14. Heme & Non Heme

15. Forms of Dietary Iron
Heme iron
• Derived from
hemoglobin found
in animal food
sources - meat,
poultry, fish
• Absorption of iron
is higher
• Non-heme Iron
• Found in plant
sources and fortified
foods
• Absorption of iron is
lower

16. Iron Absorption - Enhancers
• The absorption of iron from mixed cereal-pulse diet is POOR (5% in
men and children and 8% in all women)
• Food Enhancing Iron Absorption
- Foods containing Vitamin C:
- Citrus fruits like lemon, orange
- Amla
- Tomatoes Sprouted pulse (Germinated pulse)

350% (NIN, 2010)
