Absorption:
Heme iron is different from the iron salts also in that the hemoglobin molecule is taken in without prior splitting in the gut. The uptake itself is thus more efficient and is not affected by other simultaneously digested foodstuffs. In the uptake of non-heme iron there can be large differences if tea, coffee, milk or coarse bread is present. All of these affect the absorption in a negative way. A glass of orange juice makes for better absorption.
Application:
The product is used as a treatment of iron deficiency. Iron deficiency is a very common worldwide nutritional problem and a common cause of anemia. Pregnant women, young women during their reproductive years, teenagers and children tend to be at the highest risk for iron deficiency.
