Dietary Factors (physico-chemical form, other dietary constituents, Iron dose) and host-related conditions play a role in the absorption and subsequently in the epidemiology of IDA.
How do they affect Iron absorption?

Physico – chemical form
Hem and non-hem Iron are absorbed by different pathways, and also with different degrees of efficiency.
Twenty to thirty percent of heme Iron is absorbed, percentage almost unaffected by other variables.
