2 major forms of dietary iron
- ______ and is absorbed more efficiently, derived from myoglobin and hemoglobin (meat)
- _______ may be either ferric/ferrous and from plant foods
Heme iron, nonheme
Tends to form salt complex and not soluble to ph values higher than 3. Most iron in diet is in this form
Ferric iron
Does not complex easily and soluble to pH value as high as 8
Ferrous iron
