Haem iron is found in meat, seafood and poultry. It is absorbed more effectively than non-haem iron and it is an essential component of the red blood cells and provides the oxygen transport. Hence, it is better to consume haem iron-rich foods in case of iron deficiency.
Taking too much Haem Iron in the diet by people with abnormal iron metabolism is dangerous as well and may cause a disease such as hemochromatosis.
