Iron is an essential mineral functioning mainly in the transport and storage of oxygen throughout the body. Around 2-4gm of iron exists in the body, the majority in haemoglobin (65%), in storage in the liver and macrophages (20%), and in storage in myoglobin (10%). The remainder resides functionally in enzyme complexes.
Iron is found in dietary sources in both heme and non-heme forms. Heme iron exists as a complex with protoporphyrin and is available in animal products such as red meat, poultry and seafood. Non-heme iron is found in both animal and plant sources including green leafy vegetables, legumes and seeds, and is available as free or weakly bound iron. Non-heme iron has an affinity for binding complexes such as phytates or polyphenols. It is, therefore, less bioavailable than heme iron.
