This paper summarizes several studies which describe significant increases in the intestinal absorption of iron from iron amino acid chelate compared to inorganic iron salts. While these increased uptakes of iron from the amino acid chelate into mucosal tissue are highly significant, this paper also demonstrates that there is a mechanism in the mucosal tissue which controls the quantity of iron from the amino acid chelate that is transferred to the plasma. For example, the higher the hemoglobin value, the less iron transferred. When considered together these studies demonstrate that iron amino acid chelate is both a safe and effective source of iron for treatment of iron deficiencies.<br>Absorción y metabolismo del hierro aminoquelado. Este artículo resume algunos artículos que describen incrementos significativos en la absorción del hierro aminoquelado comparado con la absorción de sales inorgánicas de hierro. También se demuestra la existencia de un mecanismo en la mucosa intestinal que controla la cantidad de hierro aminoquelado que es transferida al plasma. Por ejemplo, a mayor nivel de hemoglobina, menor cantidad de hierro es transferida al plasma. Considerados en la luz de los estudios discutidos, se demuestra que el hierro aminoquelado es una thente segura y efectiva para el tratamiento de la deficiencia de hierro y la anemia ferropriva.
