Depleting Agents: phosphoproteins in eggs Deficiency Deficiency and phytates in unleavened whole wheat reduce iron availability to the body.
Sources: Iron occurs in foodstuffs as heme and nonheme iron. Heme iron, contained in food products from animals, is in the form of hemoglobin or myoglobin. Nonheme iron is iron salts and is contained in plant and dairy products. Nonheme iron makes up the majority of dietary iron, but heme iron is better absorbed.
Iron is found in eggs, fish, liver, meat, poultry, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, and enriched breads and cereals.
