Comparison of in vitro, animal, and clinical determinations of iron bioavailability: International Nutritional Anemia Consultative Group Task Force report on iron bioavailability [published erratum appears in Am J Clin Nutr 1989 Jun;49(6):1332]

Relative bioavailability of two iron fortificants, electrolytic Fe and ferric orthophosphate, was related to that of the reference ferrous sulfate with in vitro and rat model depletion-repletion methods in four laboratories to compare values directly with those obtained in a parallel human study. In vitro testing was performed on Fe compounds with both solubility and dialysis in a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion system. Two depletion-repletion techniques, hemoglobin-regeneration efficiency (HRE) and an official method of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), were examined. AOAC relative biological values (RBV) of electrolytic Fe were 0.66 and 0.78 and of FePO4 were 0.25 and 0.34. HRE values were 0.78 and 0.58 for electrolytic Fe and FePO4, respectively. When compared with FeSO4 in a radiolabeled farina-based meal fed to humans, the RBV of FePO4 was 0.25 and electrolytic Fe 0.75. Results obtained with the AOAC method serve as the most reliable prediction of Fe bioavailability in the human although in vitro dialysis is a promising screening technique.
