a. Eggs
A common food source that inhibits iron absorption is eggs. Eggs contain phosvitin,
a protein compound that binds iron molecules together and prevents the body from
absorbing iron from foods. According to the Iron Disorders Institute, one boiled egg
can reduce iron absorption by as much as 28 percent.
b. Calcium-Rich Foods
Milk can prevent your body from absorbing an adequate amount of iron. Milk
contains calcium, an essential mineral and the only known substance to inhibit
absorption of both non-heme and heme iron. One cup of milk contains approximately
300 mg of calcium. Calcium has little or no effect on iron absorption when less than
50 mg is ingested, but it can inhibit heme iron and non-heme iron absorption when
300 to 600 mg is consumed on a daily basis. Large amounts of calcium can also be
found in yogurt, cheese, sardines, canned salmon, tofu, broccoli, almonds, figs,
turnip greens and rhubarb.
c. Foods High in Oxalates
If you consume large amounts of tea with your meals, you may not be receiving an
adequate amount of iron from those foods, according to the website
VeganHealth.org. Tea contains oxalates -- oxalic acid compounds that impair the
absorption of non-heme iron. Oxalates can also be found in spinach, kale, beets,
nuts, chocolate, wheat bran, rhubarb, strawberries and herbs such as oregano,
basil and parsley.
d. Polyphenol-Rich Foods
Cocoa and coffee are food sources that can inhibit iron absorption in the body. These
foods sources contain polyphenols or phenolic compounds, antioxidants that help
remove damaging free-floating cells from the body. According to the Iron Disorders
Institute, cocoa can inhibit 90 percent of iron absorption in the body, while one cup
of coffee can prevent iron absorption by as much as 60 percent. Phenolic acid can
also be found in apples, peppermint and some herbal teas, spices, walnuts,
blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. It is important to note that these foods
should not be consumed two hours prior to, or following, your main iron-rich meal.
e. Foods High in Phytates
Walnuts can reduce the amount of iron your body absorbs from iron-rich foods.
Walnuts contain phytates -- compounds found in soy protein and fiber. Even low
levels of phytates have a strong inhibitory effect on your bodys ability to absorb
iron from foods. According to the Iron Disorders Institute, phytates can reduce iron
absorption from food by approximately 50 to 65 percent. Phytates can also be found
in almonds, sesame, dried beans, lentils, peas, cereals and whole grains.
Iron from meat, poultry, and fish (i.e., heme iron) is absorbed two to three times more
efficiently than iron from plants (i.e., non-heme iron).
The amount of iron absorbed from plant foods (non-heme iron) depends on the other
types of foods eaten at the same meal.
Foods containing heme iron (meat, poultry, and fish) enhance iron absorption from foods
that contain non-heme iron (e.g., fortified cereals, some beans, and spinach).
Foods containing vitamin C (see Dietary Sources of vitamin C) also enhance non-heme
iron absorption when eaten at the same meal.
Substances (such as polyphenols, phytates, or calcium) that are part of some foods or
drinks such as tea, coffee, whole grains, legumes and milk or dairy products can
decrease the amount of non-heme iron absorbed at a meal. Calcium can also decrease
the amount heme-iron absorbed at a meal. However, for healthy individuals who
consume a varied diet that conforms to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the amount
of iron inhibition from these substances is usually not of concern.
Vegetarian diets are low in heme iron, but careful meal planning can help increase the
amount of iron absorbed.
Some other factors (such as taking antacids beyond the recommended dose or medicine
used to treat peptic ulcer disease and acid reflux) can reduce the amount of acid in the
stomach and the iron absorbed and cause iron deficiency.

The following factors will increase the iron absorption from non-heme foods:
A good source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - i.e., oranges, grapefruits, tomatoes,
broccoli and strawberries, eaten with a NON-HEME food
A HEME and NON-HEME food eaten together
A NON-HEME food cooked in an iron pot, such as a cast iron skillet
The following factors will decrease non-heme iron absorption:
Large amounts of tea or coffee consumed with a meal (the polyphenols bind the
iron).
Excess consumption of high fiber foods or bran supplements (the phytates in
such foods inhibit absorption).
High intake of calcium - take your calcium supplement at a different time from
your iron supplement.

