Iron in Organ Meats

Yes, absolutely: Organ meats, particularly liver, are among the richest dietary sources of iron and contain it in a highly bioavailable form.
Heme iron: The iron found in liver and other organ meats is primarily heme iron, which is absorbed by the human body much more efficiently than the non-heme iron found in plant-based foods.
Absorption efficiency: While non-heme iron typically has an absorption rate of only 2 to 20 percent, heme iron from animal sources generally boasts an absorption rate of 15 to 35 percent.
Nutritional synergy: Liver also provides significant amounts of vitamin A, copper, and various B-vitamins (especially B12 and folate), which work synergistically in overall blood health and iron utilization.
Clinical consideration: Because this iron is so readily absorbed, individuals with conditions characterized by excessive iron accumulation, such as hemochromatosis, need to exercise caution with frequent consumption of iron-dense organ meats.
