is not associated with common side effects of elemental (nonheme) iron supplementation such as constipation, nausea, and gastrointestinal upset.
