Heme Iron is more easily absorbed by human body, compared to inorganic iron. This is due to the fact that Heme iron's intake is not influenced by the many ligands in the diet; furthermore, it is directly taken up into enterocytes by an absorption pathway different from that of inorganic iron. Heme iron is also unaffected by the high pH of the upper small bowel, which renders some forms of inorganic iron insoluble.
