Absorption of dietary iron in iron salt form (as in most supplements) varies somewhat according to the body's need for iron, and is usually between 10% and 20% of iron intake. Absorption of iron from animal products, and some plant products, is in the form of heme iron, and is more efficient, allowing absorption of from 15% to 35% of intake.

Duodenal cytochrome B (Dcytb) also known as cytochrome b reductase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYBRD1 gene.. Dcytb CYBRD1 was first identified as a ferric reductase enzyme which catalyzes the reduction of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ required for dietary iron absorption in the duodenum of mammals. [5]
Oxalates bind to calcium, magnesium and iron, preventing their absorption in the human body. [6] Glucosinolates prevent the uptake of iodine, affecting the function of the thyroid and thus are considered goitrogens. They are found in plants such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, mustard greens, radishes, and cauliflower. [6]
Aggregated ferritin transforms into a water insoluble, crystalline and amorphous form of storage iron called hemosiderin. [5] Ferritin is a globular protein complex consisting of 24 protein subunits forming a hollow spherical nanocage with multiple metal–protein interactions. [6] Ferritin with iron removed is called apoferritin. [7]: e10
Does dairy cause inflammation? Routhenstein says this is a misconception that “stems from the fact that some individuals experience gastrointestinal discomfort or allergic reactions to dairy ...
Hepcidin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAMP gene. Hepcidin is a key regulator of the entry of iron into the circulation in mammals. [6]During conditions in which the hepcidin level is abnormally high, such as inflammation, serum iron falls due to iron trapping within macrophages and liver cells and decreased gut iron absorption.
3. Folic Acid. Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin found naturally in many foods. If you eat lots of dark leafy greens (like broccoli, spinach and asparagus), beans, nuts, seeds ...
