Iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutritional defiency in the world. It negatively affects the quality of life and physical condition. To manage it, iron intake needs to be increased through a better diet and/or iron supplementation.
FORMS OF IRON
Dietary iron occurs in two forms: heme and non-heme iron. Heme-iron occurs naturally in animal sources and it is the most effective source of iron for people who have iron deficiency. Traditional iron supplements contain high amounts of non-heme iron which often cause gastrointestinal side effects.

Frequently asked questions
Heme Iron occurs naturally in animal sources (beef, pork, fish, poultry) and is a key source of dietary iron. It is derived from hemoglobin (in red blood cells) and myoglobin (in muscle tissue), oxygen-binding proteins that contain heme. Heme iron’s relative importance is attributable to its high bioavailability. Heme iron is the most effective source of iron for people who have an iron deficiency.
None-heme iron is present in plant-based foods (vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grain, fruit) and represents most of the iron that humans consume in their diets. Non-heme is also the type of iron commonly found in traditional iron food supplements. However, due to its poor ability to dissolve in the bowel, only a small fraction reaches the blood. Consequently, its bioavailability is very low.
Organic iron is the natural component of hemoglobin/myoglobin, and present in meat, fish and poultry. It has high bioavailability: absorption of 15-45%, average absorption of 25%. Absorption is more efficient and not influenced by dietary factors and gastric acid. Heme iron is absorbed as a whole unit, thus no free iron ions are present in the gut. Unabsorbed heme iron does not cause side effects.
Inorganic irons are commonly found in traditional iron food supplements and present in plant-based foods. It has low bioavailability: absorption of 1-15%, average absorption of 5%. Absorption is less efficient and is influenced by gastric acid and dietary factors (tea, coffee, cereals,…). Traditional iron supplements contain high amounts of non-heme iron which often cause gastrointestinal side effects (e.g. nausea, vomiting, gastric pain, diarrhea, constipation).
