What is Heme Iron
Heme iron, also known as porphyrin iron, is iron bound to porphyrins in hemoglobin and myoglobin. It is primarily found in animal red meat, liver, and blood. KINTAI extracts iron from bovine or porcine red blood cells at concentrations of 2% and 8% to meet different application needs.
It can be used to improve iron-deficiency anemia and is non-irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, making it suitable for those intolerant to traditional iron supplements. Heme iron is currently being used in functional foods, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical preparations.
Heme Iron and Nonheme Iron
Iron is an essential element for the human body, and iron in food exists mainly in two forms. One is ionic iron, namely non-heme iron. It has a high content in food but a low absorption rate in the human body. The other is heme iron, a red pigment found in the blood and muscles of higher animals, composed of porphyrin and a molecule of iron. Its absorption rate is relatively high, up to 30%, and it is generally unaffected by dietary factors.
| Differences | Heme Iron | Nonheme Iron |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Animal-based foods (red meat, poultry, seafood, offal) | Plant-based foods, synthetic iron supplements, iron-fortified products |
| Absorption Efficiency | High, about 15%-35% | low, about 1%-15% |
| Absorption Mechanism | Absorbed as a whole by specific receptors in the small intestine in the form of heme molecules | Absorbed in the form of ferrous iron and needs to be converted in the intestine |
| Influence Factors | Not easily affected by dietary inhibitors such as phytic acid and polyphenols | Inhibited by phytic acid, polyphenols, calcium, oxalic acid, etc., promoted by vitamin C and meat |
| Bioavailability | High | Low |

Heme Iron Polypeptide Powder Benefits
1.Promot Hematopoiesis
Heme iron can participate efficiently in hemoglobin synthesis, providing key raw materials for hematopoiesis; it can increase the production of red blood cells, helping to improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
2.Enhance Immunity
It can maintain the normal function of the immune system and strengthen the body's defensive foundation; it helps the body better resist the invasion of pathogens and reduce the risk of infectious diseases.
3.Anti-anemia
Heme iron can effectively improve iron-deficiency anemia and promote the recovery of hemoglobin and red blood cells. Its absorption rate is higher than that of inorganic iron, and its absorption rate is even higher during iron deficiency.
4.Improve Oxygen Transport Capacity
Heme iron contributes to the transport and distribution of oxygen in the body; it can ensure that various organs and tissues receive sufficient oxygen to maintain normal physiological functions.
5.Promot Growth and Development
Sufficient heme iron is crucial during the growth stage of children and adolescents; it can provide necessary support for the normal physical and intellectual development.
6.Maintain Brain Function
It can ensure normal brain metabolism and facilitate neurotransmitter synthesis; it helps improve attention, memory, and thinking abilities, maintaining the proper operation of the brain.
