1 Ferritin is being explored as a novel and natural strategy for iron supplementation. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
2 The objective of this study was to evaluate iron bioavailability from ferritin isolated from plant and animal sources. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
3 Furthermore, ferritin was labeled with (59)Fe, and bioavailability of iron from ferritin was assessed by uptake into Caco-2 cells. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
4 Furthermore, ferritin was labeled with (59)Fe, and bioavailability of iron from ferritin was assessed by uptake into Caco-2 cells. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
5 Our results indicate that iron is taken up from the ferritins and that iron bioavailability from soybean ferritin (rH-1:rH-2=1:1) is the highest. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
6 In conclusion, ferritin from plant and animal sources may be developed as an iron source. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
