WHY HEME IRON?
Generally food contains two different forms of iron, Non-Heme iron and Heme iron. 90% of iron intake comes from Non-Heme iron, while 10% comes from Heme iron. Non-Heme iron is present in herbal foods (vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grain and fruits) and represents most of iron that humans consume in their diets.
Non–Heme is also the type of iron widely found in iron dietary supplements.
Heme iron comes naturally from animal sources (beef, pork, fish, poultry) and is a key source of dietary iron. It is derived from hemoglobin (in RBCs) and myoglobin (in muscular tissues), oxygen-binding proteins that contain Heme.
Heme iron is the most effective source of iron especially for people who are iron deficient.
Heme iron and Non Heme iron are absorbed by two totally different mechanisms in our body. As such, the bioavailability of both iron forms is also different.
Non-heme iron is less absorbed (1-15%), resulting in side-effects such as constipation and gastric upset. In addition, dietary factors that alter iron absorption as (tannins, phytates, polyphenols) and stomach acidity.
Heme iron is the most readily absorbed (15-45%) The entire heme molecule is absorbed so there is no risk of leaving free iron ions in the gastrointestinal tract. The uptake itself is thus efficient and heme iron which is not absorbed will not cause irritations. In addition, its absorption is not negatively affected by dietary factors and stomach acid.
