Iron Absorption (Non-Heme) (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Physiological Process, Metabolic Pathway

Overview

Non-heme iron absorption refers to the process by which inorganic iron, primarily found in plant-based foods, is taken up from the gastrointestinal tract into the body. Unlike heme iron (from animal sources), non-heme iron is less efficiently absorbed and its uptake is influenced by various dietary and physiological factors.

Mechanism of action
