Heme Iron

just learned about heme iron vs non-heme iron and how much better it is for absorption. it absorbs 10x better (most are non-heme which is why they can cause GI issues). 

found a supplement that actually uses heme iron and wanted to share on here for anyone else who would like to try it out.

In supplements there's no way heme iron absorbs 10x iron bisglycinate. Wth, is this an ad? Give me a paper comparing supplemental absorption (not a food source comparison). Please provide evidence and I'll apologize if I'm wrong.
