Viteri, Fernando E. | García Ibañez, Roberto | Torún, Benjamín
Extract: Studies were performed in seven children and 98 adults to compare the proportion of iron absorbed when administered as ferric sulfate (Fe2(SO4)3), NaFeEDTA, hemoglobin (Hb), and ferrous ascorbate. Results indicate that NaFeEDTA, Fe2(SO4)3 and nonheme food iron form a common pool different from the heme pool but which is changed in its characteristics by the presence of NaFeEDTA, resulting in a better absorption of iron.