Phytates are found in all kinds of grains, seeds, nuts, vegetables, roots (e.g., potatoes), and
fruits. Chemically, phytates are inositol hexaphosphate salts and are a storage form of
phosphates and minerals. Other phosphates have not been shown to inhibit non-heme iron
absorption. In North American and European diets, about 90 percent of phytates originate from
cereals. Phytates strongly inhibit iron absorption in a dose-dependent fashion and even small
amounts of phytates have a marked effect (29, 30).
Bran (dedak) has a high content of phytate and strongly inhibits iron absorption. Whole-wheat
flour, therefore, has a much higher content of phytates than does white wheat flour ( 31). In
bread some of the phytates in bran are degraded during the fermentation of the dough.
Fermentation for a couple of days (sourdough fermentation) can therefore almost completely
degrade the phytate and increase the bio-availability of iron in bread made from whole-wheat
flour (32). Oats strongly inhibit iron absorption because of their high phytate content, that results
from native phytase in oats being destroyed by the normal heat process used to avoid rancidity
(33). Sufficient amounts of ascorbic acid can counteract this inhibition (34). By contrast, nonphytate-containing dietary fibre components have almost no influence on iron absorption.
Almost all plants contain phenolic compounds as part of their defence system against insects,
animals, and humans. Only some of the phenolic compounds (mainly those containing galloyl
groups) seem to be responsible for the inhibition of iron absorption (35). Tea, coffee, and
cocoa are common plant products that contain iron-binding polyphenols ( 36-39). Many
vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables (e.g., spinach), and herbs and spices (e.g.,
oregano) contain appreciable amounts of galloyl groups, that strongly inhibit iron absorption.
Consumption of betel leaves, common in areas of Asia, also has a marked negative effect on
iron absorption.
Calcium, consumed as a salt or in dairy products interferes significantly with the absorption of
both heme and non-heme iron (40-42). Because calcium and iron are both essential nutrients,
calcium cannot be considered to be an inhibitor in the same way as phytates or phenolic
compounds. The practical solution for this competition is to increase iron intake, increase its
bio-availability, or avoid the intake of foods rich in calcium and foods rich in iron at the same
meal (43).
The mechanism of action for absorption inhibition is unknown, but the balance of evidence
strongly suggest that the inhibition is located within the mucosal cell itself at the common final
transfer step for heme and non-heme iron. Recent analyses of the dose-effect relationship show
that no inhibition is seen from the first 40 mg of calcium in a meal. A sigmoid relationship is
then seen, reaching a 60 percent maximal inhibition of iron absorption by 300-600 mg calcium.
For unknown reasons, the addition of soy protein to a meal reduces the fraction of iron
absorbed (45-48). This inhibition is not solely explained by the high phytate content of soy
protein. However, because of the high iron content of soy proteins, the net effect on iron
absorption of an addition of soy products to a meal is usually positive. In infant foods containing
soy proteins, the inhibiting effect can be overcome by the addition of sufficient amounts of
ascorbic acid. Some fermented soy sauces, however, have been found to enhance iron
absorption (49, 50).
Organic acids, such as citric acid, have in some studies been found to enhance the absorption
of non-heme iron (29). This effect is not observed as consistently as is the effect of ascorbic
acid (47, 52). Sauerkraut (59) and other fermented vegetables and even some fermented soy
sauces (49, 50) enhance iron absorption. The nature of this enhancement has not yet been
determined.
marrow or to other cells in different tissues. Uptake and distribution of iron in the body is
regulated by the synthesis of transferrin receptors on the cell surface. This system for internal
iron transport not only controls the rate of flow of iron to different tissues according to their
needs but also effectively prevents the appearance of free iron and the formation of free radicals
in the circulation.
The second mechanism is the access of the specific storage protein, ferritin, which can store
and release iron to meet excessive iron demands. This iron reservoir is especially important in
the third trimester of pregnancy.
The third mechanism involves the regulation of absorption of iron from the intestines, with an
increased iron absorption in the presence of decreasing body iron stores and a decreased iron
absorption when iron stores increase. Iron absorption decreases until an equilibrium is
established between absorption and requirements. For a given diet this regulation of iron
absorption, however, can only balance losses up to a certain critical point beyond which iron
deficiency will develop (68). About half of the basal iron losses are from blood, primarily in the
gastrointestinal tract. Both these losses and the menstrual iron losses are influenced by the
haemoglobin level; during the development of an iron deficiency, menstrual and basal iron
losses will successively decrease when the haemoglobin level decreases. In a state of more
severe iron deficiency, skin iron losses may also decrease. Iron balance (absorption equals
losses) may be present not only in normal subjects but also during iron deficiency and iron
overload.
The three main factors that affect iron balance are absorption (intake and bio-availability of
iron), losses, and amount in stores. The interrelationship among these factors was recently
been described in mathematical terms, making it possible to predict, for example, the amount of
stored iron when iron losses and bio-availability of dietary iron are known (69). With increasing
iron requirements or decreasing bio-availability, the regulatory capacity to prevent iron deficiency
is limited (68). However, to prevent iron overload with increasing dietary iron intake or bioavailability, the regulatory capacity seems to be extremely good (69).

Iron
absorbed from the intestine is stored as ferritin in intestinal epithelium or transported in plasma as
transferrin. Erythroid progenitors obtain iron for hemoglobin synthesis from plasma transferrin or from
recycling of senescent erythrocytes by macrophages in bone marrow, spleen and liver. Iron that is in
excess for that required for hemoglobin production is stored in macrophages as ferritin, which is oxidized
to hemosiderin. These stores can be released from macrophages in times of need (increased
erythropoiesis).
Iron transfer/recycling
Iron is not free in the circulation but exists as transferrin (bound to apotransferrin). Most of the
iron used for red blood cell hemoglobin production is obtained from hemoglobin breakdown of
senescent RBCs (called recycling). When red blood cells reach the end of their lifespan
(senescent), they are phagocytized by macrophages (in the spleen, liver, bone marrow).
Hydrolytic enzymes in macrophages degrade the ingested RBCs and release hemoglobin.
Proteolytic digestion of hemoglobin liberates heme and globins. Globins are broken down to
amino acids which can be used for protein production. The iron is released from heme, leaving a
porphyrin ring which is converted to bilirubin. For more information on this, refer to the page on
extravascular hemolysis). Once iron is released from the heme, it is utilized by the cell (iron is
an essential component of many enzymes), exported (via ferroportin), or stored as ferritin (like
enterocytes - see above figure). In macrophages, ceruloplasmin (which like hephaestin in
intestinal cells also requires copper) is a ferroxidase and facilitates the transfer of
macrophage iron to transferrin. So copper deficiency decreases iron release from macrophages
and affects iron absorption. Like enterocytes, hepcidin downregulates ferroportin causing iron
sequestration in macrophages.
Iron uptake by eythroid progenitors
"functional" iron deficiency because iron is not released from macrophages (results in
increased iron stores). This contributes to the anemia of inflammatory disease.
